Coates Willow Charcoal Assorted 30 Pieces

Brilliant, just as you would expect them to be. I like the different diameters and the fact that you can smudge it. Decent price, value for money. Happy.

Good quality product

Charcoal works as expected, great for loose painterly sketching. Happy to support a uk-based company

I enjoy drawing with charcoal as it encourages expressive mark making and is easily altered as the drawing proceeds. There are expensive alternatives, but Coates charcoal is as good as any. It comes in a variety of thicknesses and can be combined with charcoal pencil or compressed charcoal when really dark marks are required.

The charcoal sticks are mixed as described and are certainly suitable for my daughters artwork. The only downside is the packaging which needs to be improved. A couple of sticks were broken when posted through my letterbox which has to be considered. The product itself is value for money even with the odd break. Plenty of assortment to choose from.

A good variety of thicknesses for all sketching purposes. I bought these for an art class having not used charcoal for over 60 years. It's good quality, not too messy, and this pack will go a long way.

I love these charcoals and use them frequently for drawing, yes they are quite short but it does state that they are 'short length' in the product title. For reference they are around 3" in height and have varying diameters which is good for variation whilst drawing. Packaging was good and delivery was very fast - couldn't be happier!

I bought these a couple of days ago and I was pleasantly surprised with them. I got them the next day and they were in perfect condition, with none of the pieces broken like I had expected. The assortment is great, giving them even more possible uses. Will definitely buy again when I need more and are great quality for such a low price!

Love the way it applies. No scratchiness.

I like that this package has many sizes to choose from. I’m new at this so it’s great to explore your options before finding what you prefer best. As far as the quality, I can’t really compare it to others as this is true first time I’ve used charcoal. But still it’s quite strong, and depending on the paper, blends well. I’ve enjoyed it and will be buying again as I’m getting into the different sizes more.

Bonne sélection d'épaisseurs, excellente qualité. Le paquet contient 2 paquets de demi-bâtonnets assez courts mais je ne dessine pas si souvent. Donc je suis satisfaite.

Alright, I've seen a number of frustrated customers review this product. To be fair this is an assortment of varying thickness charcoal. Some of them are pretty thin and may not meet your needs. Also they are half stick length. I purchased these to sample so this turned out ok for me. How do they perform? Quite pleasant actually. Humorously thin sticks aside(which still serve a purpose) they are delightfully soft and responsive, and dare I say buttery for charcoal. No hard or scratchy spots. These are honestly the best willow charcoal I've worked with. Even the thin ones do nicelywhen used for detail work. I'll be certain to buy more although I'll be looking for certain size assortments.

Hele kleine stukken houtskool Heel dun en kwam gebroken aan daardoor Niet aan te raden.. duur product voor wat je krijgt
