Description
The Derwent Lightfast 72 Colour Pencils Tin is designed for professional artists who require maximum colour permanence, performance, and reliability.
Formulated to be 100% lightfast, these pencils ensure artwork will not fade for up to 100 years under museum conditions. Each colour has been rigorously tested to meet internationally recognised standards, making them ideal for archival-quality work.
Featuring a revolutionary oil-based core, Lightfast pencils deliver a smooth, buttery texture that allows for seamless blending, layering, and colour mixing directly on the page. The rich pigments provide a strong, opaque laydown, enabling artists to achieve a paint-like effect with precision.
