Derwent Lightfast Pencil Set, Tin of 36, Professional Oil-Based, 100% Fade-Resistant

Set includes 36 colors, oil based formula for blending without wax bloom, lightfast testing confirming long-term permanence, smooth application for layering, high pigment load for deep color coverage, and archival standard suitable for professional artwork.

The oil-based core provides smoother blending and a creamy feel, minimizes wax bloom, and delivers consistent color payoff with strong adhesion to paper, making it ideal for detailed work and rich tonal builds.

Start with light pressure to lay down base tones, gradually build color with layered strokes, blend using a colorless blender or a soft tissue, and allow colors to dry between layers to maintain sharp edges and prevent muddying.
