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.

Its 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 worlds finest pencils - Derwent.

inktense blocks
Vibrant strokes of
ink-like colour
This year sees the Inktense Blocks range extended to
72 colours widening your painting possibilities.
These 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.

They can also be used on fabric to create

stunning silk paintings and quilts.

Pencil to ink in just one wash

Pen 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.

Make your own mark

With a beautiful creamy consistency, these
triangular bars of solid, highly pigmented
colour offer the artist so much creative
potential. They feel luxuriously smooth
as they release consistently rich, deep
pigment. The wax based bars are also
completely water-soluble and dry marks
almost seem to melt under your brush.
Used either dry or wet, Artbar opens up a
world of expressive mark making and rich
opaque colour.

Watercolour pencils are amazingly versatile and Aquatone

offers four times more useable material than a wood cased

Freedom of
expression with
the ultimate
colour range
This 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.

Precise, perfect
colour
If 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.

texture which produces a velvety smooth
finish, ideal for mixing and blending.
And because theyre pencils, theyre clean
and easy to control although you may not
be able to resist the occasional smudge
with your finger!
Pastel pencils are extremely popular for
portrait work, so we have put together

Bold, broad colour

For 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

as powdery as soft pastels, the effect is equally beautiful and
the unique colourless Derwent Blending White allows you to

Black graphite pencils ideal

for dark sketches
Derwent 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,

The Fur and Feather Pencil
This 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.

Erasers
An eraser for every artist. A range of highly effective erasers developed specifically for
artists. Each eraser will suit a different way of working, yet all offer impressive smudge free
erasing.
The Art Eraser is an all round general use eraser that works well with all kinds of pencils; the
Soft Art Eraser is as the name suggests, softer than its sibling. It contains charcoal for gentle

For those that prefer a different grip, the Shaped Erasers are easy to hold and control,

a convenient pen shape with a comfort grip. (Replacements are available separately) The
Kneadable Eraser is perfect for lifting out tone and colour, it is soft and pliable and comes in
wax paper to help keep it fresher for longer.

For everyday use the Plastic eraser can remove graphite and unwanted marls, the Pencil

Paper surface
The most important aspect of the development of our new watercolour paper
was to create a surface that welcomes both pencils and water.
A rough surface is not suitable for pencil work as the texture of the paper
interferes with the drawing. The areas of rough texture will leave a white mark
which means it takes a lot more effort to cover the paper.
Pencils need a smooth surface with the perfect amount of tooth in the surface
to pick up the pigment from the pencil as it glides over the smooth surface
with ease.
