Watercolor's aesthetic appeal. The accuracy of a pencil. The elegance of watercolor combined with pencil control: Pencils of expert caliber available in a variety of muted hues For the look of watercolor without the mess of conventional paints Simple to blend, leaving no ugly pencil lines behind Pencils are easily accessible in an attractive tin with a removable lid, freeing up desk space. Use dry for layering, adding detail, or coloring. Best when used with watercolor paper and Derwent waterbrushes. Numerals and color names are engraved in silver. Paints are a little less user-friendly and convenient to use than pencils. To have the best of both worlds, there's also a premium color pencil that you can use for painting. Use of Derwent Watercolor is possible.
