Podolsk Drawing Sauces

Podolsk drawing sauces (or crayons, as some artists in North America call this product) are very unique and not easy to find in North America. Even though original name is ‘Sauce’ these are solid crayons, not a liquid matter.

Podolsk drawing sauces description

Made of natural pigment and clay, Podolsk sauces are very soft and produce almost no dust. Drawing sauces provide perfect soft blending, have natural colours and smooth texture. Due to their unique texture fixative is not required when a picture is finished.

Please use extra care handling this product: due to their soft texture crayons are very fragile.

Perfect choice for graphic arts, especially for life drawings and portraits.

How to use drawing sauces/crayons?

1. Dry technique: use the chalks as if they are extra-extra soft charcoal or pastel. Blend, smudge, create bold and sharp lines – everything you like. due to their extra-soft nature, these crayons go between fibre of a paper used and that’s how colours look more intense and fixative is not necessary. We suggest place smooth tracing paper between the pages to prevent undesired smudging.
2. Wet technique: draw, shade, blend or smudge – everything you want. Then you can use a paint brush and water to achieve painting effects. Of course, such technique requires proper watercolour or mixed media paper.
