Derwent Academy Watercolour Pencil Middle Chrome Box of 6

Yes. Derwent Academy Watercolour Pencils work perfectly as dry drawing pencils. The soft, smooth core blends and layers well without any water, making them versatile for sketching as well as painted effects.

The key difference is permanence. Inktense colours become permanent once dry, giving vivid, ink-like results. Derwent Academy Watercolour pencils remain re-workable after drying, so you can re-wet and move the colour again. They also produce more subtle, traditional watercolour tones rather than the intense, saturated hues of Inktense.

This listing is for a box of 6 Derwent Academy Watercolour Pencils, all in the Middle Chrome colour (reference 08). It does not include a brush or any other accessories.

Yes. The hexagonal barrel provides good grip and control, and the forgiving water-soluble medium makes them approachable for beginners. Because dry colour can be re-wetted and adjusted, there is less pressure to get results right on the first pass.

The water-soluble core is 3.5mm in diameter. The pencils are cased in Californian incense cedar wood, which is known in the pencil industry for sharpening cleanly and evenly without splitting.
