The Derwent Watercolour 72 Pencil Tin gives you several brilliant ways to get all the versatile effects of watercolours, but with easy-to-use pencils. You can use Derwent Watercolour Pencils dry, just as you would a normal colouring pencil, but its when you add water that you really begin to appreciate all the possibilities they offer. Dip the pencil in water, or wet the paper, to produce strokes of intense colour, which you can mix just as you would standard watercolours. They have a beautifully soft texture, & are easy to both blend & layer. Download a colour chart here & Compare the Derwent Watercolour Pencils Range
