What Are the Derwent Artists Colouring Pencils?
These are professional-grade coloured pencils with a 3.8mm pigment-rich core, formulated specifically for the layering, blending, and burnishing techniques used in professional coloured pencil art. The larger core diameter compared to standard coloured pencils provides more pigment per stroke and allows both fine detail work and broad coverage.
