Derwent Pastel Pencils - Pencils4Artists

Upon examining the previous color chart, it becomes evident that each color was accompanied by two complementary shades. Any result above Blue Wool 6 (ASTM II) is considered to be VERY GOODand will not fade for over 100 years in gallery conditions. There are so many wonderful papers and surfaces that you can use but that is something to cover on another day as the different paper types for pastels is so extensive. These Derwent Pastel Pencils can be mixed and painted like traditional pastel chalks, but they offer increased control, especially in detail work. However, for others, the texture and feel of the pastel dust on their hands is enough to put them off pastel art forever.Derwent Pastel Pencils sharpen beautifully either with a sharpener, knife or sandpaper block so you can achieve a good point for finer detail and with 72 vibrant, fully blendable colours you can create a wide range of different hues and tints. However, before I commence, I also have a video review of these pastel pencils, where you can see real time usage and performance from them.

Pastel Pencils 72 Tin - Derwent

I was genuinely taken back, because my next point really should not be the case, based on how creamy and soft the pencils lay down.Printed along one side of the slender burgundy barrel, starting at the core and working toward the end, is "England", the origin of the pencil and company. This set of gouache style pigmented paint in pastel colours are soft and airy, fully blendable, and can be layered when dry without washing out the colour underneath. With their convenience, precision, and artistic potential, Derwent Pastel Pencils are an invaluable addition to any artist's arsenal. The pigment strength varied in the older Derwent pencils, offering a broader palette of muted colours not found in other pastel pencil ranges. Use with a slightly textured pastel paper to get the most out of these pencils and blending brushes and paper stumps for easy and precise blending.
