Derwent's Pastel Pencils provide all the subtle beauty of a pastel, with the convenience of a pencil. Dust is kept to a minimum, and they can be sharpened just like any other pencil. You have more control over your work: a sharp point lends itself to outlines and more intricate detail, while allowing it to become more blunt gives a wider coverage.

The soft, powdery texture produces a smooth, velvety finish and blends perfectly. They're also water-soluble.
