Derwent provides quality water-soluble pencils for the artist who demands the very best. Watercolor Pencils combine vibrant, lightfast pigments with the comfort and familiar control of a pencil. They offer great versatility with both dry and wet applications. Use dry as a conventional color pencil and then wash over the marks with a wet brush to achieve fluid watercolor effects. Draw on wet paper to create lines with an intense color and a soft edge. Blended layers can be reworked even after they dry. Pencils are non-toxic and come packaged in metal tins for convenient storage and portability.
