Derwent Watercolour Pencils offer a versatile drawing and painting experience. Their soft, smooth texture applies 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. Explore further effects by wetting your paper before applying colour, to create intense colours with soft edges. For rich, textured lines, dip the pencil in water before creating your artwork. Derwent Watercolour Pencils are highly pigmented to allow for maximum colour purity and light fastness. They are not permanent when dry, so can be easily reactivated by applying water to your layers of colour. This beautiful wooden box contains one of each of the Derwent Watercolour Pencils in the range, the ideal gift for artists, students, hobbyists or watercolour enthusiasts.
