White Charcoal Pencils for Highlighting on Dark and Toned Surfaces

General Pencil White Charcoal Pencils are specifically designed for artists who work on dark or colored paper and need a clean, brilliant white to create highlights, adjust values, or refine details. These handcrafted pencils deliver smooth, opaque marks that stand out beautifully against darker surfaces, allowing for dramatic contrast and precise control. Whether used alone or in combination with black charcoal, they provide a flexible tool for enhancing value and depth in your artwork.

When activated with water, these pencils can also produce a soft wash effect, adding a painterly quality to charcoal work. Easy to erase with a kneaded eraser and pre-sharpened for immediate use, they are ideal for both quick sketches and detailed compositions. Made in the USA using traditional methods, General’s White Charcoal Pencils are a dependable and expressive addition to any artist’s toolkit.
