Coates Willow Charcoal is perfect for small, detailed mark making or large gestural marks. The smooth texture is a pleasure to draw with, perfect for underpainting sketches or finished work. This charcoal has a silky black tone and creates rich gradients.

Hand made in rural England from dried Willow rods.  Coates have been making charcoal in the traditional manner since 1819. The intense blackness of natural willow charcoal makes it a perfect drawing tool and has been used by artists for centuries.
