Derwent Watercolour Pencil – Scarlet Lake 12

That deep, slightly cool red-orange you keep reaching for and never quite finding in a standard red or orange? That's Scarlet Lake. The Derwent Scarlet Lake 12 draws like a pencil, then opens into a rich watercolour wash when you add water – no chalky residue, no patchy coverage. Hexagonal barrel keeps it steady in your hand, whether you're doing fine detail work or sweeping across a broad wash. Part of the Derwent watercolour range, so it sits cleanly beside every other shade you own. Add to cart and sort that colour gap today
