100% Lightfast Oil-Based Coloured Pencils

Derwent Lightfast pencils have been formulated to be one hundred percent lightfast. The innovative core is resistant to colour change, ensuring artwork will not fade under museum conditions for up to 100 years.

These artist-grade oil-infused pencils have smooth, velvety cores that put down solid, opaque colours and dry-mix well to create new colours—offered in an array of vibrant colours and sets.andnbsp;

Every Derwent Lightfast Coloured Pencil satisfies the international lightfast testing standard, ASTM D6901 and Blue Wool Scale ISO 105. A scale of 1 - 5 is obtained, with values 1 and 2 considered highly lightfast.

Rather than limiting your palette to the choices straight out of the tin, expand your colour range by tinting and mixing colours directly on the paper surface. This will create a more natural look to your work and form a new and vibrant colour.

The thick core of Derwent Lightfast allows for dense and even colour application.
