Derwent Pastel pencils have a fine chalk texture. The soft, powdery nature of pastel produces a smooth velvety finish, ideal for blending and colour mixing.

Pastel pencils have minimal dusting and can be sharpened to a point to add detail to drawings and sketches. The colour palette is perfect for nature and wildlife drawings.

The pencils can be used dry and smudged with a paper stump or finger. Or use a wet brush to create light washes and manipulate the powder on the page.

Features:

• Round barrels with a 4mm coloured pastel core
• The beauty of fine grade pastel within a pencil
• Soft, powdery, chalky texture with minimal dusting
• Naturally soluble so can be manipulated by water
