Great to use and you can mix them with water to create interesting colour flows.  They’re not as bright as Inktense so they’re ideal if you like to do more subtle paintings.  Of course, you can use them dry and because they have such a soft texture you will find them easy to blend and layer.

• Sturdy and precise – easy to sharpen, the breakproof pencil is perfect for long periods of use. With a 3.4mm core and hexagonal barrel, you can get the precision of a detailed drawing. Contains 72 colors.
• Water Solubility – Combines the control of a pencil with the beauty of watercolor. Use a damp nib to create richly textured lines, or use damp paper for vibrant colors and soft edges.
• Color Grading – Due to the softer formulation, the pigment is quickly transferred to the paper. This helps to blend and layer, creating a range of effects, from bold colours to delicate watercolour washes.
• Artistic Flexibility – Customize colors by adding water to create a soft watercolor wash. Since the pigment is not permanent, you can use water to move and adjust the color even after drying
• Accessories – For best results, combine with other Derwent products, such as Derwent canvas pencil packs, Derwent brush sets, Derwent technical brushes, and Derwent watercolor paper pads.
