Derwent Watercolour Pencils are highly pigmented to allow for maximum colour purity and light fastness. Enjoy a watercolour painting effect with the precise control of a pencil. Their soft, smooth texture lays down colour beautifully when they are used dry and makes them easy to layer and blend. To create a watercolour painting effect, use them wet or apply water on top of your dry colour to blend your layers. Derwent Watercolour Pencils are not permanent when dry, you can easily reactivate the colour by rewetting your layers. Ideal for painting, drawing and mixed media, get the best results from your Derwent Watercolour Pencil by using on medium-heavy weight drawing paper or watercolour paper.
