Chalky 4mm pastel core in Dioxazine Purple (P280)

A box of 6 Derwent Pastel pencils, all in Dioxazine Purple, colour P280 in the 72-colour Derwent Pastel Pencils range.

Colour P280, Dioxazine Purple, comes from the 72-colour Derwent Pastel Pencils range. Pastel is a naturally water-soluble medium, so marks can stay dry or be worked with water into light washes. The 4mm core has a chalky texture, and Derwent notes the pencils are highly pigmented with minimal dusting. Portraiture, life studies and detailed sketches are the uses Derwent lists.

Our product code is AA2300257; Derwent's code is 2300257, colour number P280. We sell it in a box of 6 matching pencils. In Derwent's range features table the Pastel Pencils score 5 for blendable, 5 for layering and 3 for point strength, and Dioxazine Purple is rated 7 on the Blue Wool scale.

For more pastel stock, see our Craft Pastels collection. Drawing and painting supplies for art rooms and studios are gathered in Art & Craft Supplies, which covers our wider art and craft range.
