But there's a high quality colour pencil that you can paint with as well, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Derwent Watercolour can be used wet or dry, on wet or dry paper, to achieve a wide variety of effects. It comes in 72 classic colours, which retain their full intensity however you use them.
For sheer versatility, Derwent Watercolour is unmatched. These versatile pencils have a new softer water-soluble core which glides across the surface of the paper allowing colour to be laid down easily. The washes are stronger, more soluble and will go further.
This means you can achieve a variety of effects from bold images to delicate watercolour washes. Encased in a slim, 6.9mm diameter, hexagonal barrel they have a 3.4mm water-soluble colour core. Available in 72 highly pigmented colours for maximum colour purity they can be used wet or dry to create interesting painterly effects.
