Blend velvety color layers into luminous portraits and bold compositions
Soft cores deposit saturated color with minimal pressure, letting you build rich, velvety layers without the hand fatigue that comes from wrestling harder pencils across paper. Derwent formulates these pencils specifically for blending, colors merge smoothly whether you're working wet or dry, creating seamless gradations for portraiture skin tones or atmospheric landscape transitions. The generous pigment load means solid coverage happens quickly; blocking in backgrounds or filling large areas takes minutes rather than the laborious buildup required by firmer pencils.
Californian incense cedar barrels sharpen cleanly without splintering, maintaining their hexagonal shape through repeated sharpening. Acid-free pigments tested for lightfastness ensure your finished work won't fade or yellow over time. The soft texture works across surfaces from smooth Bristol to textured watercolor paper, adapting to your preferred ground. Individual pencil availability lets you replace frequently used colors, those core skin tones and deep shadows, without buying redundant full sets. Six pencils fill a standard box when you're ready to build a focused palette around the colors your work actually demands.
