TEST REPORT
No other charcoal holder can top the quality of the Nitram Stylus. Made from medical grade stainless steel and high-grade polycarbonate, it holds your charcoal sticks firmly and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, or between your fingers.
The Nitram Stylus comes with different coloured end caps that fit snugly in place once the colour-graded Nitram Charcoal sticks are inserted. This is a great feature as in the excitement of the creative process it would be easy to forget which charcoal is in the Nitram Stylus – the coloured end cap serves as a reminder. Changing between the different grades of charcoal is easily done by loosening the collar and removing the charcoal from the clamp. With this method there is very little chance of breaking the charcoal stick when you remove it.

About The Artist
Let this month's issue of The Artist inspire and guide your next steps in drawing and painting a range of figurative subject matter in all media. From realistic still lifes in acrylics, watercolour landscape challenges suggested by Amanda Hyatt, David Parfitt and Paul Talbot-Greaves, through to portraits in oils and mixed media, our fantastic team of practising artist-contributors aim to help you develop your knowledge and skills based on their own experiences as professional artists and tutors. Check out the list of contents for more details of all the great articles in this issue, and look out for our latest sketching competition to enter on page 66, plus win £500 worth of gift vouchers to spend on art materials with Great Art in our PaintersOnline competition on page 6. See also pages 12 to 13 for the latest news on the Patchings Art, Craft & Design Festival (July 12-15). We will be celebrating the opening of our annual The Artist open exhibition there on July 12. We look forward to meeting our successful selected artists and visitors to the festival.
