The Derwent Drawing Pencils 24 Tin offers a beautifully expanded palette of earthy, nature-inspired colours that make this range so distinctive. Loved by wildlife artists, landscape painters and observational sketchers, these pencils are designed to capture the subtle tones and textures found in the natural world.
Each pencil contains a soft wax-based core that glides smoothly across the paper, producing dense, creamy colour that blends and layers effortlessly. The generous 5mm colour strip – one of the widest cores in the Derwent pencil range – allows artists to create expressive marks, build depth and cover larger areas quickly while still maintaining good control for detail work.
The carefully selected palette of 24 colours provides a wider tonal range than the smaller tins, making it ideal for artists who want greater flexibility when building layered drawings. Subtle earth tones, natural greens and classic sepia shades allow you to capture everything from fur and feathers to foliage, bark, skies and skin tones with beautiful subtlety.
The naturally opaque character of Derwent Drawing pencils also allows lighter colours to be layered over darker tones, making it easy to add highlights and refine details as your drawing develops. Highly lightfast pigments help ensure your finished artwork retains its richness and vibrancy over time.
The Derwent Drawing range includes 72 colours in total and is available as individual pencils as well as sets of 6, 12, 24, 36 and 72. This 24 tin is often considered the perfect balance for artists who want a generous palette without carrying a full studio set.
