Review: Artgraf Watercolor Graphite 

I just got some Derwent water soluble graphite pencils and now I need a little tin of this art graf. Thanks for a great tutorial.

Just bought this graphite today. Can't wait to try it out

Interesting product. I actually like the granulating texture you've got on the last draw. Thanks for the review :)

What a nice demonstration, I just found this graphite, so I’m going to give it a go, looks like fun

Thanks very much! I just bought some but wasn't quite sure what to do with it, so this helped!

holy cow! that gets really dark right off the bat. I want to try this product :D Thanks for your awesome videos!

I love the little tin of Artgraf. I use the lid to take off some water/pigment.

Tyvm for the analysis. Greetings from Southern California. Keep up the good work.

Nice review! Nice work! Thank you!

EXTRAORDINARY SKETCHES

Excellent demonstrations. I only just discovered this medium a few minutes ago. It's very appealing for me. Thanks. :-)

Very useful review! Thanks 👍

thank you for the demo

Wow. Thank you for introducing this medium with us today. Thanks also for all your reviews on Amazon.com. They are incredibly helpful. I cannot wait to purchase my own tin of ARTGRAF water soluble graphite soon!! It looks like you had so much fun with it. Your love and passion for art truly shows and shines when you talk about your artwork, your materials, and give out tips and techniques. Thank you for emphasizing tricky points and good ideas when you teach. I will definitely look into purchasing some spray fixative soon!

I’ve been revisiting all of your reviews on Artgraf products again. I’m still debating this purchase. I have a set of thick water soluble graphite sticks. I’m looking for something portable to use for quick value studies. Thank you Teoh!😊

Thank you so much for this comprehensive review. I had a gift voucher for my favourite art store and, on a whim, I chose ArtGraf (as well as a Kolinsky sable travel brush ☺️). I’m just starting to play now... it’s beautiful. Can you tell me if it’s compatible with watercolour? And if so, are there any special tips/techniques to ensure you achieve the desired outcome? Cheers and thanks 🙏

Looks like some great stuff. I got a watercolour graphite stick here I like to use but it`s colour isn`t so intense.

Can u make a review of Xl graphite from derwin

Hi Theo, I have been rewatching this video and all the graphite-related ones recently because I am trying to get used doing value studies. I really enjoyed them and always appreciate so much the effort and great explainations you put in you demos and reviews 😊 have you tried by any chance the Derwent XL Graphite blocks that came out recently? The new ones, natural (not the colored ones) version of graphite compressed chunky big blocks. I got the tin of 6. I find them hard to use as a water-soluble medium though. Very uneven textures, I can't achieve a smooth wash, and they will smudge a lot after dry. It doesn't really stay put on paper and it takes only a careless light touch of your hand on a portion of your work to move the dried graphite. I really hope you will get a chance to do a review on this product... Hopefully you could show a way to use them, better than I tried to figure it out so far!

The packaging said it is erasable but I haven't been able to have any success with erasing the marks after it is dry. Is there a certain eraser or method to use?

Hi. That looks like a fun medium :) To my surprise, I have found our local (South Korean) online shop has the Artgrah watercolor graphite and just ordered it. Have you tried to mix it with regular watercolor to have some colored tint? How is it compared to your sepia liquid pencil you did in other video on monochrome drawing? Thanks.

I can't tell if it forms a stable surface to be reworked upon cleanly in another medium or transported without smudging...

I saw 6:38 and was like, "holy sh*t, what a drawing!"

I want to try this product; you make it look very doable. Do you have Amazon links for it? I think there are some links for other things. It would make it quick to just hit the link to purchase. Thank you for sharing, I appreciate hearing your impressions while you work. be well. bye now

Why is it better than carrying around a block of watercolor??? Thank you for a great presentation!

How would you say this product differs from a graphite watercolor paint?

Have you tried the stick or even the large 250 g one ? I have trouble making dark tones with watercolour graphite but I really enjoy it.

I ordered the graphite and it arrived all broken up. Will adding water to it fix it?

Is it possible to use this graphite without water, like a pan pastel? If yes does it erase well?

eh, I use fixative over everything anyways :D Always scared to think what could happen to a watercolour painting if it got wet or stored in a humid area. plus the expensive schmincke stuff helps with my fading phobia.

CAN YOU MIX IT WITH WC, TO GET DIFFERENT TONING?.

can add colour to give photo effect

Does this ruin good, expensive sable brushes at all, or should I have a special brush? Great video! I just bought some

When dry on paper and you rub tissue over it, does any graphite come off have you noticed?

After using artgraf, before using fixative, can you add watercolor?

Is this easy to erase? Can you work back into the medium?

but how do you get the lid off!? I love this stuff but the lid is SO hard to get off once there's even the tiniest bit of build up

Meaning .. You can't re-wet after it dries?

I was hoping you were going to show how it erased with various erasers….
