Derwent Academy Watercolour Pencil Light Blue Box of 6

Yes. Derwent Academy Watercolour Pencils work perfectly dry, giving you a soft, smooth coloured-pencil effect. Apply water afterwards with a brush to dissolve the pigment into a watercolour wash, or leave the drawing dry for a more traditional look.

Inktense pencils produce vivid, ink-like colour that becomes permanent once dry, making it resistant to re-wetting. Watercolour pencils give a softer, more traditional watercolour result and remain re-workable even after drying, so you can continue to lift and blend pigment at any stage.

This listing contains 6 pencils, all in Light Blue (shade 33). It is a single-colour box, ideal for stocking up on a frequently used colour rather than a mixed assortment.

Any standard pencil sharpener works with the Californian incense cedar barrel. A quality sharpener with a sharp blade will give you a clean point without splintering. A sharpener with a 3.5mm core-size setting is ideal if you need a very fine tip.

Yes, they are well suited to art students and school settings. The hexagonal barrel provides a secure grip for younger users, and the water-soluble core encourages experimentation with wet and dry techniques. Always supervise young children when water and art materials are combined.
