Derwent Graphitint is an exciting drawing pencil which combines the drama and creativity of the graphite medium with a hint of soft, subtle colour. Available in both 12 and 24 piece sets, Graphitint can be used wet or dry to produce an amazing range of tinted graphite effects. Graphitint has been enthusiastically received by all who have tried it, and will appeal to any artist seeking a new medium that is highly creative and a little bit different. Used dry like a conventional pencil, Graphitint produces soft tones of grey with just a suggestion of colour. Add water and the colours become far more vibrant. The colours can be lightened or removed with a soft eraser or by lifting out with a brush and clean water. Colour tints range from soft greys, blues and greens to glowing russets, plums and browns. All can be mixed and blended to produce even more subtle colour variations.
