Derwent Academy Watercolour Pencils, Set of 24 in Tin, Multicolour Artist’s Pencils, Ideal for Wet or Dry Colouring, Drawing & Illustration, Premium Hobbyist Quality, 2300226 : desertcart.co.uk

Review: Lovely item - Nice tactile , and fine control
Review: Good selection of skin tones. - A superb set of skin tone colour pencils from Derwent that are student grade and are excellent value for money. They lay down very nicely and blend quite easily. The pencils that have the colour names along the shaft, do have the colour at the base; however, do completely swatch to gain the true hues. The set includes an excellent white - perfect for blending and softening, plus a very good black. The pencils sharpen smoothly without any breakages or splits and are comfortable to hold. Of course, one could always want more colours, but with a little patient layering, a variety of skin tones are achievable. The colours are different to those in the 72 pencil watercolour set, but there are similar colours to be found there, as can be seen with the horizontal comparison bars on the swatch. All round, an excellent starter set before investing in the 72 set, plus a great bonus is that Derwent have a skin tone tutorial page.
