Derwent Academy Watercolor Pencils offer an ideal introduction to the world of paint and wash for kids of all ages. It’s really like having two types of pencils in one. Draw your subject with a dry pencil. Then shave off a little of the color from the pencil and dissolve it in water. Now you have the perfect wash. Blend the colors together to create new ones and incorporate found items from your surroundings into your work like salt, paper and photographs to add areas of interest.
