Derwent Academy Colour Pencils Pastel Assorted Tin of 12

The tin contains 12 assorted pastel tones selected by Derwent Academy for a harmonious, muted palette. The specific shades may vary slightly by production batch, but the set is designed to cover a broad range of soft pastel tones suitable for layering and blending. Each pencil has its colour name printed on the barrel for easy reference.
