Derwent Graphitint Pencils offer a unique fusion of graphite and subtle colour, giving artists a fresh and expressive way to explore tone, texture, and mood. Ideal for mixed media and water-soluble techniques, these innovative pencils add an atmospheric twist to traditional graphite drawing.

When used dry, Graphitint pencils lay down like smooth graphite, enhanced with a soft, muted tint of colour. As such, they’re perfect for sketching and shading with just a hint of warmth or coolness. However, once you apply water, the magic begins—transforming the subtle tint into rich, shimmering washes that retain a graphite sheen. This transformation adds depth and character to your artwork, elevating even the simplest sketch.

Moreover, the muted colour palette works beautifully for natural subjects such as landscapes, wildlife, or urban sketching. With both warm and cool tones available, you can create balanced compositions with ease. As you layer, granular textures emerge, and once dry, you can lift or adjust areas for added control. Whether you use clean water or a soft eraser, the flexibility of these pencils allows for endless experimentation.

In short, Derwent Graphitint Pencils combine subtle colour, graphite texture, and water-reactive versatility—making them a must-have for artists seeking mood, movement, and creative freedom.

Whether used alone or combined with other Derwent mediums like Inktense, Charcoal, or Watercolour pencils. Graphitint opens up new creative possibilities for artists seeking subtlety and sophistication in their work.
