Derwent Inktense Pencil – Poppy Red (0400) | Water-Soluble Art Pencil

You need a red that actually commits. Not a wash-out, not a smudge that fades by Tuesday. Poppy Red lays down smooth, soft pigment dry — then you add water and it locks in as permanent ink. That's the whole trick. Layer it, blend it, work it on paper, ceramic, wood or fabric without guessing whether it'll hold. One pencil, two ways to draw. Add to cart and get back to making

• Water-soluble core: draw dry for soft, blendable lines or activate with water for vibrant ink
• Dries permanently once activated — no smudging, no re-fixing
• Soft texture gives smooth, even application without heavy pressure
• Highly blendable for clean gradients and layered colour builds
• Works on paper, ceramic, wood and fabric
