{"product_id":"alphacolor-char-kole","title":"Char-Kole","description":"\u003cp\u003eSquare charcoal sticks deliver consistent, deep blacks without the frustrating hard spots that scratch across your paper mid-stroke. Alphacolor formulates Char-Kole to blend smoothly whether you're building atmospheric backgrounds or modeling form through graduated tones. The rich black pigment responds to pressure changes, letting you move from delicate mid-tones to saturated darks within a single stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSquare profiles give you multiple working edges: use corners for precise lines and accents, then rotate to broader faces for covering larger areas or blocking in shadows. This versatility eliminates constant tool switching during active drawing sessions. The formulation maintains structural integrity without crumbling excessively, producing controlled dust that stays manageable on your drawing surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwelve sticks arrive in a protective plastic tray that keeps them organized and prevents breakage between sessions. Whether you're teaching figure drawing fundamentals or working through atmospheric landscape studies, this quantity supports sustained practice without the premium cost of individually wrapped sticks. The consistent quality across all twelve sticks means predictable performance from first stroke to last.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alphacolor","offers":[{"title":"box of 12","offer_id":48102388236517,"sku":"86683","price":11.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s86683.jpg?v=1768598508","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/alphacolor-char-kole","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
