English term or phrase: scene painters’ charcoal
Charcoal is one of the oldest drawing media and remains popular with artists to this day. It is made from twigs of willow and created by a slow burning process which reduces the wood to carbon. It is available in varying thicknesses, ranging from the very thick scene painters’ charcoal to medium and thin sticks used for more detailed drawings. It is commonly used for drawing under painting as it is easily over-painted without discolouring the overlaid paint. Charcoal drawings can be edited very easily by means of a brush, putty rubber, or even soft doughy bread.

neutral  Luciana Adelseck: Oi Claudio, não concordo com o termo gravura, não aparece no texto e é um outro tipo de técnica. Me pareceu pelo contexto que se trata de vários tipos de carvão e espessuras para fazer o esboço, na tela, esfumar,etc e pintar por cima que é mais comum

carvão de ponta grossa para pintores de cenas


Explanation:
a tradução fica melhor se tomar em conta as outras palabras "very thick"

pintores não so pintan paisagems por isso minha traduçáo de pintores de cenas. Meu hobby é arte digital e tradicional e fala-se de ponta grossa, etc. etc.
