Pencil-sharpener

A simple graphite pencil, chosen in 2B for its softness and tenderness. Don't forget to bring an eraser and a pencil sharpener!

This sketchpad is middle weight (120-160 g/m2), which works fine with drawing, but also with watercolor drawing (drawing + a few touches of watercolor). Its hardback makes it convenient when working outdoors. For watercolor drawing, it is not necessary to use watercolor paper, that is more expensive, rather thick, and whose texture can prevent the nib or drawing pen from running smoothly.

These pencils can be used with water, for a watercolor effect. They can also be used as a complement to watercolor, to add graphic touches or details.

To use or not to use in one's drawings... But it is sometimes useful to have one at hand!
