Viarco ArtGraf
ArtGraf is a tablet of watersoluble graphite in a tin. While there are a few watersoluble graphite pencils and crayons on the market, this is the first larger format offering aimed at brush users that I’m aware of.
Viarco, a small Portuguese pencil company that we’ve mentioned once before, introduced ArtGraf last year.
The product extends watersoluble graphite possibilities, and truly allows painting in graphite. A wet brush is applied to the tablet. Varying the brush wetness and tablet contact result in varying graphite densities.
I truly think this is a great product. Further reading: Official product page (in Portuguese) 7 comments to Viarco ArtGraf |

Looks very interesting indeed.
Hmm that’s different
That is really cool. I’m very tempted, and I haven’t held a brush in years.
Hey, where can I get that? You’d be surprised how seldom I get to Portugal.
Hi George. Same here. :-)
Viarco does sell and ship internationally (and quite efficiently too), but for a single item, it would probably be easier to see if a local art supply store can order it for you.
When was your company established?
“Your company”?
Viarco dates from 1914, with interruptions. They have many details on their website.
