Chromaflow colour pencils have a wide spectrum of rich, highly pigmented colours delivering a smooth colour laydown, making blending, layering and shading easy.

While inferior pencils can break, damaging artwork, the premium core strength of Chromaflow pencils (3.5 mm core) can handle pressure when sharpening and in use. As each pencil is made, glue is applied to the entire length of the pencil slat, keeping the core in place and leading to less breakage and a more enjoyable creative process.

Crafted by Derwent in its U.K. manufacturing plant, Chromaflow pencils reflect a rich heritage of quality craftmanship dating back to 1832, with each pencil checked for colour accuracy and consistency before leaving the plant. Whether you’re colouring, sketching or free drawing, enjoy beautiful, reliable results from professional artist-quality Chromaflow colour pencils.

“As an industry-leading art supplies brand, Derwent is continually focused on developing high quality art products like Chromaflow colour pencils that bring innovation and creative opportunities to our consumers at an affordable price,” says Anna Clarke, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing, Fine Arts and Crafts. “Although Chromaflow colour pencils are perfect for artists of all levels, we are excited to be releasing this range at a time when things are opening up again and budding artists are finally heading back to school.”

“I loved working with the Chromaflow pencils,” shares longtime Derwent user Lisa Clough Lachri, of Lachri Fine Art. “They hold up really well and are great for people just starting out in the medium. I also think that these are a really good pencil for professional artists to use in their sketchbooks.”

The set of 12 pencils ($24.99 MSRP) includes the following colours: Sun Yellow, Flame, Scarlet, Blush Pink, Lilac, Denim, Blue, Basil, Grass Green, Natural Brown, Black and White.

The set of 24 pencils ($49.99 MSRP) includes the following colours: Sun Yellow, Amber Gold, Golden Sun, Flame, Scarlet, Strawberry, Salmon, Blush Pink, Magenta, Lilac, Violet, Denim, Blue, Light Blue, Turquoise, Basil, Foliage, Grass Green, Burnt Sienna, Raisin, Natural Brown, Platinum, Black and White.
