About Drawing & writing

Are your drawing products gluten free?

If a product is gluten free, it is stated in the information on the back. This is due to enquiries from the market and the NCV as to whether our products contain (traces of) gluten, as children tend to put the products in their mouths. Gluten free is relevant to people who are gluten intolerant and therefore have celiac disease. This is an autoimmune disease that is triggered by the ingestion of gluten (the protein found in wheat, rye and barley). Our products are also listed on the Celiac Disease Foundation website.

What is the difference between a pigment and a dyestuff?

Dyestuff is not lightfast. Pigment, however, is lightfast. A drawing created with products that contain dyestuff is therefore best kept in a folder or sketchbook. If your drawing is exposed to sunlight, the colours can actually fade. This is less likely to happen with products that contain pigment.

What is a white tortillon (blender) and what can you do with it?

A tortillon is made of very tightly rolled paper and is used, among other things, to soften graphite, pastel pencil and charcoal lines and to apply shading. You can sharpen the tip of the tortillon using a piece of fine sandpaper.
