Derwent


Derwent has had a passion for producing the finest quality pencils since it's formation in 1832. This commitment to excellence and reputation for innovation is displayed perfectly in the Derwent range of fine art media. From the popular Graphic, Artists, Pastel, Studio and Watercolour ranges to the innovative Graphitint and Tinted Charcoal ranges, and not forgetting the vibrant Inktense which is available in pencil form or blocks of pigment.

For those looking for a softer cores there are the Procolour and Coloursoft ranges.

With Derwent Lightfast it’s all about the '100'. These incredible oil based pencils are 100% lightfast, giving colour that the manufacturer states will last 100 years, and they are available in 100 beautiful shades!  The core is hard enough for sharpening to a fine point but smooth enough for a creamy soft lay down of fully blendable colour.  The vibrant core is also vegan friendly, so we are 100% sure we have just introduced you to your new favourite pencil.
Derwent Paint Pans

Derwent Paint Pans

The deep rich colours that have been a hallmark of Derwent Pencils for many years are now available in half pan paint form.

These water soluble blocks can be used in a variety of ways to suit whatever project you are working on. The colours mix beautifully and blend well, even when using different paint ranges.

Unlike normal watercolour pans, these paints, when dry, can be layered on without the bottom colour being washed out.  Because singles are available you can update and create your own pallettes as colours run out. 

Derwent Chromaflow

Derwent Chromaflow

Want a pencil that has colour so vibrant it will stand out well even on black or mid tone papers? Then the Chromaflow range may well be the one for you.

The ultra smooth and creamy 4mm core comes 72 highly pigmented colours. They are blendable and able to be layered, so just about any hue is possible. Although soft, the powder based core has good strength and can be sharpened to a fine point for detailing.

Chromaflow pencils are also erasable, so nothing is permanent until you want it to be, leaving you with the ability to create highlights, or simply change your mind. After all, inspiration doesn’t always mean first time perfection!

Derwent Procolour Pencils

Derwent Procolour Pencils

Combining the smooth, easy laydown of a Coloursoft pencil but retaining the strong point and harder core of an Artist pencil,  the Derwent Procolour has been designed to provide a combination of these two popular pencils. A wax based core allows the Procolour to glide like oil whilst remaining clean, blendable with a non-waxy feel. The highly pigmented cores have a unique formulation that ensure the point remains strong and sharp for intricate work.
