    Derwent Lightfast Pencil Chart

    I get treated very well on my birthday and on Christmas. (And really, most of the rest of the year, too.) But this past birthday was extra special: I received such a glorious gift that I think the angels sang when I opened the box. Inside was a set of 72 Derwent Lightfast Colored Pencils. <swoon>

     

    Now, few months later, and I’m in colored pencil heaven. I’ve used these babies to create several lovely pieces of art on drafting film. But recently, the longing set in. I knew that Derwent had added 28 additional colors, and I HAD to get the rest of the set.

     

    As of this writing, the full boxed sets of Derwent Lightfast pencils are not available in the U.S. market. But thanks to the folks at Cult Pens in the UK, those of us who live across the pond can top-off our 72-pencil Lightfast sets with “The missing 28,” too. (And those 28 are even sold in a bundle.) My pencils arrived lightning-fast yesterday and I’ll be starting soon on a new project with 100 pencils to choose from.

     

    But the very first thing I do with any new set of pencils is to create a color chart that I keep on file and use to help me select colors when working on a project. And with 28 new colors, I had to create a new chart.

     

    I did that for myself yesterday, and thought, hey, maybe some other folks would like a copy, too.

     

    So I’m happy to share. Download the Derwent Lightfast 100 Chart.

     

    Whether you have 36, 72, or the full 100 pencils, this chart should work great for you.

     

    Enjoy! Have fun, and let me know what YOU think of the Derwent Lightfast line!

      Thanks for the chart! I was a happy gal on Christmas morning when I found a box of 100 Derwent Lightfast pencils under the tree. Now I’ll get right to work on the chart!

        I love my Lightfasts! I use them with my Luminance pencils and have an incredible range of Lightfast colors to choose from.
