#FeaturedArtist

Jake Spicer

My name is Jake Spicer. I love to draw, and whenever possible I help other people to draw more confidently and competently through the books I write and through online & in-person classes. I live in North Wales where I run the Mawddach Residency with my partner Scarlett while leading the online programme for the independent drawing school Draw Brighton which I founded in 2009. Alongside teaching I write books about drawing, and lecture on the importance of drawing as a tool for communication, art-making and as a vehicle for social good. My personal work is often figure focused and I’m currently developing a new body of drawings based around the costal folklore of Britain and Ireland.

Inside the box

Derwent Lightfast Pencils

The legendary Derwent Lightfast pencils. These colouring pencils have been formulated, as the name suggests, to be 100% lightfast. The revolutionary core is resistant to prolonged colour change ensuring artwork will not fade for up to 100 years under museum conditions. These pencils are oil based which means you can get smooth, velvety laydown of colour. These pencils also lend themselves well when mixed with oil mediums, the pencil colour can behave more like an oil paint. The pigment in these pencils is far richer than the average pencil, meaning each colour colour will appear deeper. RRP £4.19 /each

Derwent Procolour Pencil

The perfect pencil for your underdrawing. Derwent Procolour Pencils feature extremely high levels of pigment saturation yet still have a firm tip which can retain a sharp point. They are designed to offer a harder, chip-resistant and dust-resistance. They offer a smooth colour laydown and a clear, non-waxy finish. These vibrant, Vegan-friendly coloured pencils have the covering power of a wax pencil yet glide like an oil-based pencil. RRP £2.45
