Derwent Academy Burnisher Pencil Box of 6

A burnisher pencil is a hard, colourless pencil that is pressed over existing layers of coloured or graphite pencil. The pressure compresses the pigment into the paper fibres, eliminating visible paper texture and producing a smooth, polished, almost shiny finish. It does not add any colour of its own.

No. Because the pencil core is entirely colourless, it adds no pigment to your work. It enhances the vibrancy and sheen of existing colour without shifting or muddying the hues underneath. This makes it safe to use over detailed, multicoloured areas.

This listing is for a box of 6 Derwent Academy Burnisher Pencils. The pack of 6 is well suited to classroom sets, shared studio supplies, or anyone who works through pencils regularly and wants a backup supply on hand.

The Academy range is positioned for students aged 14 and above, hobbyists, and developing artists. Professional artists who need higher-grade materials may prefer Derwent's Professional Quality range. The Academy burnisher remains an excellent, reliable tool for everyday creative work and educational settings.

The product is specifically noted as effective with colour and graphite pencils. Using a burnisher over water-soluble or watercolour pencil layers that have already dried can work, but the primary use case is dry coloured and graphite media. Testing on a scrap sheet first is always a good practice.
