Derwent Lightfast Colour Pencils are professional-grade, oil-based coloured pencils made for longevity and high performance. Each pencil is 100% lightfast, meaning the colours resist fading and remain stable for up to 100 years. This durability is tested to meet ASTM D6901 and Blue Wool Scale ISO 105 standards. The oil-based core delivers a creamy, smooth laydown that allows for easy blending and layering. Colours glide onto the page with a buttery texture, creating a soft, velvety finish that resembles oil paint. This makes the pencils suitable for standalone use or for blending with oil-based mediums.
The strong core supports fine detailing and allows dark colours to layer over lighter ones without smudging. This enables effective use of contrast and detail work, even in complex compositions. The pigment is opaque, maintaining its intensity on both white and coloured paper. This quality ensures colour vibrancy across various surfaces and styles. The range includes 100 shades, offering one of the widest colour spectrums available in a lightfast pencil set. Artists have access to an extensive palette for expressive and technical work.
Made in the UK, these pencils use high-quality pigments and a durable oil-based binder for consistent, archival results. The formulation supports detailed illustration, smooth gradients, and dynamic shading. Artists can control the colour intensity using pressure variation, making the pencils versatile for both soft shading and bold line work. Colours can be layered or blended directly on the page to build depth and texture. The Derwent Lightfast range meets the needs of professionals who value colour accuracy, permanence, and surface versatility. It is a reliable choice for preserving artwork in its original state for generations. The pencils are ideal for achieving fine results in both traditional and experimental artistic techniques.
