Graphitint

Graphite Pencils with a Hint of Colour

If you’d like to introduce some colour to your graphite drawings, this pencil does it all! Used dry, Graphitint provides just a hint of colour but adding water literally transforms the tint into rich, vibrant colour. It’s available in a range of 24 subtle shades, from soft greys, blues and greens to glowing russets, plums and browns. Graphitint will appeal to artists looking for something a little bit different but with all the familiar qualities of their favourite graphite pencils.

This round 8mm diameter pencil with a wide 4mm strip has the same physical properties as our 4B watersoluble sketching pencil but with the added benefit of colour. Derwent Graphitint combines the drama and creativity of a graphite pencil with a hint of soft, subtle colour. Used dry, Graphitint offers the merest suggestion of colour; add water and the colour becomes more vibrant. Colour tints range from soft greys, blues and greens to glowing russets, plums and browns. The creative possibilities are infinite.

We sell Graphitint in tins of 12 and 24.
