Colored Pencil Set 72 pcs Derwent - Lightfast

The world's only 100% lightfast colored pencil is the oil-based Lightfast; it glides on like a dream, doesn't crumble, and provides excellent coverage! The color can be thinned with turpentine, for example, to turn it into an oil paint-like consistency! Lightfastness refers to the chemical stability of the pencil pigment when exposed to light for extended periods. Derwent Lightfast pencils are designed to be 100% lightfast, meaning the color of the pencil lead is durable and will not fade for 100 years under optimal conditions (i.e., museum conditions and archival-quality paper).

Thanks to their opacity, dark colors stand out well among lighter shades. Dark shades can be used, for example, for drawing outlines. Derwent Lightfast pencils are also very suitable for use on colored paper, thanks to their good opacity. The pigment content of these pencils is higher than other Derwent pencils.
