Derwent Watersoluble Graphitone 8B graphite stick, box of 12

The 8B degree of Derwent Watersoluble Graphitone, a woodless graphite stick for broad tone and water washes, sold in a box of 12.

Derwent introduces Watersoluble Graphitone as pure compressed graphite sticks for covering broad areas of tone: no wood casing, just water-soluble graphite. This is the 8B stick. It can be used like a pencil in its paper wrapper, or the wrapper can come off so the stick, whole or in chunks, makes broad sweeps of tone. Water then dissolves the graphite into softness. Graphitone comes in 4 wash strengths.

When ordering, quote our product code AA34303 or Derwent code 34303. This listing is a box of 12 sticks in 8B. Derwent rates the Graphitone range 5 for layering, 4 for erasing, 4 for point strength and 3 for blending, and lists a smooth texture over a 7mm round stick.

Our Water Soluble Pencils collection holds this stick and other water-soluble lines. Pencils brings together graphite, sketching and colour pencils, and Drawing & Colouring has the pads and other materials for a drawing order.
