Speedball Coates Willow Charcoal Assorted 30 Pieces

Perfect.I have recently rediscovered the joys (and mess) of charcoal and these sticks are perfect.I am quite an experienced artist, this charcoal is useful for pretty much any ability and cheap enough for any budding artist to experiment with.Definitely recommend.Thanks for reading, I hope you find this review helpful.

On first look I thought these were great... Only downfall is they don't create a jet black colour... But very good for outlines of a piece

The charcoal sticks are mixed as described and are certainly suitable for my daughters artwork. The only downside is the packaging which needs to be improved. A couple of sticks were broken when posted through my letterbox which has to be considered. The product itself is value for money even with the odd break. Plenty of assortment to choose from.

Great value for money. My son does GCSE art and he loves that they come in various thicknesses: very thin, medium and thick, which makes it easier for him to add depth and detail.

Nice that there were two sizes included. I bought these to top up my charcoal tin which after six years was getting quite low. I di charcoal portraits from time to time.
