Colored Pencil Derwent Chromaflow Denim by Derwent — single pencil, shade 'Denim' (2306055)

Derwent Chromaflow Denim is a single artist-grade coloured pencil in the shade "Denim" from Derwent’s Chromaflow range. The pencil offers the familiar wood-cased form and smooth pigmented core designed for sketching, shading and detailed colouring. Supplied as an individual pencil, it is suitable for both studio work and on-the-go use where a compact selection of colours is required.

Advantages

The Chromaflow formula delivers good pigment laydown and a consistently smooth stroke that reduces friction and breakage. Its core is formulated to maintain colour intensity while allowing for layering and blending. The pencil’s standard diameter and lacquered barrel provide comfortable handling and easy sharpening with common artists’ sharpeners.

Suitable for

• Sketching and quick studies
• Shading and tonal work
• Detailing in illustrations and mixed-media pieces
• Travel and urban sketching where a single colour is needed

Key specifications

• Colour tone: Denim (blue-toned)
• Product type: Single wood-cased coloured pencil
• Core behaviour: Smooth, pigmented core for blending and layering
• Barrel: Lacquered wooden barrel for grip and durability
• Use: Suitable for dry techniques on paper and mixed-media supports

How to use

Use the Derwent Chromaflow Denim pencil for dry application on paper or mixed-media surfaces. Sharpen with a standard artist’s sharpener to expose a fine point for detailed work or a broader tip for softer shading. Apply light, even strokes for layering; build colour intensity gradually and blend strokes using gentle cross-hatching or a blending tool if desired. The pencil can be combined with other coloured pencils from the Chromaflow range for extended palettes.

Usage recommendations

Store capped or laid flat to avoid rolling and protect the point. To preserve the pigment quality, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and high humidity. For general sharpening, use a sharpener designed for coloured pencils to minimise core breakage.
