Derwent Lightfast pencils are oil-based, smooth and creamy with a beautiful laydown of rich colour. They are easy to blend and layer, and can also be mixed with other mediums to create new colours or to create a painterly effect when dissolved. Being oil-based, they are compatible with oil mediums. The innovative thick core gives a dense colour application, which brings vibrancy to any drawing. Derwent Lightfast pencils are not water-soluble, so cannot be mixed with water. As an oil-based pencil, they can be mixed and thinned on the page with a solvent-based medium, just as with oil paints. All the colours in the Lightfast range are vegan-friendly. Formulated to be 100% lightfast, the colours won’t fade for up to 100 years under museum conditions. The smooth oil base of the core creates a rich vibrancy and can be mixed on the page to create paint-like effects.

Great for fine, detailed line work, these colours can also be used for bolder outlines or shadow work. Your colour range can be expanded by tinting and mixing colours directly on the paper surface, thus creating a more natural look to your work. Experience how pigments completely integrate to form a new and vibrant colour!

Product features:

  • 100% lightfast – all colours comply with internationally recognized lightfast testing standard ASTM D6901 as well as Blue Wool Scale ISO 105.
  • Oil-based core – buttery, velvety texture allowing complete integration of colours.
  • Can be mixed with other media (note: lightfastness might be compromised if mixed with other media).
  • Strong point for detailed drawing and layering techniques.
  • Ideal for use on coloured papers as well due to their opacity.
  • Pencils have a wide 4mm core & 8mm round barrel.
  • Available in 100 Colours.

 

For optimum performance of the pencils, note the following guidelines:

  • Use high-quality pH neutral heavyweight paper.
  • Create strong, even layers and avoid damaging the surface.
  • Avoid direct sunlight when exhibiting your work.
  • Consider mounting your work behind glass.
  • Lightfastness might be compromised if mixed with other media.
  • Handheld blade sharpeners work well with Lightfast, providing the blade is sharp.

Colour Disclaimer. Actual colours may vary since every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours and everyone sees these colours differently. We cannot guarantee that the colour you see accurately portrays the true colour of the product.

Lightfastness rating (LF) = 3,4 – FAIR, MODERATE | 5,6 – GOOD, VERY GOOD | 7,8 – EXCELLENT. V – Vegan-friendly.
Derwent uses the Blue Wool test (ISO 105) to evaluate lightfastness. Lightfastness refers to the chemical stability of a pigment under long exposure to light. A scale of 1-8 is obtained, with values of 6 or higher being considered to be highly lightfast and, under museum conditions, will not fade for 100+ years.

Description

The vivid colours are specially formulated to combat the effects of UVA radiation, 100% lightfast and guaranteed to last 100 years under museum conditions, it complies with both the ASTM D-6901 and Blue Wool Scale ISO 105. Strict testing for international lightfast standards is done in Arizona, US.

A note about lightfastness, this does not equate permanence, as other factors can affect the permanence of work such as humidity, temperature, atmospheric pollution, the reaction between chemicals and pigments, the paper being used, etc.

Being ideal for works on permanent display, it is perfect for professional artists as well as hobbyists who exhibit their work. Colour names and numbers are embossed in blue on each pencil for easy identification. The Easy-to-grip round barrels feel good in your hand and will fit standard pencil sharpeners.
