Derwent - Graphitint Pencils
Sketch with graphite's subtlety, then activate hidden color with water
Sketch atmospheric landscapes where dry pencil establishes structure before water transforms select areas into moody, saturated passages; layer dry over wet for textural contrast; lift color with a damp brush to create highlights.
The smooth, rich laydown blends effortlessly, whether you're working dry or wet. Colors combine to produce nuanced hues that feel both controlled and organic, cool grays shift toward slate, warm browns deepen into earth tones, indigos and aubergines create twilight effects impossible with standard graphite. A soft eraser lightens dry applications; a wet brush lifts and redistributes pigment like traditional watercolor.
Sets range from 12 essential colors to 24 comprehensive hues spanning cool grays through warm earth tones, oceanic blues to forest greens. Perfect for artists who want graphite's precision with watercolor's atmospheric possibilities.
