If I had $1 for every time I’ve heard people asking for these in more colors…KZread, Facebook groups, Reddit, Twitter…artists literally everywhere want them in a wider range. So strange that Derwent doesn’t add more earthy muted colors to this line. You could easily expand to 48 colors and keep it with a landscape palette. We should all be writing to Derwent or something. Money waiting to be made, Derwent! 😬

There are primaries and brights aplenty in other ranges and I love this set just as it is!

They are gorgeous and subtle. It has been said (in the context of Beethoven's composition techniques and style) that one of the most important features of art is limitation, or the sense of what to leave out, just as important as what to include. The only thing I would say this set needs, for its wonderful nature study potential, is a little more green range, or else the means to make some more greens. I have been wanting to move in that direction, going for exact natural tones and the moods they invoke (November in the soul, as Melville said), and I am thinking about this set of pencils and toned papers, greys and browns and cream. Sorry for chattering on, but I sometimes am really struck by how all the arts have emotions under them that ring the same no matter what the medium is, and a color set like this can provide that awareness.

@CautionArtistatPlay

4 ай бұрын

There is no need to apologize, I like in-depth dialog when it comes to the arts. I agree with what has been said about art and limitation. I actually think that limitation often breeds more creativity. It, at the very least, forces us to do some creative problem solving and can lead to some pretty interesting, outside of the box, thinking. It seems counterintuitive, but setting limits is also a great way to get oneself out of a period of art block. Sometimes, having too many options can be overwhelming. And, of course, setting limits within a piece of art can lead to a sense of cohesion, amongst other qualities. As someone who loves creating landscapes, I would love to see more greens as well! I think that is definitely an area of potential growth for this range. Toned paper compliments these pencils beautifully, and these pencils layer well on a toned background. I love using them on Canson Mi-Teintes!

When using them with acrylics, you will want to use them on top of the acrylics. Since acrylics are a water-based medium, the wax of the pencil would likely resist the paint if you were to layer acrylics on top of the pencil. They would likely work best on a matte acrylic. If it's a glossy acrylic, it may not accept the layers as easily. I find this technique also works better on paper than on canvas. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching! 💖

This identifies the week that batch was made. From that, we can trace the exact details of when the pencils were manufactured: the day, the operator, the machine, etc." So I believe those are just codes the manufacturer uses.
