Derwent Chromaqua Watercolour Pencil Sets contain a selection of highly pigmented, watersoluble pencils designed to produce rich, vibrant colour in both dry and wet applications. Building on the colour intensity of Derwent Chromaflow, they offer a smooth, effortless colour laydown that is ideal for drawing, layering, blending, and shading. Colours can be applied directly from the pencil for bold, precise marks, or softened and transformed with water for a range of watercolour effects.
The highly soluble binder allows dry pencil marks to dissolve readily when activated with a wet brush, transforming drawn colour into smooth, fluid washes with minimal visible pencil lines. Artists can move between precise dry marks and watercolour effects within the same artwork, making Chromaqua suitable for detailed drawing, washes, layering, and mixed media techniques.
