Derwent Water-Soluble Sketching Pencils, Metal Tin, 6-Count

Derwent Sketching Pencils are watersoluble tools best suited for freestyle sketching and bold line drawings. These pencils have a soft, extra wide graphite core that sweeps smoothly across paper for a fast, even lay down, yet they are equally suitable for more detailed work. Users can employ them dry or add water to bring a new dimension to their work. The durable metal tin includes 2 each of the following degrees: HB, 4B, 8B, and a pencil sharpener.

H pencils are hard, light, and leave less graphite on paper, while B pencils are soft, dark, and leave more graphite on paper. HB pencils fall somewhere in the middle range between H and B, yet they are still reasonably hard. The more B's, the softer the lead, and HB is equivalent to a standard number 2 pencil. Derwent has been inspiring amateur and professional artists with an exceptional range of innovative fine art materials since 1832.

A variety of sizes and colors provide a wealth of drawing and sketching opportunities, and the pencils blend together beautifully for subtle variations in tone and mood. The soft, extra wide graphite core offers smooth application and allows for detailed work. Users can shade the pencils on dry paper and apply a water wash to get a watercolor effect. The durable metal tin includes 6 pencils and a pencil sharpener, ensuring that the tools are ready to use.
