We stock a large range of Fine Art Pencils, Graphite, Charcoal and Drawing Media, most of which are produced by Derwent, and are available individually or in pre-selected “collections”. The collections are more economical and provide a good mix of colour for the artist. Some collections are aimed at the user / artist while others are beautifully packaged in wooden boxes with gifts or treats in mind.

Derwent Studio Pencils
Studio pencils are made with only the finest lightfast non-toxic pigments. They hold their point longer, and resist the tendency to crumble. The relative dryness of the pencils enhances their blendabililty. Greater handling ease due to the hexagonal shape, with colour-coded tips. Full range of colour, sold individually.

Daler Rowney Black Beauty Pencil
Extra thick hexagonal black pencil (equal to 4B).
Chinagraph Pencils
Chinagraph pencils are ideal for temporary marking of any non-porous surface and can easily be removed with a dry cloth. The core is a wax-based medium providing a bright and opaque mark, ideal for use in photography and in many institutional and industrial situations where attention needs to be drawn to a particular area of an item or image. The core is fine enough to permit hand-written text, making them the perfect marker for white boards and non-porous message boards. Chinagraph pencils can also be used as a “resist” in art & craft applications, as the wax base will repel water based mediums.
Charcoal PencilsNatural charcoal
particles
mixed with finest clay and encased in cedar wood barrels. Sold individually in 3 grades light, medium and dark, they are ideal for studies and life drawing.
