To complement their new Colour Collection 24 tin launched earlier this year, Derwent is delighted to announce that the other products in the Colour Collection family, the 12 and 36 tins and the wooden box, are now being re-launched with a whole new look and updated contents.

The new Derwent Colour Collections make an ideal introduction to the versatile world of colour pencil drawing. They feature a balanced assortment of colour pencils from 3 of Derwent’s most popular ranges, Coloursoft, Studio and Metallic plus a number of complementary accessories. Each pencil range and accessory item has been chosen to showcase a different drawing style, creative effect or technique.

Coloursoft, the UK’s softest colour pencil, is one of Derwent’s newest colour pencils and its soft velvety core releases rich colour quickly making it perfect for bold contemporary drawings. The Studio Pencil is one of Derwent’s classics. With its slim core and hexagonal barrel it is easy to grip and particularly suited to detailed illustrative work such as botanical studies and architectural drawings.

The Derwent Metallic Pencil, on the other hand, is highly reflective and can be used on its own or with other media to add brilliant definition and glowing highlights. Each assortment also includes the Derwent Burnisher and Derwent Blender perfect for giving your colour drawings a smooth polished finish.

The larger assortments also feature an eraser and metal sharpener.

The new Derwent Colour Collection is available in assortments of 12, 24 and 36 all presented in handy storage tins plus there is a beautiful wooden presentation box containing 32 assorted pencils and accessories.

The assortments also have a smart new contemporary look with a striking green background and 3 new drawings by Suzy Herbert of Autumn Leaves, Grapes and Horse Chestnuts, which perfectly illustrate the versatility of the colour pencils in the collection.
