They Derwent aquarelles of that time and they are excellent in pigment quality. Only the pencil casing has changed. <br /><br />Thank you for your comment.<br /><br />I teach a workshop called "purely pencils" where we explore all different grades, qualities and typse of pencil. Starting with my favourite graphites we do a series of exercises so we can learn the full potentiial of "the humble pencil". Now there is a though for a workshop name ... the Humble Pencil. After all ... everything starts with a pencil!<br /><br />I am never without mine! :-)Gemma Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630138318071963976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500502941952857929.post-21211493529520717522012-03-31T06:46:09.740+11:002012-03-31T06:46:09.740+11:00hello,

Your posts and arts are beautiful, both calligraphy and books. <br /><br />I saw these watercolour pencils and have never seen these gray ones before. I am guessing that you love them? Could you tell me where they are sold? I love Derwent Inktense pencils. <br /><br />lovely day and beyond to you.Tammie Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279605745446513635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500502941952857929.post-52496670997130610502012-02-08T15:48:37.512+11:002012-02-08T15:48:37.512+11:00Thank you Fiona, Elaine & Cari.

"Just give them one of the high quality prints!" But no they said, and I am glad now. There was some hot shuffling going on there for a while but I did it. <br /><br />I think it is time to break out though!
