Leading professional colored pencil artists Jenny Hill and Karen Coulson focus on drawing wildlife subjects in these tutorials that include 10 Derwent Pastel or Coloursoft pencils, four sheets of paper, and step-by-step instructions. Each kit is based on an actual workshop held at the Cumberland Pencil Museum, the home of Derwent Pencils.

Derwent Pastel Pencils combine the fantastic color of a pastel and the neatness of a pencil. Each pastel pencil contains a large core of pure color encased in hardwood. The consistency is a little firmer than regular pastels, but that makes them ideal for detail work and adding highlights.

Derwent Coloursoft Pencils are soft, smooth, and velvety. They can be mixed and blended to create an infinite spectrum of rich, vibrant color. Ideal for a wide range of drawing styles, they lend themselves to finely detailed illustrations as well as bold, contemporary still lifes and portraiture. The color glides smoothly over a wide variety of drawing surfaces. The soft textured leads allow the quick laydown of solid blocks of vibrant color. The pencils are made from top-quality California incense cedar for easy sharpening.
