Derwent Procolour Pencils

Derwent Procolour Pencils are professional coloured pencils with an oil based lead for smooth colour blending. These pencils have a texture like wax but glide like an oil.

The strong lead can be sharpened to a fine point for precision drawing and colours are soft making them excellent for layering and blending. Minimal dusting keeps work clean and smudge free. Procolour Pencils combine the best qualities of Derwent Coloursoft Pencils and Derwent Artists Pencils.

What colours are available in Derwent Procolour Pencils?

Derwent Procolour Pencils come in a range of 72 rich vibrant colours, all with a high pigment content. We sell single Procolour Pencils or tins of 12, 24, 36 and the complete set of 72. 90% of the colours are lightfast, scoring 3-8 on the Blue Wool Scale.

What is the best way to blend Derwent Procolour Pencils?

Procolour Pencils blend beautifully with the Derwent Blender Pens, paper stumps or Zest-It Pencil Blend Medium.

What is the best paper for Derwent Procolour Pencils?

You can use Derwent Procolour Pencils on a wide range of paper surfaces, but for best results, we recommend using them on a smooth artists’ paper such as Bristol Board for fine detail drawing.

If you are going to be doing a lot of colour layering then a Heavyweight Medium Grain Cartridge Paper would be better.

Derwent Procolour Pencils are suitable for a wide range of drawing techniques including mixed media. They are vegan friendly and these high quality artists pencils are made in Britain.

Professional artists have praised the Derwent Procolour Pencil range for its strong point, vibrant and smooth colours, colour-mixing and blending and layering abilities.
