This set mixes 36 of Derwent’s most popular Graphitint and Watercolour colors and presents them in a convenient take-along tin with magnetic closure.

Pencils that you can paint with! Unlike paint, Watercolour pencils are easy and convenient to use. These versatile pencils have a new, softer, watersoluble core that glides across the surface of the paper, allowing color to be laid down easily. The washes are stronger, more soluble, and go further. This means you can achieve a variety of effects from bold images to delicate watercolor washes. Encased in a slim, 6.9 mm diameter, hexagonal barrel they have a 3.4 mm water-soluble color core. Colors are highly pigmented for maximum color purity and can be used wet or dry to create interesting painterly effects.

Graphite pencils with a hint of color! If you’d like to introduce some color to your graphite drawings, this pencil does it all. Used dry, Graphitint provides just a hint of color but adding water literally transforms the tint into rich, vibrant color. Graphitint appeals to artists looking for something a little bit different but with all the familiar qualities of their favorite graphite pencils. This round 8 mm diameter pencil with a wide 4 mm strip has the same physical properties as the watersoluble sketching pencil but with the added benefit of color.
