    "I drew this portrait from life with Nitram Charcoal in three sessions. It was completed as part of my training at the Academy of Figurative Arts. Nitram Charcoal enables me to create artworks of excellent finish and quality. Its remarkable versatility and various hardnesses allows me to achieve precise results in capturing the finer details, enhancing mid-tones and maintaining compressed shadows."

  • César Sánchez

    César Sánchez is a talented artist known for creating stunning charcoal drawings using Nitram Charcoal. After starting his academic training at the Academy of Realist Art Toronto, he fell in love with Nitram Charcoal and has been using it ever since. Sánchez prefers to start his drawings on a textured surface, as this allows him to provide different finishes and generate more interest for the viewer. To achieve this, he uses the Nitram Académie Fusains B, HB and H, which are hard and resistant when a fine point is needed for working on the smallest details, yet soft enough to cover larger surfaces with ease.
