Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence
“
” Henri Matisse
our inspiration
The Lake District, Cumbria, where generations of artists, poets and writers have been lured by its beautiful
valleys and dramatic peaks; landscapes that have inspired Ruskin and Wordsworth, the pathways of Wainwright
and the lakes of Swallows & Amazons.
It’s a land that has cradled the discovery of graphite and the development
of pencil making. Over the generations, The Cumberland Pencil Company has
evolved the simple pencil into a range of diverse and innovative products to
suit every kind of artist from aspiring amateur to dedicated professional.
What motivates us today, is not only our surroundings, but also seeing how
our customers create amazing results using our pencils, from simple sketches
to wonderful watercolours; intricate line-work to modern metallic effects.
You too can be inspired today … by using the world’s finest pencils - Derwent.

the world’s finest pencils
our heritageIn Borrowdale, under the roots of an upturned tree,
shepherds first discovered graphite. At first they
used it for marking their sheep
but 300 years later pencil
making in Cumbria
was thriving as a
cottage industry.
The Cumberland Pencil Company created its first
pencil in Keswick in 1832 and the first Derwent fine
art colour pencil was introduced in 1938.
our craftWe have a real passion for the art of pencil making
and it shows in every Derwent range. Each one
has been developed with a real commitment
to creating the perfect fine art pencil. So by
combining traditional pencil making skills, perfected
by generations of craftsmen, with pioneering
manufacturing techniques we are able to provide
a quality and consistency unsurpassed in the art
materials world.

our celebrationDerwent Pencils and pencil making in Cumbria
are, naturally, closely entwined. The Cumberland
Pencil Museum in Keswick
is a fascinating journey
through our unique
history and the history
of pencil making.
It will soon celebrate its 30th Anniversary
and is one of the most popular tourist attractions
in the Lake District.
our environmentOur factory is located in one of the most beautiful
parts of England and using pencils is a very natural
art-form, so we are doing all we can to minimise
our impact on the environment. We have reduced
our energy consumption, we recycle our sawdust
and we are using sustainable resources wherever
possible. Also, we have been awarded the Queen’s
Award for Enterprise for our unique solvent-free
paint application system which has greatly
improved the air quality.

Pencil to ink in just one washPen and ink offers strong, intense colour combined with a translucent effect.
Now you can enjoy these distinctive qualities in an easy to use pencil. Inktense has a highly blendable texture and comes in
a range of jewel-like colours, plus a non-soluble outliner which allows you to draw outlines that are permanent, even when
water is applied. Apply pure, vibrant dry colour then wash the pigment out completely to leave an ink-like effect. Once dry, the
colour is permanent and can be worked over with other media. The possibilities are endless, the results stunning.
Inktense pencils can be used on fabric to create interesting silk paintings and unique quilting projects.
Working with Inktense Pencils is pure
joy. When painting the peacock,
I found the luminescence of the
colours allowed me to build many
glazes of different colours to suggest
the luminosity of the peacock
feathers without the fear of any
colours lifting.

Vibrant strokes of ink-like colourThese chunky water-soluble ink blocks will bring a
new sense of freedom and colour to your drawing
and painting. Dry Derwent Inktense delivers pure
vibrant colour but when completely washed out it is
transformed into a translucent ink-like paint which,
when dry, can be worked over.
The blocks are extremely versatile and can be used
for a wide range of creative effects. You can use
them like pans of paint, dip them in water and
apply colour directly to the paper, use dry on their
side or apply directly to wet paper for instant
intense colour.
The blocks complement the Inktense range
perfectly opening up an exciting world of endless
possibilities. They can also be used on fabric to
create stunning silk paintings and quilts.
It’s really exciting to work with
Inktense in this format; being able
to work on a larger scale with this
wonderfully versatile product is
extremely inspiring. They are a
complete joy to use; there are so
many creative possibilities that
working with these Inktense blocks is
an adventure every time!

These Watercolour Pencils have a
softer texture and are easier to apply
than their predecessors resulting in
excellent coverage. The entire range
gives rich, deep, creamy, luxuriant
colours which prevail when water is
added. They perform admirably in
all applications...both wet and dry.
Consequently, they have earned a
permanent place beside my drawing
board.

The beauty of watercolour, the precision of pencilThe newly reformulated Watercolour pencil
means that the softer texture delivers improved
performance. More colour can be laid down quickly
with less effort and the washes go further, they
are stronger and more soluble. The colours in the
Watercolour range can also be found in the Artists
and Studio ranges.

Paint in a stickWatercolour pencils are amazingly versatile and Aquatone
offers four times more useable material than a wood cased
pencil. This solid stick of pure, water-soluble colour can be
used wet or dry, and you can apply broad sweeps of colour in
seconds. For even faster colour lay down, simply peel off the
protective wrapper and apply Aquatone on its side. Aquatone
will give you many hours of creative pleasure. Aquatone
colours are the same as those in the Watercolour pencil range
so they complement each other perfectly.

I build up tone and colour with a lot
of cross-hatching and like to work
on fairly smooth surfaces. I like the
individual colours and marks that
I use to be evident in the finished
work and, with these pencils, I feel
I have a great deal of control over
how much colour is put down at any
time. Derwent Artists pencils are
perfect for me - the range of colours
is superb, the barrels are a good size
and very comfortable for sustained
use - especially as my work can take
some time to complete!

Freedom of expression with the ultimate colour rangeThis is the first colour pencil Derwent ever
developed in the 1930s. Its traditional round
barrel and wide core makes it perfect for
broad strokes and free, expressive drawing.
Artists slightly waxy texture is ideal for
multiple layering and blending to produce
an infinite spectrum of subtly different
hues and tints. If you prefer a crisper, more
precise drawing style try our Studio pencil
range which has a slim hexagonal barrel
making it easy to grip. The Studio core is
identical to Artists so they complement
each other perfectly.

The hexagonal shape of Studio
pencils make them easy to hold
for complete control. I was able to
produce thinner lines than with
other Derwent pencils, and even
with a thinner line, Derwent Studio
maintains the same intensity of
colour. The colours in the range blend
together easily and help you reach
any result you can imagine.

Precise, perfect colourIf you like the texture and blendability of
Artists colour pencils, but prefer a crisper,
more precise drawing style, this pencil is
for you. Studio shares the same colour core
as Artists, but is slimmer and the wood barrel
is hexagonal rather than round. The result?
A colour pencil that is easy to grip and
particularly suited to detailed illustration
work, such as botanical studies,
architectural drawing and graphic design.
All these disciplines tend to be
studio-based – hence the name.

I choose Coloursoft pencils for their
quick build up, saturated colour and
their blendibility. Their soft leads
allow me to finish drawings quicker
and with intense results. Usually
I work in more traditional neutral
colours but I wanted to show how
brilliant the colours could be with
Derwent Coloursoft pencils. It was
great fun to let the colours of the
pencils shine.

Derwent’s new Pastel Pencils are a
major improvement on their previous
range. The same intense, vivid
pigments have been retained, with a
much improved binding agent that
allows multiple layering, including
adding darker layers over light ones.
These new and unique pastel pencils
also allow me to produce finer, more
detailed drawings than with any
other pastel pencils I have tried.
Pastel beauty, pencil controlNothing beats the colourful brilliance of pastels
but they’re not always the cleanest medium to
use. Now you can enjoy all the beauty of pastel
in a convenient, less messy form. These wood
cased Pastel Pencils have a soft, powdery
texture which produces a velvety smooth
finish, ideal for mixing and blending.
And because they’re pencils, they’re clean
and easy to control – although you may not
be able to resist the occasional smudge
with your finger!

Bold, broad colour at a strokeFor authentic pastel drawings with quick, easy colour lay down,
these chunky pastel blocks are perfect. Their square shape and
smooth, semi hard texture means you can use the ends, sides
or edges to produce both broad and fine lines. Although not
as powdery as soft pastels, the effect is equally beautiful and
the unique colourless Derwent Blending White allows you to
blend the colours easily without affecting their density.

Tiffany Budd
The new pastel blocks are a joy to work with. The textures of the pastels
are easy to blend softly and also draw fine tight lines. And great range of
colours as well!

than Derwent Graphic. This high quality pencil is produced in a
wide choice of degrees, from a crisp, non-scratchy 9H to a soft,
smudgy 9B. The hexagonal barrel is easy to hold and the pencil
sharpens to a good point, making it the ideal choice.

Black graphite pencils ideal for dark sketchesDerwent Onyx is made from smooth, dark
graphite and delivers dense, rich, jet- black
tones, darker than a Graphic 9B. Due to its
non-crumbly texture, the 4mm wide core
is capable of sharpening and holding a fine
point. This makes it equally good for quick
expressive sketches, as well as detailed
technical and architectural drawings. Darker
shades can be built up by applying increased
pressure. For lighter, more detailed artwork
apply less pressure. Available in two tones,
Medium and Dark.

Nothing beats graphite for drama

Water-soluble graphite in a stickIf you like working in graphite, you’ll love
Watersoluble Graphitone. It’s a pencil-shaped

which can be used just like a conventional pencil
or broken into chunks to create broad sweeps of
tone or subtle graphite washes. Graphitone is easy
to use as its protective wrap simply peels away to
expose as much or as little graphite as you need.
And because the entire stick is 100% useable
material, it’s very economical too!

I have lots of pencils and I love them
all, but I think I love my Graphitint
pencils best of all! With a smooth
drawing feel and a lovely subdued
colour tone in the dry state, they
explode with excitement when you
add water. I use dry for subtle colour,
washed to create tone, wet in wet for
a bright statement, or even mixed
with graphite pencils for great effects
- they are extremely versatile and a
joy to use.

Subtle dry tones, deep rich washes
If you’d like to introduce some colour to your
graphite drawings, this pencil does it all!
Used dry, Graphitint provides just a hint of colour
but adding water literally transforms the tint into
rich, vibrant colour. Graphitint has the same
properties as our 4B Watersoluble Sketching
pencil so it will appeal to artists looking to add a
colourful dimension to their graphite drawings
but retain all the familiar qualities of their

Tinted charcoal is a great addition to
the Derwent range of charcoal. The
dark subtle colours can be extended
with the use of white into a lovely
range of muted tones. The pencils
can be sharpened for detailed work
and smudged and blended for a
lovely range of effects. They can give
crisp sharp lines or soft misty areas
to give lively or soft aspects to
your drawing.

The Fur and Feather PencilThis is drawing at its most natural, both in the exquisite
colour range and the creative potential of this unique pencil.
Drawing has an extra wide, creamy textured core which
produces a beautifully soft, velvety finish. It is the perfect
medium for wildlife and nature studies, and is seen by
many artists as the ideal pencil to draw ‘fur & feather’.
But it is also ideal for rich subtle landscapes and deep,
thoughtful portraits.

which is supplied to the fibre brush via a
valve. The flow of water is controlled by
slight pressure on the barrel when the brush

squeeze the barrel of the pen lightly, and to
clean it simply apply pressure to the barrel
and the dirty water will work its way out of
the brush. Available with a medium or small

BlenderIf you want to create a subtle blend of
colours then the Derwent Blender is the
ideal accessory. The Blender pencil is a soft
colourless pencil made from the binder
used for coloured pencils. It allows you
to blend two or more colours together to
create a new colour. At the same time it
physically mixes and smoothes the colours
so individual strokes and hard edges are
softened. Available individually or in a
blister containing 2 of each of the blender
and burnisher plus an eraser and sharpener.
BurnisherThe Derwent Burnisher is a hard colourless
pencil which when used over layers of
pigment provides a rich polished finish.
Burnishing pushes the pigment into the
paper and leaves a well blended, photo like
finish. By sealing the image with a heavy
layer of colourless wax it gives the image
a polished or reflective look and makes
the colours appear brighter. Available
individually or in a blister containing 2 of
each of the blender and burnisher plus an
eraser and sharpener.

Painting PencilsOne of the most exciting developments
in art has been the introduction of
water-soluble colour pencils – and
our Lakeland version was one of the
first. Lakeland Painting can be used
dry just like normal colour pencils, but
brush over your drawing with a wetted
paintbrush and it magically turns into
a painting.
Lakeland pencils have been firm
favourites with generations of children
and it’s easy to see why. They combine
consistently high quality with excellent
value for money, and there’s a great
choice of products too! From chunky,
easy grip pencils for toddlers to ultra
slim colour pencils for detailed work,
Lakeland is the brand to trust.

Graphite PencilsSketching is one of the simplest but
most enjoyable pastimes for children
of all ages. Lakeland Graphite provides
the ideal introduction to this rewarding
pursuit. It has a slim hexagonal barrel
so it does not roll off the desk and
comes in five versatile degrees to suit all
types of drawing. For younger children,
Lakeland Jumbo has a large hexagonal
barrel and break resistant graphite core.

Colouring PencilsOne of the earliest pleasures in life is colouring, whether
you’re creating your own works of art or simply using a
colouring book.
There are three pencil sizes to choose from; Lakeland
Colouring is a traditional, round colour pencil with
a smooth 3.3mm colour core that can be mixed and
blended to create a rainbow of different hues. Lakeland
Colourthin is ideal for older children. It has a slim
hexagonal barrel and slightly thinner core than Lakeland
Colouring, making it perfect for more detailed work.
And for the little ones, Lakeland Jumbo’s 11mm diameter
barrel is specially designed for small hands to grip.

Cumberland HighlighterHighlighters are great but can be a bit
messy. This one is different. The Cumberland
Highlighter has a strong, break resistant core
of luminous colour which effectively highlights
text and images yet can be erased if required.
It won’t smudge on the page or stain your
clothes or fingertips and, because it’s a
pencil, there’s no cap to lose or ink to dry out.
Environmentally friendly
and completely solvent free,
the Cumberland Highlighter
offers a gentler but equally
effective alternative.
Cumberland GraphiteIf you’re looking for a traditionally made,
competitively priced, general purpose graphite
pencil, then look no further. Cumberland
Graphite comes in a full range of degrees, from
4H to 6B, including the specialist F degree for
shorthand users. This quality pencil is ideal
for all types of drawing and sketching and for
everyday writing there’s a standard HB pencil
and an eraser tipped version.
