🖤 Go bold. Cover more. Create without limits.
When your artwork calls for sweeping gestures, dramatic values, and expressive mark-making, Nitram® Charcoal Bâtons Épais are ready to deliver. These premium extra-soft charcoal sticks combine luxurious softness with remarkable durability, giving artists the freedom to work confidently on everything from large-format drawings to expressive figure studies.
Unlike traditional willow or vine charcoal, Nitram® uses an exclusive manufacturing process that preserves the wood's natural cell structure. This innovative approach creates charcoal that is noticeably stronger, less brittle, and more resistant to crumbling while maintaining the smooth, velvety feel artists love. The result is effortless application, rich blacks, beautiful tonal transitions, and crisp highlights that erase cleanly with ease.
With their generous 12 mm diameter, Bâtons Épais are the largest round charcoal sticks in Nitram's acclaimed Beaux Arts collection. They excel at laying in broad areas of tone, covering large drawing surfaces quickly, and producing bold expressive strokes. And when precision is needed, each baton can be sharpened to a surprisingly fine point using a sanding block.
