Pastels are usually about getting your hands dirty, but not with Derwent Pastel Pencils!

The Derwent Pastel Pencils are designed with a contemporary and environmentally friendly matt red barrel with silver imprint and range stripe.

The wide colour strip is powdery and soft, so mixing and blending is effortless, and because it's encased in wood, you get the pastel effect without the mess (if you can resist using your fingers to blend!)

Derwent Pastel Pencils offer all the expressive qualities of hard pastels in the convenience of a pencil form. These professional-quality pencils are ideal for use as an individual medium or for detailing in combination with pastel work.

Derwent Pastel Pencils have been specially developed to provide only the highest degree of purity and lightfastness. Their soft, powdery texture offers a smooth velvet finish.
