Charcoal art with a twist, Derwent's brand new Tinted Charcoal Paint Pan Set is uniquely formulated with hints of colour and a matte finish, all whilst being water-soluble, allowing you to create a range of dramatic effects by blending, layering, smudging and more!

Dramatic detail

Derwent collaborated with Robert Dutton for their packaging artwork. Robert adopts an expressive and contemporary style, and his artwork is always atmospheric and dramatic.

They developed an illustration that demonstrated how the dramatic, moody effects of the Tinted Charcoal Set differ from their Graphitint paint set, which is a palette of more muted tones.
