About this material
Kitpas Medium is a stick-shaped drawing material made by Nihon Rikagaku Industry. The main ingredient is rice wax, taken from rice bran, and each stick has a paper wrap. On drawing paper it feels soft. It also draws on smooth surfaces such as window glass and mirrors, and on those surfaces it wipes off with a damp cloth.
Sets come in 6, 12, 16, and 24 colors. Single sticks are sold through the official online store.
If you trace over the color with a wet brush, it dissolves, and you can spread and mix it like paint. On paper, it does not wipe off with water.
