This was one of the first questions I wanted to know the answer to when I started using them. At the time, for some reason I thought it was highly unlikely due to their chalky and dusty composition. However, I am happy to report that if the same thought have troubled you about the medium, then trouble no more. Derwent Pastel pencils have an excellent lightfast rating right across their extensive range. These Derwent Pastel Pencils can be mixed and painted like traditional pastel chalks, but they offer increased control, especially in detail work. The wooden shaft provides comfortable and easy handling. The colours are intense and brilliant.
