Description
The Derwent Lightfast 100 Colour Pencils Tin is a complete professional-grade set, designed for artists who demand the highest level of colour permanence, performance, and range.
Formulated to be 100% lightfast, these pencils ensure artwork remains vibrant for up to 100 years under museum conditions. Each colour has been rigorously tested against internationally recognised standards, making this set ideal for archival and exhibition-quality work.
