Derwent Watersoluble Sketching pencil 8B, Dark Wash

An 8B Water-soluble Sketching pencil from Derwent, the degree our listing calls Dark Wash, in a box of 12.

The 8B is the Dark Wash degree, as our listing names it, in Derwent's Water-soluble Sketching range of 3 degrees. Derwent sells these pencils for line and wash sketching: draw in graphite, add a little water, and the marks become delicate graphite washes that Derwent says blend and layer. The pencil is wax-based and water-soluble, with a smooth texture and a 4mm core.

Quote Derwent code 34343 or our code AA34343 on an order. We sell the 8B as a box of 12 pencils. Derwent's range ratings are 5 for blending, 5 for layering and 5 for point strength, and the catalogue marks the range with 3 wash strengths.

This 8B sits in Water Soluble Pencils. More graphite, sketching and colour pencils are in Pencils, and Drawing & Colouring covers the pads and drawing materials to go with them.
