Derwent Watercolour Collection Tin of 12

The Derwent Watercolour Collection Tin of 12 brings together a versatile mix of Derwent water-soluble pencils and Inktense blocks, making it an ideal compact set for artists exploring watercolour techniques, mixed media or vibrant ink-like colour. This curated 12-piece tin gives you a practical introduction to watercolour pencils, Inktense pencils, and Inktense blocks – perfect for sketching, layering, washes, and bold colour work. The set contains (
subject to variation)
:
3 Watercolour Pencils – Sky Blue, Raw Umber, Ivory Black
3 Inktense Pencils – Cadmium Orange, Fuchsia, Apple Green
6 Inktense Blocks – Deep Indigo, Sepia Ink, Poppy Red, Felt Green, Sun Yellow, Sea Blue
This collection is designed to encourage experimentation. The watercolour pencils offer controlled, delicate washes that are easy to build up, while the Inktense pencils create rich, permanent colour once activated with water – useful for layering without muddiness. The Inktense blocks provide broader, more expressive applications and can be used wet or dry for anything from quick background washes to textured mark-making.
Because each medium responds differently when water is added, this set suits artists who want to explore a range of effects without investing in larger ranges straight away. The compact tin also makes it a thoughtful gift for anyone starting out in watercolour or looking for a small, travel-ready selection.
