The perfect collection for large-scale art: a 12" x 16" Paper Pad and a tin of 36 Lightfast coloured pencils!

The portrait-orientated pad contains 20 sheets of superior quality 300gsm 100% cotton paper, hot-pressed using traditional methods to produce a smooth, naturally white paper. Acid-free, with no bleaching agents, and surface sized to provide strength, resistance to moisture, feathering and bleed-through.

The professional quality Lightfast pencils have attained a lightfast level of either LF1 or LF2, which means that they are considered fully compliant with the ASTM 6901 and Blue Wool Scale ISO 105 standards.

The oil-based core is resistant to prolonged colour change, ensuring museum-stored artwork stays as vivid after 100 years as it did when it was first created. The smooth, creamy laydown of opaque colour is compatible with oil mediums, and produces a paint-like effect when dissolved.

Strong point for ease of sharpening; ideal for detailed drawings. Round wood casing with a light lacquer. End-dipped with the core colour and stamped with 'Made in Britain' and 'Derwent Lightfast'.

The tin of 36 pencils contains one each of Sun Yellow, Champagne, Yellow Ochre, Sandstone, Flesh Pink, Salmon, Sienna, Scarlet, Ruby Earth, Oyster, Heather, Nightshade, Violet, Blue Violet, Mid Ultramarine, Arctic, Dark Turquoise, Mallard Green, Racing Green, Spruce Green, Olive Earth, Forest, Seaweed, Van Dyke Brown, Venetian Red, Sepia (Red), Natural Brown, Chocolate, Brown Ochre, Wheat, Warm Grey, Cloud Grey, Mist, Midnight Black, Black and White.
