Great for use with 

• Chalk
• Charcoal (compressed and Willow)
• Conté crayon
• Graphite
• Pastel

Unveil the artist within you and explore the world of beautiful artistry with just a simple tool. Let your imagination run wild, and your creations be as unique as you!

From free-form sketches to precision-controlled drawings, the paper stump is a trusty tool that aids in creating a seamless blend of lines and shades. 

It isn’t just about blending but the art of skillfully employing this tool to capture the exact effect you desire. The paper stump is more than a simple accessory in your toolkit; it is an unwavering ally in your pursuit of artistic expression. So, next time you gear up to create, don’t underestimate the power of the humble paper stump!

A paper stick is a simple tool that will give you significant effects

Their contribution might not be overly flamboyant, but the subtlety with which they enhance your pieces is genuinely remarkable.

Small, medium, large sticks

Ignite your creative spark with blending paper sticks! Available in various sizes to cater to your intricate needs. Small diameters are perfect for fine details, like shading an eye in a portrait. Stroke your creativity!

Are big blending stumps intimidating? Try not to fret! These tools work on larger areas like facial profiles or shadowy zones. Remember, not the size but how you use it matters. Keep innovating, keep blending, keep practising.  

Discover the power of a paper stump for crafting resting depth in your masterpieces. Blend shadows and tones with a single colour, or be daring and mix two or more! Warm reds and yellows capture breathtaking sunsets, while blues illuminate serene seascapes. Let the experimentation begin!

Are you craving to add depth and contrast to your strokes? Blending stumps are your go-to tool! Perfect for blurring lines, pulling out shadows, and creating depth. Experience the magic of gently softened textures and watch your work come alive! 

And, the cherry on top? These stumps save you time and materials. They extend your mediums across your drawing surface without adding extra, preserving your precious charcoal, lead or pastel. 

What about keeping your paper blending sticks pristine for bold, beautiful colours? To dodge muddy smudges, a simple scrape with a sanding block, scalpel, or sandpaper helps maintain clarity. Essential for all your creative pursuits! 

Keeping your stump sharp is not a chore! Use a stainless-steel sharpener or sanding block for a pencil-sharp point. Consistent sharpening keeps it from feeling dull. Properly cared for, a paper stump serves multiple times. 

Are you curious about the perfect technique to maximize your paper blending sticks? Tilt it! This angle broadens contact with the paper, resulting in enhanced blending. 

The big question why do you blend with a blending paper stick and not your finger?

Have you ever noticed how blending with fingers leaves sketch surfaces oily and less receptive to charcoal or other mediums? That is where paper blending stumps come in! These clever tools keep the drawing surface clean, promoting better adherence to your preferred medium. Plus, cleanup is a breeze! 

Elevate your sketches with extraordinary precision! A sharply pointed stump promises finer detailing, transforming your work magically. 

About 15cm long and compact, paper blending sticks fit snugly in your pencil case or art box. They are a sketching essential you should take notice of!
