Wooden charcoal pencil set Milan 3 pcs — white charcoal, model 572442

The Milan Wooden charcoal pencil set 3 pcs — white charcoal, model 572442 contains three white charcoal pencils designed for creating opaque highlights, accents and tonal transitions on toned or dark paper. These wooden-sheathed white charcoal pencils produce bright, high-contrast marks that blend smoothly with charcoal, pastel and mixed-media layers. The compact set is intended for drawing, sketching, illustration and academic exercises where precise light values and soft gradations are required.

Advantages

White charcoal in a wooden pencil offers controlled application, allowing for both fine lines and soft shading. The pigment provides strong opacity on mid-toned and dark surfaces, improving visibility of highlights and detailed accents. Wood casing facilitates sharpening to a fine point and a familiar pencil feel for artists who prefer traditional tools over sticks or compressed charcoal. The set of three ensures continuity during longer sessions and offers spare pencils for consistent tone and texture.

Suitable for

• Highlighting and adding light values on toned or dark paper

• Mixed-media work combining charcoal, pastel and graphite
• Illustration and detail work where controlled white accents are needed

How to use

Sharpen the wooden casing with a pencil sharpener designed for soft cores or carefully use a blade to expose the white charcoal. Apply strokes varying pressure to produce fine highlights or broader soft tones. For subtle blends, work with fingers, a paper stump or a soft brush to soften transitions. Combine with darker charcoal or pastel layers by adding white accents at the end of the process to maintain brightness and prevent smudging.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils horizontally in a dry place and use a soft sharpener to avoid core breakage. Test on a scrap of the chosen paper to determine pressure and blending technique before working on the final piece.
