Derwent Watersoluble Sketching Pencils, Metal Tin, 6 Count

Derwent Sketching Pencils are watersoluble tools best suited for freestyle sketching and bold line drawings. A soft, extra wide graphite core sweeps smoothly across paper for a fast, even lay down, yet is equally suitable for more detailed work. Use them dry or add water to bring a new dimension to your work. Durable metal tin includes 2 each of the following degrees: HB, 4B, 8B and a pencil sharpener.

Since 1832, Derwent has been inspiring amateur and professional artists with an exceptional range of innovative fine art materials. A variety of sizes and colors provide a wealth of drawing and sketching opportunities. Pencils blend together beautifully for subtle variations in tone and mood.

H pencils are hard, light and leave less graphite on paper. B pencils are soft, dark and leave more graphite on paper; HB is somewhere in the middle range between H and B, yet still reasonably hard. The more B's, the softer the lead. HB is equivalent to a standard number 2 pencil.

The soft, extra wide graphite core offers smooth application and allows for detailed work. Shade them on dry paper and apply a water wash to get a watercolor effect. Plus, they're pre-sharpened, so they're ready to use. The durable metal tin includes 6 pencils and a pencil sharpener, making them a convenient and versatile choice for artists of all skill levels.
