The Derwent Pastel Pencils Portrait Collection features a set of 12 high-quality pastel pencils specifically designed for portraiture and fine art drawings. With a soft, powdery, and chalky texture, these pencils deliver a velvety smooth finish. Therefore making them ideal for blending and colour mixing. The fine grade pastel inside each pencil offers exceptional coverage. While the minimal dusting ensures a cleaner workspace. These pencils are easy to sharpen to a fine point. Thus allowing artists to add intricate details to their drawings and sketches.
The pastel pencils are naturally soluble, meaning they can be used dry or activated with water for varied effects. Artists can apply a wet brush to create delicate washes or manipulate the pastel on the page for a soft, watercolour-like finish. The pencils can also be smudged using a paper stump or even a finger to create subtle transitions and soft gradients. Therefore making them versatile tools for creating stunning drawings. The set of 12 colours is carefully curated to support portrait work, with shades that suit skin tones, hair. As well as natural elements such as foliage, flowers, and landscapes.
This set includes round barrel pencils with a 4mm pastel core. Ensuring precision and control for both detailed work and broad strokes. This collection is compatible with other Derwent colouring and sketching pencils. Thus allowing artists to mix and match to achieve the desired effect in their artwork.
