To the point!

A few of my pure graphite sticks, with a sneak peek of a pencil 😊

I love 'painting' with just carbon ... from pure carbon (charcoal) through pure graphite to pencils, which are softer as the graphite is mixed with some clay. You can get tones from the lightest bright dusting, to the pure light-absorbing charcoal ...more subtle than anything I can get with a camera!

This shot fills the whole 3" width.

 

For the Macro Monday challenge "carbon"

 

HMM! 😊
