The Nitram Baton Deluxe Charcoal Holder is a unique charcoal drawing device that uses the Nitram Mignonette 4mm square profile charcoal sticks. Five Mignonette sticks are included in the set.
This deluxe charcoal holder creates a unique drawing experience. The device uses Nitram’s Mignonette charcoal - extra soft charcoal that creates rich, dark blacks. These sticks can easily be replaced and have a velvety, smooth texture that lends itself well to the gestural strokes used in life drawing.
The Nitram Baton Deluxe Charcoal Holder is approximately 224mm long and is presented in a matt black card box with a slide out tray. It will hold refills up to 6mm in diameter.
Replacement packs of Nitram Mignonette Charcoal Baton Refills 7 x 4mm are available separately.
I find its larger design excellent for keeping the side of the hands and wrist away from smudging
