Key specs: 24 colours, water-soluble core for blending washes, rich graphite finish for depth and texture, soft application for fine or broad strokes, reusable tin case, suitable for both dry and wet techniques, model RXL0700803.

Sharpen the pencil and apply dry for shading, then lightly mist or brush with a water brush to dissolve the pigment. Work from light to dark, layering washes to control tone, texture, and depth.

Use smooth to medium-texture drawing papers or watercolour paper to accommodate both dry shading and washes. A gentle water brush can help blend tones on wetter papers, while dry paper highlights fine detail.

Yes. The pencils are designed for dry shading and, when used with water, create smooth, blendable washes for wet techniques and painterly effects.

Use a standard sharpener to maintain a fine point for detail. Store the pencils in the included reusable tin to protect the cores and keep the set organized; keep the tin closed when not in use.

Derwent Graphitint pencils are formulated for artists and are commonly marketed as non-toxic. Always check the packaging for certification marks applicable in your region and follow standard safety guidelines.

Consider a water brush or soft blending stumps for washes, high-quality drawing paper or watercolor paper for layering, and a good eraser for corrections. Having a dedicated sharpener also helps maintain a precise point.

Great for moody landscapes, atmospheric portraits, architectural textures, and layered textures in abstract or conceptual work. The muted tones are ideal for subtle shading, underdrawing, and creating depth with controlled highlights.
