Pastels are usually all about getting your hands dirty but not with Derwent Pastel Pencils!

The wide colour strip is powdery and soft so mixing and blending is really easy and because it's encased in wood you get the pastel effect without the mess (if you can resist using your fingers to blend!)

All the beauty of a pastel with the convenience and control of a pencil. The soft powdery texture produces a smooth velvety finish, ideal for blending and colour mixing.
