Derwent Pastel Pencils

Derwent Pastel Pencils offer the soft, powdery charm of classic chalk pastels with the control, precision, and clean handling of a wooden pencil. Encased in round wooden barrels, they keep pigment off your hands while allowing you to sharpen the core for fine detail work that traditional pastel sticks often struggle to achieve.

Key Specifications & Build

Core & Barrel: Features a generous 4 mm powdery pastel core encased in a sturdy 8 mm round wooden barrel.

Texture & Firmness: They sit right in the "sweet spot" of pastel pencil hardness. They are softer and creamier than Faber-Castell Pitt Pastels, but firmer and less crumbling than Stabilo CarbOthello.

Dust Control: Designed to release pigment easily while producing significantly less airborne dust than traditional pastel sticks.
