FAQs
What is the difference between vine charcoal and compressed charcoal?
Vine charcoal is made by burning natural vines without binders, resulting in a softer, lighter mark that is very easy to erase and blend. Compressed charcoal includes binders like gum or wax, making it darker, harder to erase, and permanent.
What are the dimensions of each stick in the Grumbacher V42 pack?
Each medium vine charcoal stick in this 3 pack measures approximately 0.25 inches in diameter. Due to the natural burning process of real vines, slight variations in size may occur.
