This box was a tasty way to welcome the new year. It is filled with deep, rich colour pencils that got us thinking about something edible. In creating this box, we were inspired by our featured artist, Xuetong Wang. The supplies include: A Derwent blender pen, a set of Derwent fine artist’s pencils, a unique concertina sketchbook and the all important Pilot B2B recycled ballpoint pen to outline your work.

#FeaturedArtist

Xuetong Wang

Xuetong is an illustrator based in China, her work has received awards such as the Derwent Art Prize, American Illustration, Society of Illustrators and so on. She treats her illustrations as a method of communicating, using beauty, accuracy, and interest as the basis for her work.

“This piece was taken from my daily sketch project. I drew all different kinds of food every day using colored pencils. The organic feel of colored pencils and hands-on drawing brings a sense of freshness to the paper.”

Inside the box

Derwent Artist Colouring Pencils

Derwent’s Artist range of colouring pencils offer a colouring solution perfect for beginners and professional artists alike. These pencils have a broad, round barrel with a traditional wide core. As the lead is nice and thick, it makes them great for broader strokes, adding lashings of colour and for creating expressive drawings. They have a hard, break resistant core and a waxy texture which makes them ideal for layering and shading. This also allows for easy blending so you can create a vast range of different tints and new colours with ease.

Derwent Blending Pen, 4mm

Your new blending best buddy! The Derwent blending pen is a professional quality, alcohol based blender pen ideal for use with both colouring and graphite pencils. Use with a light hand for best results. This pen will become your go-to for smoothing out pencil lines, creating transitions between colours and ensuring an even colour application.

Pilot B2P Ballpoint Pen

An innovation in reducing their carbon footprint, the B2P Ballpoint Pen from Pilot is made with 94% recycled plastic components, specifically using PET from recycled drinks bottles. Featuring a high performance, oil based, quick drying blue ink it writes and draws smoothly for a comfortable drawing experience. The 1.0mm nib gives a 0.32mm medium line. It’s also worth noting that this pen can be refilled 3 times, another nod towards reducing their environmental impact.

Seawhite of Brighton Concertina Sketchbook

Contained within a sturdy carry case, this pocket sized (17.5cm x 9cm) sketchbook from Seawhite is ideal for sketching on the go. It features acid free, white cartridge paper with minimal texture, excellent for use with pencils, pens and most alcohol based mediums. Each page is 2 sheets joined together for extra stability. This sketchbook also has a unique layout-it folds all the way out! Use page by page or as one long canvas.
