Dry mediums Discovery set - Faber-Castell - 17 pcs.

The Discovery Dry Mediums Set by Faber-Castell is a comprehensive collection designed for traditional monochromatic drawing in shades of black, white, sanguine, and sepia – the timeless essentials that have been the foundation of art education for centuries.

These classic tones bring life, depth, and expressiveness to sketches. The technique of highlighting with white and deepening shadows with black has its roots in Renaissance figurative drawing.

The set includes 3 Polychromos pencils, 3 Pitt Pastel pencils, 2 Castell 9000 graphite pencils (2H, 3B), Pitt Graphite Matt (HB), Pitt Charcoal, a Pitt Artist Pen fineliner (black S), a blending stump, a kneadable eraser in an Art Eraser case, a Dust Free eraser, a Perfection 7058 eraser pencil, and a metal sharpener. Pitt Monochrome pencils are inspired by classical drawing traditions — they are harder than regular pastels, so the lines retain their shape even when smudged and do not disappear completely. The warm tones of sanguine and sepia are complemented by both oil-based and oil-free pencils, perfect for adding fine details and precise outlines.

This set is ideal for academic drawing, figure studies, chiaroscuro practice, and illustration. It allows artists to explore classical techniques and refine their artistic skills, making it a valuable addition to any studio.
