Seccorell Grating Block
Four Rubbing Surfaces for Clean Colors
The Seccorell Grating Block is the central tool for the Finger smudging technique. With it, the solid color sticks are rubbed into fine Seccorell color powder, which is then transferred to the painting surface with the brush and smudged with the fingers.
A special detail is the four separate rubbing surfaces. Each side can be dedicated to its own color family, helping to keep light, dark, warm and cool shades as cleanly separated as possible. This keeps yellow or light colors clear, while stronger blue, green or brown tones can be rubbed on another surface.
Each Grating Block is carefully handcrafted in Germany. Its sturdy construction makes it a long-lasting companion for school, studio, home and everyone who works with Seccorell regularly.
