Viarco ArtGraf XL Graphite Stick is extra-large 250gm handmade water-soluble graphite stick developed for big artistic interventions and large-scale drawings.

The graphite of 8B grade turns this rough object into a smooth drawing and painting instrument. It is formulated to be water-soluble to create interesting washes and effects when drawing however it can also be used as dry as a regular graphite stick.  

ArtGraf XL is a unique worldwide object whose artistic potential is totally unexplored and as such it establishes new frontiers to creativity. Viarco XL Graphite Drawing Stick puts a portion of the pencil making process in artist hands. Before a pencil's graphite is shaped into thin strands and glued in between pencil slats, the graphite is mixed and prepped. Instead of feeding the prepped graphite into a machine Viarco gives a large chunk of pencil graphite to use.

Viarco Art Graf XL Graphite Sticks can be used dry or wet. They have a hardness grade of 8B, measure 17 x 4.5cm and weight 250gm. These erasable graphite sticks are handmade in Portugal.
