Graphite is a dark, black, heavy pigment, very easy to use for drawing on the painting surface or for works on warm paper. This is the darkest graphite available.

Paint Sticks™ and Minis are very heavy concentration of fine artist grade pigment, held together with USP white beeswax. There are no fillers or oils, no synthetic or petroleum waxes in any Evans Encaustics products.

Break off a piece of the Paint Stick™ and melt it with at least double the quantity of medium. More medium will extend the color while maintaining the integrity of the paint.
Paint Sticks™ and Minis are exceptional when used directly on a hot palette for monotypes and other works on paper.
