Derwent has been producing artist’s pencils since 1832. They produce pencils for every type of art project using that type of medium. Derwent offers wax-based, oil-based and pencils as well as charcoal and graphite blocks. They also offer a wide range of graphite pencils in all the softness ranges from 6B to 4H.
Derwent pencils are sold in sets and packaged in metal tins or wooden boxes. They are sold in sets but can also be purchased as single pencils. Derwent supplies the pencil for your specific drawing needs. They have pastel collection, a sketching group, color pencils and watercolor pencils.
Artists’ materials traditionally require delicate care to have a long life. Derwent’s products do not need special care. Their pastel pencils can be sharpened with electric sharpeners instead of the long-dreaded knife foregone pastel pens needed to be sharpened. Derwent is state of the art in its seven different pencil formulas.
