Primo Euro Charcoal Drawing
Pencil Set
Featuring a Drawing by
J. D. Hillberry
|
 |
I collaborated with
General's Pencil Company to produce a special
drawing kit that contains many of the pencils I use
and recommend. The kit a picture of one of my
charcoal and pencil drawings entitled "A
String of Memories"
You can
order these pencil sets along with other realistic
drawing supplies directly from my store here:
The Primo Euro Blend
Charcoal Drawing set includes
(1) Primo Elite Grande 5000 Pencil:
This brand pencil produces rich, dark values with no
shine. Excellent for creating more contrast and
realism. Students in my 2008 still life drawing
workshop were able to test this pencil before it even
became available to the general public. They gave rave
reviews commenting on it's extremely smooth dark
values.
(4) Primo Charcoal Pencils - (3 black, HB, B, 3B,
1 white):
I use these in my drawing
workshops, The unique creamy formula lays down
and blends easily.
(4) Primo Sticks (3 black, 1 white):
Charcoal Sticks are great for massing in large areas
and producing unique backgrounds.
(1) Magic Black Eraser:
This black eraser was formulated especially for
charcoal. It does not smudge, cuts a clean edge and
won't harm the paper.
(1) Kneaded Eraser:
This eraser can be formed into any shape. Use it to
keep your drawings clean and highlights bright. I also
use it to gently lighten areas to adjust values and
create textures.
(1) All-Art
Sharpener with Canister:
These are the same sharpeners we use in my drawing
workshops. Designed to sharpen charcoal and carbon
pencils without breaking and is able to sharpen the
fatter pencils like the Jumbo Hex Carbon and the
Carbon Sketch.
Add 3 more recommended
pencils to the drawing kit
I have also contracted with General's
Pencil company to offer three other pencils that I
highly recommend. The Kimberly 9xxb Graphite, the
Carbon Hard and the Carbon Sketch pencils are three
drawing necessities that I simply couldn't do
without. You have the option to include these 3
pencils when you order the drawing set.
Kimberly 9xxb extra soft graphite
pencil:
This extremely soft graphite became a hit in 2008
at my workshops. Although it is graphite, it doesn't
create the dreaded "shine" of other soft graphite.
Produces extra smooth black values. The wider core
is "Carbo-Welded" to withstand four times the normal
point pressure and the specially treated cedar wood
casings sharpen easily in the sharpener that is
included with the Primo set.
Generals Carbon Sketch Pencil
This pencil, along with the Carbon Hard below, is
used to render the illusion of the masking tape in
the "String of
Memories" drawing. Combines the smoothness of
graphite with the deep rich blacks of charcoal. The
hardness is 4B.
Generals Carbon Hard (h) pencil:
This is a harder version the Carbon Sketch. This is
very similar to the General's 2h extra hard pencil
and is great for creating the clean, dark, sharp
edges found in much of my work. The extra hard core
hard core hold an extremely sharp point without
breaking or crumbling. Without this pencil, it would
be impossible to create the sharp focus realism I'm
known for.
