Prismacolor (formerly Design) Kneaded Eraser Discount

Made in China

A kneaded eraser is one of the most important tools for any artist.  It sits at the gentlest end of the eraser spectrum, being soft and non-abrasive.  This eraser works more by lifting graphite away from the page.  (If you ever pressed Silly Putty to a newspaper and found a backwards copy of the print on the putty – this eraser works the same way).  

Specifically in watercolors we find this eraser particularly useful.  After you have made a pencil sketch and are preparing to add color, you can lighten the sketch and remove any extra graphite dust – this will prevent light colors and washes from taking on a grey or cloudy appearance.  Just roll the kneaded eraser between your hands into a thick worm , then roll it back and forth over your drawing and watch it lighten! An essential.

Some artists prefer the Prismacolor, formerly known as Design Kneaded Eraser, above all others.
