Effortless Expression with Natural Charcoal

Winsor & Newton Vine Charcoal is a classic choice for artists who love the fluid, expressive quality of traditional charcoal. Made from carefully selected and baked willow wood, it offers a consistent density and smooth texture, allowing for even line quality and effortless shading. This charcoal is ideal for everything from loose, gestural sketches to highly detailed studies.

Its versatility shines through in every stroke—use light pressure for soft, airy lines or apply more force for bold, dramatic marks. The dark, velvety finish blends beautifully and erases easily with a kneaded eraser, making it perfect for building layers, refining compositions, or experimenting freely with your ideas.
