Derwent Paint Pens

Derwent Paint Pens are professional quality paint pens with a permanent water-based ink that is lightfast (it won’t fade over time). Each paint pen has a fine 0.5 nib. This high-quality Japanese nib is very durable and perfect for creating fine lines of colour and detail.

What colours are available in Derwent Paint Pens?

Available in 20 vivid opaque colours, Derwent Paint Pens can be blended and layered. Whilst wet, you can add water to them to create a transparent wash. Once dry, the colours are permanent.

We sell Derwent Paint Pens in 4 different coloured sets, with each set containing 5 pens. To create bold, graphic artwork, try using them with the Derwent Liner Maker Fineliner Pens.

What surfaces can you use Derwent Paint Pens on?

Derwent Paint Pens are suitable for using on most surfaces, including fabric, paper, card, sketchbooks, canvas, porcelain, wood, glass and metal. If you are using them on paper, then a heavyweight smooth cartridge paper or Bristol Board works best.
