{"product_id":"artgraf-xl-water-soluble-graphite-stick","title":"XL Water Soluble Graphite Stick","description":"\u003cp\u003eCovering large surfaces with traditional graphite pencils means endless sharpening and uneven tonal transitions. This XL stick eliminates both problems. At 250 grams, it's substantially larger than standard graphite sticks, letting you work across broad areas with consistent pressure and continuous marks. The soft, water-soluble formulation responds beautifully to both dry and wet techniques, lay down bold strokes and leave them crisp, or activate with water to create flowing washes that range from transparent grays to rich darks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade construction ensures uniform density throughout the stick, so you get predictable results whether working with the broad face for sweeping gestures or the edge for defined marks. The substantial size means comfortable grip during extended sessions while providing enough material for multiple large-scale works. Dry application produces velvety graphite that blends smoothly; water transforms it into painterly washes that layer and build like watercolor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for mural studies, large charcoal-style drawings, or mixed media pieces where you need graphite's versatility at a scale that matches your ambition. The stick works directly on paper, canvas, or board without requiring special holders or fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ArtGraf","offers":[{"title":"250 g","offer_id":47974132154597,"sku":"63288","price":32.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s63288.jpg?v=1770303181","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/artgraf-xl-water-soluble-graphite-stick","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
