Derwent Watercolour Pencil Crimson Lake Box of 6

Yes. The Derwent Watercolour Pencils work perfectly dry, behaving like a quality colour pencil for line work, shading, and layering. Add water with a brush whenever you want to create washes, blend edges, or achieve a painted finish.

The key difference is permanence. Inktense pencils become permanent once the colour is activated and dried, giving vivid, intense results. Watercolour pencils remain re-wettable after drying, so colours can be moved, softened, and reworked - making them more forgiving and better suited to subtle, traditional watercolour effects.

This listing is for one box of 6 Derwent Watercolour Pencils, all in the Crimson Lake colour (shade 20). No other colours or accessories are included. Brushes and water are not supplied.

Yes. The soft, smooth core is forgiving and easy to work with, and the re-wettable formula means mistakes can be corrected by rewetting the colour. They are a popular choice for art students, hobbyists, and anyone moving from dry colour pencils into watercolour techniques.

Watercolour paper or cartridge paper with a weight of at least 200gsm is recommended when using the pencils wet, as lighter paper can buckle under moisture. For dry use only, standard drawing or sketching paper is suitable.
