User questions & answers

Question:	do these crumble or chalk up the paper very much while drawing dry, or when used wet, compared to traditional wc pencils? thank you for your help
Answer:	You might try calling Pental. They sell eraser refills but I'm not sure of the part number. Also. I bought large erasers that I use. I don't bother using the eraser on the pencil at all. Ya can't have enough erasers (Humor).
Question:	Do they play well with others? Like If were to use them in tandem with other watercolor pencils for a pop of color or mix to dull or shade a color
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	hello. I am looking for a good pencil for laying down an underdrawing for a watercolor painting. would you recommend these? thank you for your help
Answer:	Yes it comes with .3 .5 .7 .9 in a bubble envelop.
Question:	What paintbrush/s would work best with these pencils
Answer:	This was a set of four pencils, each for a different size of lead. I was surprised to find that each pencil arrived with a 2-inch stick of lead pre-loaded in the barrel. Prior to receiving the set, I had locally bought packages of spare lead in each of the four sizes, but was still happy to discover they arrived loaded, especially because the largest lead size was not in stock at the first stationery store I visited. I have been entirely pleased with performance of the pencils so far. I use them for creative sketching en plein aire mostly. Very handy not to need a sharpener anymore, though I still use wood pencils for my shading style of drawing. Both types of instrument have their place for me.

About STAEDTLER

Creativity makes people a little happier. And more relaxed. With its products, STAEDTLER is not only a companion for people of all ages who want to bring their own creative ideas to life, but also a life-long source of inspiration. With a broad spectrum of high-quality, innovative, German-made creative products, STAEDTLER fosters the development of individual personalities – and has done for more than 180 years.

Healthy growth – working towards our own wood supply with a Plantation

Our focus for sustainable development is wood, the renewable raw material that is at the heart of wood-cased pencils and that it is therefore essential for us to protect. Having our own plantation means STAEDTLER can go one step further and take control of the entire production process for the wooden slats needed for pencil manufacture, from the selection of the tree species in line with environmental and economic criteria, to cultivation methods that meet strict ecological standards, to consideration of local flora and fauna, right through to the processing of the wood itself. STAEDTLER found the right conditions for its plantation in Ecuador in South America. Over an area of about 1,800 hectares there, the trees will grow that will become the STAEDTLER pencils of the future.

Sustainability and protection of the environment

The STAEDTLER corporate philosophy attaches great importance to the protection of the environment, consumers and company employees.Each and every employee plays a part in fulfilling our responsibility towards the environment.

Long before the emergence of the many eco-standards and environmental seals, STAEDTLER was already demonstrating corporate responsibility through efficient processes and a self-imposed eco-system.

Derwent Watercolour Pencils can be mixed with water to create unique colour flows and stunning watercolour effects. These easy to sharpen, break-resistant pencils are ideal for long periods of use. Plus, with the 3.4mm core and hexagonal barrel, you gain greater precision for detailed drawings. They combine the control of a pencil with the beauty of watercolour. Use a wetted pencil tip to create rich, textured lines, or use dampened paper to obtain bright colours with soft edges. The pigment transfers to paper quickly due to the softer formulation, which makes it easier to blend and layer colours. Create a range of effects, from bold, vibrant colours to delicate watercolour washes. Easily customize colours by adding more water, which creates a more muted, watercolour wash. As the pigment is not permanent, you can use water to move and adjust the colours, even after it has dried. With a heritage dating to 1832, Derwent’s innovation comes from an understanding of artists. We’ve produced a range of quality art materials, many of which are made in our British manufacturing plant.

• STURDY PRECISION – Easy to sharpen, break-resistant pencils are ideal for long periods of use. With a 3.4mm core and hexagonal barrel, you gain precision for detailed drawings. Includes 12 colours.
• WATER SOLUBLE – Combine the control of a pencil with the beauty of watercolour. Use a wetted pencil tip to create rich textured lines or use dampened paper to obtain bright colours with soft edges.
• COLOUR LAYERING – Pigment transfers to paper quickly due to a softer formulation. This helps with blending and layering, creating a range of effects from bold colours to delicate watercolour washes.
• ARTISTIC FLEXIBILITY – Customize colours by adding water to create muted watercolour washes. As the pigment is not permanent, you can use water to move and adjust colours, even after it has dried.
• ACCESSORIES – For best results, combine with other Derwent products, such as Derwent Canvas Pencil Wrap, Derwent Waterbrush Set, Derwent Technique Brushes and Derwent Watercolour Paper Pads.
