This collection of pastel pencils from Derwent contains 48 stunning colours which have a soft, powdery texture producing a velvety finish ideal for blending, layering, erasing and all types of pastel work.  

The vast array of colours in this set allow artists to layer colours on top of each other in order to create new tints and hues and the wide colour strip is powdery and soft making mixing and blending easy and because it is encased in wood you can achieve the pastel effect without the mess. The pencils are beautifully presented in a two-tier wooden box with a light mahogany finish and features magnetic drawer backs ensuring the pencils don't fall out when the box is turned on its side.

Ideal for colourful portraiture and life studies.
