Paper Wiper

The Faber-Castell Paper Wiper, also known as the Estompe, is a versatile tool designed for artists working with dry media.

Uses

This paper wiper is primarily used for:

  • Blending: Smoothly blending and shading areas when working with pastel pencils, crayons, graphite, charcoal, chalk, and colored pencils.Correcting: Wiping or correcting strokes to refine artwork details.

  • Smudging: Creating soft transitions and gradients in drawings.

Its precision allows for more controlled blending compared to using fingers, resulting in cleaner and more accurate artwork. 

Material

The Estompe is made from tightly rolled paper, forming a firm yet flexible cylindrical tool. This construction enables it to effectively manipulate dry media without damaging the paper surface. 

Maintenance

To maintain its effectiveness, the paper wiper can be cleaned by gently rubbing it against a sandpaper block or using a kneaded eraser. This removes accumulated pigment and restores its blending capabilities. 

In summary, the Faber-Castell Paper Wiper is an essential tool for artists seeking precision in blending and correcting their dry media artworks.
