Derwent Watercolour Pencil Oriental Blue Box of 6

Yes. Derwent Watercolour Pencils work perfectly dry, delivering smooth, pigment-rich lines directly on paper. Adding water transforms the marks into flowing washes, so you can switch between drawing and painting within the same piece.

The key difference is permanence. Inktense pigment becomes permanent once dry, while Watercolour pencil pigment remains re-wettable, allowing you to rework and blend areas after they have dried. The Watercolour range also produces softer, more subtle tones compared to the vivid intensity of Inktense.

This listing contains 6 Derwent Watercolour Pencils, all in the Oriental Blue shade (colour reference 37). No brush or other accessories are included.

Yes. The soft, smooth 3.5mm core is forgiving and easy to control, making these pencils approachable for students at secondary and tertiary level as well as adult beginners. The ability to re-wet dried colour reduces the pressure of making mistakes.

Watercolour paper or mixed media paper with a degree of texture and weight (typically 200gsm or above) gives the best results when adding water. For dry use only, standard cartridge or drawing paper is suitable.
