Derwent Watercolour Pencil Cobalt Blue Box of 6

Yes. Derwent Watercolour Pencils work perfectly dry, delivering smooth, blendable colour with good layering capability. Add water with a brush when you want to lift and spread the pigment into soft washes. Both techniques can be combined in the same artwork.

The key difference is permanence. Inktense pigment becomes permanent once dry, producing vivid, saturated colour. Watercolour Pencils remain re-wettable after drying, so you can rework, blend, and soften areas repeatedly. Watercolour Pencils also produce more subtle, traditional watercolour tones rather than intense ink-like hues.

This listing contains 6 individual Derwent Watercolour Pencils, all in Cobalt Blue (shade 31). No brush or sharpener is included. Each pencil features the same highly pigmented 3.5mm water-soluble core, so the box is ideal when you need consistent colour across a larger project.

Yes. The soft, smooth core is easy to control and the hexagonal barrel keeps the pencil steady in hand. Because the pigment can be reworked once wet, beginners can adjust their work freely. They are a popular choice in school art rooms and introductory art courses.

Yes. The Californian incense cedar wood barrel is specifically chosen for its sharpening qualities - it cuts cleanly with a standard pencil sharpener without splitting or crumbling. A quality sharpener with a sharp blade will give you the best point and minimise core breakage.
