Derwent Watercolour Pencil Tin, 72 Colours

The kit contains 72 vibrant water-soluble colours, protected in a durable tin for easy storage and transport, plus the ability to layer dries, blends, and washes.

You can use them dry like regular coloured pencils for detailed drawing. Spritz or brush with water to activate the pigment for washes.

Apply colour where you want it, then use a damp brush to pull the pigment through the paper. Build layers by letting areas dry between applications for depth and luminosity.

Heavy-weight watercolor paper or mixed-media paper works best to handle washes; very smooth papers may not take as much water.

72 color range, water-soluble leads for washes and details, smooth blending, high color strength for vibrant results, a durable tin for storage, and multi-media use with graphite or ink. Best for advanced artists and illustrators.

Yes. They’re designed for multi-media use and layer well with graphite, ink, and other paints.

The durable tin keeps the pencils organized and secure, making it easy to store on a shelf or take to the studio or class.

For broader color range and gradations, the 72-colour tin offers more variety than smaller sets; if you want portability, you might consider the 24-colour Derwent Watercolour Pencil Tin: https://fepy.com/product/derwent-watercolour-pencil-tin-24-colours.
