Colored pencil Derwent Chromaflow Deep Sea by Derwent — single pencil, oil-based core, shade 'Deep Sea'

Derwent Chromaflow Deep Sea is a single colored pencil with an oil-based core formulated for smooth, even colour laydown. This pencil delivers a saturated blue–green tone intended to expand palettes for illustration, sketching and mixed-media applications. Sold individually, the Chromaflow Deep Sea pencil is suitable for adding a specific deep aqua shade where controlled layering and blending are needed.

Advantages

The oil-based core provides consistent, creamy coverage and good colour intensity with minimal graininess. Its formulation allows smooth blending and controlled layering without excessive wax bloom. As a single pencil offering a distinctive deep sea hue, it is convenient for artists who need to match or extend colour ranges precisely without purchasing full sets.

Suitable for

• Illustration and character design requiring saturated blue–green tones
• Sketching and studies where a single accent colour is needed
• Mixed-media work combining pencil with ink, markers or water-soluble media
• Adding depth and shading in marine, landscape or botanical drawings

Key specifications

• Core type: oil-based for smooth, blendable application
• Colour tone: deep blue–green (Deep Sea)
• Packaging: sold as a single pencil

How to use

Use the Chromaflow Deep Sea pencil directly on paper or drawing board. Apply light, even strokes for base layers and increase pressure gradually for richer saturation. Blend tones with gentle cross-hatching or circular motions, or layer with compatible Derwent media to achieve smooth gradients. Sharpen with a standard quality sharpener to maintain a fine point for detailed work.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use on medium-tooth drawing paper or multimedia paper that supports layering. Combine with other Chromaflow pencils or oil-based coloured pencils for seamless blends. Store horizontally to preserve the pencil core and avoid extensive heat or humidity which can affect application.
