Derwent Watersoluble Sketching Pencil HB

You've got a rough sketch on the page and you want it to become something more — a wash, a soft gradient, a finished study — without reaching for a separate watercolour set. This is that one tool. The Derwent Watersoluble HB pencil has a wide strip that lays down a clean line for quick loose sketches, then you wet the tip of a brush and pull it through. The pigment blooms into a wash right on the page. No layering, no waiting for inks to dry. Artists, art students, and anyone who sketches at the kitchen table grab this when they want the pencil-and-water step done in one go

• HB grade — balanced hardness for both confident line work and light tonal shading
• Wide strip core lays down a broad, even mark without breaking under pressure
• Watersoluble pigment: add water with a brush to turn a dry sketch into a soft wash
• No separate watercolour needed — one pencil covers sketch and wash in the same session
• Suited to artists, students, and classroom art programs
