Derwent Watercolour pencils in the 12-piece tin offer the ideal combination of a traditional colored drawing pencil with the fluid beauty of watercolor paint. Featuring a soft, blendable 3.4mm core, they allow you to easily create dry textures and pencil shading, then instantly transform your artwork into a soft wash by sweeping a wet brush over the pigment. It serves as a fantastic, highly portable starter palette for artists who want to switch dynamically from drawing to painting on a single sheet of paper.
