Derwent Watercolour Imperial Purple, colour 2300

Derwent Watercolour Imperial Purple is a water-soluble colour pencil that draws dry or turns to watercolour with water, sold here as a box of 6 pencils in the one colour.

Imperial Purple is colour number 2300 in Derwent Watercolour, a range of 72 colours. Derwent describes the range as combining the control of a pencil with the subtle beauty of the watercolour medium. Used dry, the soft texture blends and layers; mixed with water, the marks become colour flows. Derwent's colour chart rates Imperial Purple at 4 on the Blue Wool Scale, where Derwent treats 6 or above as highly lightfast.

Watercolour is not permanent, so a dried area can be re-wet and the colour moved again, which Derwent contrasts with its permanent Inktense range. Derwent also describes Watercolour as less bright than Inktense, which suits subtle paintings and mixed media work. A box of 6 keeps one colour stocked for a class or studio.
