Having received an email today from GOLDEN, who discontinued their Polymer varnish range in 2021, they have now launched its replacement, the Waterborne Varnish (only gloss is available at the moment). So, what happened? |
standard eraserThis style of eraser is most commonly used. The corners, edges and the flat surface can be used wherever you need to erase. Choosing a dust-free option minimises dust drop, and is safer. These erasers do not contain any harmful phthalates (chemical compounds), but contain a mixture of balanced plastics.

Kneadable putty rubberKneaded erasers have great flexibility, allowing you to stretch, compress, split, and mould it into shape to achieve precision. You can create highlights, clean edges and trim lines during the drawing process. You may struggle to remove dark marks, and they can also smear or stick if they get too warm.
|
PENCIL RUBBERThe Perfection Eraser Pencil is an eraser core in a wood-cased barrel. It is ideal for detailed erasing. The white end erases ink. The pink end erases graphite and coloured pencil.

PEN ERASERThe refillable precision eraser Mono Zero Classic erases fine lines and small detailed corrections, where precision is essential. The classic version is available with round and rectangular tips.

Battery powered eraser
soft brushAvoid touching your paper with your hands. The natural oils in your skin can transfer onto the paper, leaving behind smears and dirt that can stain. This may cause the graphite to congregate in patches, which you may struggle to remove. We recommend that you use a soft bristle brush to remove excess graphite or eraser dust from your paper, to avoid any surface contact. A make-up brush is a low-cost option. We recommend that you place a clean sheet of paper or glassine, between hand and drawing to avoid the transfer of oils. |

fixativeIf you work with graphite pencils, we recommend that you fix your drawing once you have finished. It protects from accidental smudging (although it is not smudgeproof) and can add an extra layer of preservation if you buy a fixative with UV protection. It is important to keep some distance between the can and your artwork (around 12"), in order to achieve an even layer. Make sure you shake the can thoroughly, and give it a light, even spray, using deliberate motion of left to right and up to down. Don't over saturate. |
ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS THAT MAY BE USEFUL
white gelly penIf you want to add some really vivid highlights into your drawing, the white Sakura Gelly roll pen is the ideal choice. With 3 nib sizes, it is waterproof, acid free and fade resistant. | ERASING SHIELD/STENCILThe drawing template shield is made of flexible stainless steel. They are very thin and work easily with an eraser. Good for precise and controlled erasing and drawing. |

Somerset black
|
Somerset is a very popular grade of printmaking paper from the historic St. Cuthbert’s Mill in the UK, first introduced in the early 1970’s. In addition to its popularity in printmaking, Somerset found success as a wonderful drawing paper due to its soft handle and supple feel. Made with improved black pigments, Somerset Black has a deep, warm shade combined with a soft velvet surface. The internal structure of the sheet exhibits even darker fibres, which gives dramatic results, especially when laser etched. It is made to archival standards from 100% cotton and is fade resistant to the Blue Wool scale 6+. Mould made from 100% cotton to high archival standards.

UArt Black paper

UART Premium Sanded Pastel Paper accepts a wide variety of wet media for underpainting without compromising or damaging the tooth. The company states that you can add layer upon layer, correcting and creating, without impairing the surface of your artwork. From the toothiest grade (240), which is ideal for blending and layering, to the finer grades that are perfect for delicate and detailed work. You can add layer on top of layer without losing tooth. The abrasive surface eliminates the need for fixatives. The colour of the paper fluctuates depending on which grades you are using: while the 400 & 500 grades provide a rich black texture, the 600 & 800 grades lean towards a dark charcoal colour, as the higher the grade, the smaller the pigments. UART employs a state-of-the-art manufacturing process that ensures a consistent grain application on every inch of the paper.

Which black paper surface do you prefer?
What is your favourite black paper not on this list and what medium do you use with it?
Any hints and tips for artists using black paper with a particular medium?
Please share your thoughts and ideas in the comments below, so we can help inspire other artists.
1. SpongesWhen mixing soft pastels, sponges are the go-to tool for most artists. These are available in various shapes and sizes and can be easily found in art supply stores or even health and beauty stores that sell make-up sponges. How to Apply: To achieve a smooth blend, apply 2-3 shades of pastel to the paper and blend with circular movements. When working with small areas, use the wedge or tip of the sponge. Good: Washable, providing longevity Bad: May tear when used on highly abrasive paper |
2. Blending stumps/ TortillionsBlending stumps and tortillions are tools of tightly packed paper rolled into a pencil shape. These tools have fine tips that allow for blending in small areas and the ability to push pastel around to create or smooth out thin lines. How to apply: To achieve a smooth blend, apply circular motions with the tip or side of the stump. Use excess pastel on the tip to introduce extra pigment to another area of your paper. Good: Low cost, can be 'sharpened' to remove the dirt Bad: Quickly dirtied, Short life span, easily ripped and torn |
3. Pan Pastel Softt toolsOur Sofft tools are crafted from a unique micropore sponge formula, with each tool featuring a distinct shape and size that makes it perfect for blending and applying your pastels. You can easily replace the sponges, which are reusable and simple to clean. How to apply: Rub the sponge across the pastel and apply it to your paper. Afterwards, you can blend the pastel as desired. Good: Re-usable. Economical. Easy to clean. Bad: You will need to clean or change your sponge when moving between dark to light grades, to avoid muddying your colours. |
4. Colour shapersSilicone-made Colour Shapers are versatile tools for blending pastels and other mediums. The tips avoid absorbing material, which is perfect for applying, removing, scraping, and moving colours. Made of durable rubber composite, they help create texture and blend pastels seamlessly. The blue and ivory-coloured tips are soft and suitable for soft pastels. The darker coloured tips are firmer. These are useful for clay and other mediums. How to apply: Before selecting your preferred tool, ensure you have enough pigment on your paper. Then, delicately blend the pigments for optimal results. Good: Long life, easy to clean. Easy to hold Bad: May not be ideal on highly abrasive paper |
5. Pastel applicatorsSponge wands like these help blend small areas of pastel. You may find packs made explicitly for this technique called 'Sofft Mini sponge applicators' from the Pan Pastel company. However, general art stores may sell them too. You can purchase a pack of eyeshadow wands as an inexpensive replacement from your local health and beauty store. However, the sponge will likely be of different quality and may tear easily, but it may be worth a try. How to Apply: Add 2-3 shades of pastel to the paper prior to mixing. To ensure a smooth coverage, mix using circular motions. Good: Economical. Precise application. Bad: May be hard to hold, especially for those who have issues with their hands. Only suitable for blending small areas. |
6. Colourless blenderThe PanPastel Colourless Blender is a versatile medium that can achieve different effects. It can help increase transparency and improve the flow of colour without altering the pigments' original hues. With this medium, you can create a more transparent mix or soften the application's flow. How to apply: This product can be used before applying colour, as a base layer, or mixed with the pigment after application. Good: Easy to mix, non-crumbly. Low dust and less waste. Bad: To be updated |
7. BrushesFor a more precise and soft edge, using a short flat brush to blend your pastels is recommended. This type of brush is sturdier, offering more control. It's important to select the appropriate brush size for each area and to clean off any excess pastel after use to prevent colours from mixing and becoming muddy. How to apply: Gently brush your pastels outwards to soften or in a rotational direction to soften hard lines after applying your layers. Good: Firm application. Targeted application. Bad: Abrasive paper may break the hair in the brush. |
8. FingersIf you're a pastel artist, you may have used your fingers to blend your pastels. While this is a convenient way to blend larger areas, it can be messy and may mix your colours if you don't clean your fingers between colours. To avoid this, use a damp cloth to remove pastels from your fingers and dry them with a towel before mixing the following colours. How to apply: Blend in circular motions with clean fingers to fill in the peaks of the paper and create a smooth layer. Good: Cost-free, quick and easy Bad: Messy applications. Abrasive paper can damage your skin. |
9. Cotton buds or Q-tipsArtists can make use of cotton buds, which are an affordable option. They can blend small areas of pastel drawings and be conveniently disposed of once used. How to apply: To achieve smooth coverage, use circular motions when blending over layers of pigment. Good: Low cost and economical. Bad: When you're searching for Q-tips, consider looking for eco-friendly options instead of plastic ones. Remember that cotton tips might not be the best choice for every project, as they can get stuck on abrasive paper. |
10. Pastel on pastelBlending pastels is possible without a unique tool by layering one colour over another. This technique works well with soft and hard pastels, but the final effect will depend on the type of paper or surface used. Smooth surfaces may not blend as well as abrasive ones. How to apply: Apply each colour on top of the other and push the pastels into the paper's peaks. Lighter applications will enable you to add more layers. Good: No extra tools are needed. Bad: May not create an even blend of colour. |

Great on its own for drawing really moody pictures or use it with other graphite media like Graphic or Sketching pencils to add dense shade and tone.
We have created two tones, medium and dark, but it is easy to build up darker shades if you need them by increasing the pressure. The wide strip can be easily sharpened and will hold a fine point, perfect for capturing the detail in drawings!
Taken from the Derwent website - www.pencils.co.uk
These Onyx pencils were created by Derwent to add darker shades to their graphite pencil ranges. You don't need the full range of graphite pencils to create effective art, and this set, comprising only of a Medium & Dark grade would be ideal for those on the go, who like to sketch out in the field or those who prefer the minimal amount of art supplies (I'm sure there's some artist out there like that!?) In this article, we explore the possibilities of these pencils and their characteristics. |
Derwent Graphic v's Derwent Onyx tonal chart
As you can purchase these pencils for under £2.00 each, we decided to buy them and try them out ourselves.
We created a chart below, comparing the grades of the Derwent graphic range and the Derwent Onyx pencils. We include it here so you can see the difference for yourself. We applied the pencils as heavily as possible to ensure the darkest tones were replicated.
Our findings
Personally, we do not feel that the Dark grade is darker than the Graphic 9B, but what do you think?
What are your personal experiences with these pencils?
Do you use them exclusively or in conjunction with other brands?
Do you find them useful?

As an artist who works from home I am always looking out for art products that will make my life easier in some way. Recently I came across an LED Task Light from a company called Lumi. Below is my personal review of this product which might help you to decide whether it’s something that could work for you too.
I received an email from the online art store Cassart, notifying me they had a sale on their daylight lamps, an ideal time to replace my old one and get a brand new one for a good price. After much deliberation, I chose the Lumi LED task lamp. It looked sleek and with a 20" wide head and I knew it would provide more light than my previous model.
Here, I offer my thoughts on this product.
|
|
My personal rating: 8/10
For anyone interested, here is my old light - now a discontinued model.My previous studio light also from the Daylight Company, was the D33200 model which was released in 2008. It had a heavy duty, flexible gooseneck arm with a metal clamp which attached safely to an easel or flat surface. The circular light could rotate 360° allowing you to direct the light in the area needed most. Previous to the LED light system of today, the daylight lamps in this range used low energy daylight bulbs which you could replace. I bought my D33200 light in 2010 and the 18w bulb (D13621) lasted almost as long as the light. An 18w bulb was the equivalent to an 100w bulb. Having used it for 12 hours a day, 5 days a week on average, the bulb provided up to 30,000 hours of usage. To access the bulb, you had to remove the four chunky screws from the plastic cover and then slide off. |

**NEW** COLOURFIX™ OPTIMUM BOARD
ORIGINAL (MEDIUM) TEXTURE
Unlike the Pastelmat surface, who has their own version which includes the foamcore (and was the first to offer this type of surface I believe?), the Colourfix surface also includes a thin layer of aluminium to prevent warping.
Art Spectrum® Colourfix™ Optimum Board is a high density archival and acid free foamcore board, hand screen printed with Art Spectrum® Colourfix™ Primer..
The secret that separates this board from all others is a super thin layer of Aluminum within the board that prevents warping and helps provide this substrate’s lightweight and sturdy characteristics.
Colourfix™ Optimum Board has a robust toothy surface that will hold layers of pastel without the need for fixative, allowing the velvet bloom and vibrant colour of pastel to be preserved.
The new Art Spectrum® Colourfix™ Optimum Board comes in 6 lightfast colours all with the Original Colourfix™ tooth. It is a superb substrate for pastels, oil colours, acrylics, inks, oil pastels, gouache, watercolours, and dry media such as charcoal and pencils.
Colourfix™ Optimum Board is available in 16 x 20” and ready to be framed without the need for a backing board.
What else you should know about this board:
The substrate board is acid free containing no lignin’s.
The glue used in this product is also acid free.
Aluminum thickness: 6.3μm
Colours available: White, Soft Umber, Terracotta, Rose Grey, Blue Haze and Deep Black.
Also available Rainbow Pack which includes one sheet of each colour
