Derwent #2300255 Pastel Pencil Violet P260 - Box 6

All the beauty of a pastel with the convenience and control of a pencil.

Pastels are usually all about getting your hands dirty but not with Derwent Pastel Pencils. The wide colour strip is powdery & soft so mixing and blending is really easy and because it is encased in wood you get the pastel effect without the mess (if you can resist using your fingers to blend!).

Product Features:

• The vast range of colours available allow artists to layer colours on top of each other in order to create new tints and hues.
• Can be easily mixed and blended.
• Suitable for all types of pastel work.
• Ideal for creating crisp, fine lines and detailed pastel studies.

Derwent Story

From humble origins to 1 million pencils a week

Our story begins in the heart of the Lake District with the discovery of graphite in the Borrowdale Valley and the birth of pencil making in Keswick.By the 1800s pencil making in Keswick was a thriving cottage industry.TheCumberland Pencil Companycreated its first pencil in 1832 and the first Derwent art colour pencil was introduced in 1938. Our Pencil Museum still stands on the site of our original factory in Keswick. Derwent has continued to be proud of its Cumbrian roots and in 2008 a purpose-built factory was opened in Lillyhall.

At Derwent, we continue to evolve and improve not only our traditional pencils but also to introduce new innovative products serving generations of artists and hobbysits.
