PETITS BÂTONS (6MM)

NITRAM CHARCOAL PETITS BÂTONS (6MM) – 5 PACK

The Nitram Charcoal Petits Bâtons (6mm) are premium extra-soft artist charcoal sticks designed for exceptional precision, smooth application, and remarkable durability. Measuring approximately 6 inches (152mm) in length, these professional-quality round batons are part of Nitram's renowned Beaux Arts series and are trusted by artists, classical ateliers, and fine art academies worldwide.

Unlike traditional willow or vine charcoal, Nitram utilizes an exclusive manufacturing process that preserves the wood's natural cell structure. This innovative process creates charcoal that is significantly stronger, less brittle, and more resistant to crumbling while maintaining the luxuriously soft feel artists expect. The result is a charcoal stick that glides effortlessly across paper, produces deep velvety blacks, develops subtle mid-tones, and erases cleanly for brilliant highlights and refined tonal transitions. 

At just 6mm in diameter, the Petits Bâtons are the smallest round batons in Nitram's Beaux Arts lineup, making them ideal for controlled mark-making, fine details, expressive figure drawing, and delicate tonal studies. Despite their extra-soft formulation, each baton can be sharpened to an exceptionally fine point with a sanding block for precise line work and intricate rendering.
