Viarco Artgraf water soluble graphite review | a lovely new watercolor medium to try

Hello artist friends and welcome back to my channel!
Today I'm trying Viarco Artgraf, a product from Portugal, a small tin of water soluble graphite. I have been curious about Artgraf for a long time.
I will also do a little demo sketch to check how it behaves in real life.
Have you tried Artgraf yourself? Have you heard of it before?

    Lovely sketches! I don’t have the tin version, but I have two ArtGraf water soluble pencils. I love them and I really want to try the tin, as well

    Thank you for showing this product and conducting experiments with it. Seeing that it doesn’t lift or erase, I’m left with the impression that I should carry on without buying this product. At least graphite powder can be erased and black watercolour can be lifted to a greater extent than the Artgraf product.

    I have wanted this for so long but like you, have put off buying it because I don't really need it. I know one day I'll definitely give in and get it... it does look so good as a simple sketching tool!

    @@WatercolorElisabetta As a true Scot, I have to admit to hating haggis (shock, horror…!), therefore you have my undying admiration for being so brave! I’m so very pleased you loved Edinburgh as much as I do. My adult daughter has lived there for 17 years since attending University there, and simply never coming home again. I live around a 1 hour drive south, but I am working on moving to Edinburgh myself as soon as accommodation can be found for me. I live alone since being widowed many years ago, but require a fully accessible home as I use an electric wheelchair. My current home is no longer suitable. A wonderful excuse to live in or around Edinburgh though 😉🖌👩‍🎨🎨

    @@anitadavidson1266 Dear Anita, i see very well what you mean! My son left home 3 years ago, when he was 18, for his University that is in the Netherlands! so we see him very little, our nest is empty (although we have filled it with cats and dogs). I doubt he will never come back home, he's doing his Master in European Studies and I believe he will stay in Bruxelles or Strasburg...That's life! I wish you to find your dream home, next to your daughter and fully accessible! I really thank you for your message and for being so friendly. Take care and have a lovely week. Elisabetta X
