    I recommend clairefontain mixed media paint on paper in gris for a good toned paper. It is thicker like card which i do like and the charcoal goes on it very nice and it's smooth. I also use white charcoal on black paper....I recommend you try that....Frisk do a great black card...
    My favoured charcoal pencils are generals.....
    Also, the sand paper thing you said doesn't work well..I use that for cleaning blending stumps....

      Correction: The sandpaper didn't work *for you* That could be for a variety of reasons, so don't state it like it's a universal truth. You could have gotten a shitty brand or chosen the wrong grit.

    Hi Louise! In my Drawing II class, we are using charcoal and I'm really liking it despite the mess. I was wondering if you used charcoal wet?

    Please, have you used the Canson GRADUATE mixed media Grey toned (220gr) paper ? They also make it in "Natural" tone for Red Chalk(Sanguine) use, Their Grey is meant for Charcoal. I can't decide which to order, the Fabriano Clay or the Graduate grey....
