Derwent Chromaflow Pencils 

(Slate Grey, Lagoon, Carolina Blue, Caribbean Green, Light Mauve and Saffron Mango)

These Derwent Chromaflow pencils guarantee bold, vibrant and saturated colour for any project. These pencils are wax based, offering a rich and creamy lay-down specially designed to layer and blend in a smooth and velvety finish. They are formulated with rich pigments that will show up not only on white papers but toned papers as well (even on black!) and the 3.5mm premium strength core ensures its durability during sharpening and during extensive use. During the manufacturing process, glue is applied to the entire length of the pencil slat, to make sure the core stays in place and to minimise any breakage that may interrupt your creative flow. These pencils are sure to provide an expressive colour range for all of your artistic endeavours.

Sketching
Hold the Pencil Correctly. Hold the pencil further back for light sketching and closer for detailed work, using your whole arm for smoother lines.

Burnishing
This technique is achieved by building up multiple layers of pencil, working from light to full pressure, until there no sign of paper underneath. This also creates a sheen that is very difficult to work back into – burnishing is your final step.
