Graphite Gray (PBk10) Gris Graphite

Exploration of this colour reveals some surprising pigment properties beyond its apparent opacity. First, Graphite Gray disperses well and quickly in water, so floating the dense pigment onto the water or into a wet wash offers an interesting handling method. A dry brushstroke, quickly followed by a wet brushstroke, spreads some of the pigment, leaving the texture of the dry brush.

Aged and weathered wood, fence posts, and old buildings are great candidates for this pigment and approach. Try this: overpaint a value sketch with a light glaze. As graphite pencil is entirely acceptable in watercolour, a synthetic graphite pigment, namely Graphite Gray, seems surprisingly natural.
