Strictly speaking not a colored pencil, I know :-) However, I feel that this range deserves its place here as a brilliant addition to any colored pencil artist's range of materials. I bought these on a whim, to try out, and have been very pleasantly surprised by the fact that I keep reaching for them to create simpler pieces like the portrait on this page.
Derwent Graphitint Pencils combine the character of a watersoluble graphite pencil with a hint of color and can be used both dry and wet, and when water is applied these create beautiful washes of vibrant color. The pencils are soft and smooth, and can be blended to produce an endless array of soft tones, giving your piece gorgeous tonal variations.
Colors can be modified or removed with a soft eraser or a brush and clean water and range from soft greys, blues, and greens to fantastic russets, plums, and browns. The portrait on this page was created with the colors Port and Aubergine.
