Master the Art of Deep Black
For artists who demand the most intense, velvety blacks, the Cretacolor Nero Deep Black Set is the ultimate toolkit. This specialized 10-piece collection is built around the unique Nero formula—a blend of oil and carbon that produces exceptionally rich, deep black marks. Combining water-resistant pencils and sticks with a water-soluble Aqua Monolith, this set offers incredible versatility for dramatic drawing and mixed media.
Why You'll Love the Nero Deep Black Set:
- EXCEPTIONALLY INTENSE BLACKS: The Nero formula delivers a level of rich, deep black that is far more intense and velvety than traditional charcoal, ensuring your work has maximum impact.
- WATER-RESISTANT & SMUDGE-PROOF: Create clean, permanent linework that won’t smudge. The oil-based Nero pencils and sticks are perfect for underdrawings or layering with wet media like watercolour or ink.
- MIXED MEDIA VERSATILITY: This set uniquely includes both permanent, oil-based tools and a water-soluble Aqua Monolith pencil, allowing you to create sharp lines and soft washes in the same piece.
- A COMPLETE TOOLKIT: Ready to use right out of the tin, this set includes a full range of Nero pencils, two different sized drawing sticks, and essential accessories like a kneadable eraser and paper stump.
What's Inside the Tin:
- 5 Nero Carbon Pencils: A full hardness range for complete control (Extra Soft, Soft, Medium, Hard, Extra Hard).
- 1 Nero Stick (7x14mm, Soft): For covering large areas with deep black.
- 1 Nero Stick (7x7mm, Soft): A versatile stick for varied mark-making.
- 1 Aqua Monolith Pencil (Ivory Black): A woodless, water-soluble pencil for creating washes and painterly effects.
- 1 Kneadable Eraser: For lifting pigment and creating highlights.
- 1 Paper Stump (Wiper): For professional blending and smudging.
