Product Information

This set however only has 24, but the colours are so gorgeous and even the names given to the colours will push your inspiration along.

The same goes for the white pencil but always ensure the painting is fully dry before applying dry pencil applications to avoid scratching the surface as already mentioned.

With over 150 years of know-how packed into every pencil and art tool, our creative and scientific minds never cease experimenting.

Other colours were added to the edges of the wings creating a layering process of wet/dry applications until I got the right amount of detail and colour strength. The Derwent Graphitint Paint Pan Set includes 12 pans of water-soluble paint made from a unique blend of graphite with colour. in Europe, for the set of 12 Derwent Graphitint it will cost €17 and for the 24 set it will cost €38. Obsessing over highest quality materials and forever creating an ever evolving exceptional range for every artist.Unless specified, offers and vouchers are not valid on products which are already discounted from RRP, gift vouchers, books and from the I LOVE ART range. It is perfect for taking out sketching allowing the artist to work dry in monochrome and to add water with a brush where colour emphasis is needed. Drawing using Graphitint is lovely, though I find not enough of the 'wet' colour is coming up on the dry version, so you need to be very careful of which pencil is what colour.

Dry applications provide a hint of colour, while adding water transforms pigments into rich shades with an underlying graphite sheen. Colours can be lightened or removed with an eraser or by lifting out with a brush and clean water and the colours range from soft greys and blues to warm russets and plums.

When used dry the graphite is the strongest tone with a suggestion of colour, once wetted the colour becomes more vibrant and changes into rich earthy tones.

In terms of the set itself, it comes in exactly the same kind of box as the Inktense pan sets, including a sponge, a waterbrush and five mixing areas inside the lid. You cannot blend them or completely erase them, and I think these only work best when mixed with water, very much like the Derwent Inktense pencils. A round 8mm diameter pencil with a 4mm strip that has the same physical properties as an 8B Watersoluble Sketching Pencil with the added versatility of coloured pigment. You’ll be amazed at what happens when you add water to Derwent Graphitint, it just explodes into colour! After the colours had fully dried, I began applying fine details with the Ocean Blue pencil to create the 'stipple' effect on the wings.

Graphitint is an easy to hold 8ply round pencil with a 4mm strip, perfect for broader strokes but can also be used for specific detail when sharpened to a finer point. I'm no watercolourist and have minimal knowledge on how best to work watercolour pencils so followed the same concept as I do with acrylics. I don't normally list the colours in my written reviews, mainly because I can review sets that have 120 colours in them.Love the quality, they blend beautifully and produce strong, complex colours (the obscure names - "storm", "sage" or "juniper" are not what you'd think - take a bit of working out, but they are good). A tin containing 12 Graphitint Pencils (port, aubergine, dark indigo, slate green, ivy, chestnut, cool grey, cocoa, storm, midnight black, cloud grey and cool grey).
