Derwent Coloursoft
At Pegasus we are delighted to welcome onto our
shelves the new range of Coloursoft blendable crayons from Derwent. These lovely coloured pencils
have deep, velvety colour at their heart.
The special core is softer than any
other coloured pencil, but can still be sharpened to a fine point for detailed
work, as well as for more broad, sweeping strokes. The pencils are made from
sustainable incense cedar, which sharpens consistently. The soft core texture
allows the build up of subtle blended effects. There are 72 rich colours in the range.
Artists have told us that Coloursoft are close to the now discontinued Karisma coloured pencil range that was so popular
Coloursoft pencils are available singly, and in
tins of 12, 24, 36 and 72.The same range is also available in beautiful wooden
presentation boxes Maple Box of 18 colours, Wooden Box of 24,
and the larger very special box of 72.
There is also a specially selected 'Skintones' tin
of six colours; Cream, Blush Pink, Pink, Ochre, Dark Terracotta and Brown
Earth, enabling artists to create life-like skin tones.
