Derwent Mixed Media Water-Soluble Blister Pack, 6 Pieces

Color lightly on paper with the pencils, then use a brush with clean water to activate and blend the pigment. More water creates larger washes; blotting controls intensity, and you can re-wet to deepen tones or rework edges.

Use watercolor or mixed-media papers, typically around 180–300 gsm. Heavier paper handles multiple layers and washes, while textured papers enhance the water-activated effects.

6-piece set; assorted water-soluble tools; high pigmentation; soft-core texture for easy layering; water activation to expand technique range; compact blister pack designed for easy transport; best for mixing dry and watercolor effects.
