Derwent Watercolour Pencil Tin, 24 Colours

These pencils have a water-soluble core. You can draw with them dry for fine lines or apply water with a brush to activate pigment, creating washes, gradients and soft blends—combining drawing and painting in one tool.

Key features include a balanced palette of 24 colours, a water-soluble core for washes and blending, smooth pencil texture for easy application, blendable pigments for gradients, a reusable tin to protect and organise, and lightfast colours for long-lasting vibrancy.

Watercolour pencils perform well on watercolour paper and mixed-media papers. A heavier, textured surface helps pigment grip when using dry marks, while a smooth surface is great for finer lines before applying washes.

Sketch with the pencils dry to lay down lines, then use a damp brush to activate the pigment and pull color across the page. Layer and build up color gradually, allowing each wash to dry before applying the next for depth.

Yes, the set features lightfast pigments designed to maintain vibrancy over time when exposed to light under typical usage conditions.

Keep the pencils in the reusable tin to protect the cores and prevent breakage. Close the tin lid when not in use and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Perfect for artists who enjoy combining drawing and painting, travel sketching with a single compact set, producing quick tonal studies, creating washes over line work, and experimenting with gradients and layered colours.
