Euro Blend™ Charcoal pencils can also be used for quick layouts in oil painting.

All Euro Blend™ Charcoal pencils are made in the USA using the highest-quality sustained-yield cedar to ensure smooth sharpening and strength.

Available in HB, B, 3B, and Bianco (White) by the dozen and an assorted blistercard with eraser and sharpener.

Primo® ELITE™ Grande is a hex shaped, thick core ultra black pencil. Handcrafted with rich, organic blacks to achieve intense linear markings and tonal values.

General Pencil Company's art and craft pencils come to you from our factory in Jersey City, New Jersey. We believe in quality, tradition, value, and the fun of creating. We take pride in handcrafting quality pencils and artist materials using traditional methods passed down for six generations. Our history dates back to 1860.when Edward Weissenborn began the first pencil factory in the USA. In 1889, Edward and his son, Oscar A., began what is now General Pencil Company. Still family owned and operated, our goal is to create consistent, quality products in a sustainable manner for artists of all levels.
