The world's finest charcoal for drawing!

Nitram has been manufactured with high-quality drawing products for over 50 years. Nitram produces its charcoal using a unique process that maintains the wood’s cell structure which increases the charcoal's durability and helps prevent breakage. Nitram has a special binder that gives rich black tones with minimal dust. Nitram charcoal does not break like willow or vine do and feels much less brittle. The sticks are also formed, which offers consistent control and precision.

Because of its solid strength, charcoal produces less dust when working expressively. The charcoal allows for deep dark shades while being easily erased for luminous light effects.

The Bâton de Saule is extra soft, ideal for artists working expressively or large. If you are working on a piece that requires extra deep black, then the Bâton de Saule is blacker than the Nitram B.
