... to high value drawings. It allows to make sketches, studies, portraits and nudes with warm and soft tones.

Characteristics: The blood has a soft texture and glides easily on the surface of the paper or support. It makes it possible to make delicate strokes and subtle blurs, creating effects of shape and volume.

Supports: The blood can be used on various supports, including paper, cardboard, canvas and even prepared canvas. It is often used in combination with other mediums such as charcoal, pencil or graphite to obtain a wider range of values and textures.

Fixation: As the blood has a softer texture than the graphite pencil, it tends to smudger or transfer more easily. To preserve the drawing, it is recommended to use a fixative to fix it and avoid burrs.

Durability: Although the blood is relatively stable, it may be subject to slight discoloration over time. To preserve blood drawings, it is recommended to frame them with materials and lenses that protect against UV rays.
