Derwent Watercolour Pencil Sepia Box of 6

Yes. The Derwent Watercolour Pencil works perfectly dry as a conventional coloured pencil, giving fine, controlled marks. Add water with a brush to activate the pigment and create soft washes. The soft 3.5mm core blends easily even when used dry.

Inktense pencils produce vivid, ink-like colour that becomes permanent once dry, making it impossible to re-wet. Watercolour pencils are softer in tone, re-wettable even after drying, and better suited to subtle, painterly effects and traditional watercolour techniques.

The box contains 6 individual Derwent Watercolour Pencils, all in the Sepia (colour reference 53) shade. This is a single-colour box, useful for keeping a generous supply of a key working tone without purchasing a full multi-colour set.

Watercolour paper with a cold-press or hot-press finish gives the best results when using water. For dry drawing, any smooth cartridge or drawing paper works well. Heavier paper (at least 200gsm) is recommended when applying wet washes to avoid buckling.

Yes. The Derwent Watercolour range is widely used in both art education and professional studios. The approachable price point and easy handling make them a practical choice for students, while the high pigment quality and light fastness satisfy more experienced artists.
