Derwent Lightfast Coloured Pencils Wooden Box of 100

Description

Wooden box of 100 Derwent Lightfast coloured pencils, comprising the entire range of rich, vibrant colours available. Professional quality pencils, each of which has attained a lightfast level of either LF1 or LF2, which means that they are considered fully compliant with the ASTM 6901 and Blue Wool Scale ISO 105 standards.

The oil-based core is resistant to prolonged colour change, ensuring museum-stored artwork stays as vivid after 100 years as it did when it was first created. The smooth, creamy laydown of opaque colour is compatible with oil mediums, and produces a paint-like effect when dissolved. Note that this may affect lightfastness.

Strong point for ease of sharpening; ideal for detailed drawings and defining negative space. Round wood casing with a light lacquer. End-dipped with the core colour and stamped with ‘Made in Britain’ and ‘Derwent Lightfast’.
