About this material
Derwent Lightfast is an oil-based colored pencil made by Derwent in the UK. The range focuses on lightfastness, which means the colors resist fading in light. Every color is rated to last up to 100 years without fading under museum conditions. The soft lead lays down opaque, bright color.
The range has 100 colors. Sets come in tins of 12, 24, 36, 72, and 100 colors, and in a wooden box of 100 colors. Single pencils are also sold.
The lead is made for easy layering and blending. It does not dissolve in water.
