Derwent Lightfast Pencils – 100-Colour Tin | Archival Oil-Based Colours

You've been working with pencils that fade within a year. Or cores that crumble the moment you press down. You shouldn't have to pick between a colour that lasts and one that feels good on paper.

This 100-pencil tin gives you the full Derwent Lightfast spectrum in one go. The oil-based core lays down butter-smooth, velvety colour that blends into itself without any rubbing or solvents. Pick up a paintbrush, load it with medium, and drag it straight across your paper or canvas for a genuine paint-like finish.

Every core is rated 100% lightfast — resistant to colour change for up to 100 years under museum conditions. That's not a marketing line. It means the piece you finish this term, or this afternoon, still looks the same when someone holds it up in a decade.

One tin. Every shade. No hunting through single pencils to find that one warm ochre you need for the background wash
