Charbonnel Stick Tusche

The Charbonnel Stick Tusche is a dense lithographic ink that has to be diluted with distilled water (available from hardware stores, not rain water as rain picks up impurities as it falls from the clouds!) to draw with. The tusche can then be applied straight onto the plate with a brush or with a dip pen for much finer and striking details. The mixed tusche can be thinned further to produce washes.
