Derwent Chromaflow Pencil Black 6pc

Derwent Chromaflow Pencil Black is a pack of 6 individual Black (2300) artist coloured pencils from Derwent's highly regarded Chromaflow range, handcrafted in England with a heritage of quality dating back to 1832. The Black Chromaflow delivers a deep, rich, highly pigmented black with the characteristic smooth, creamy laydown that defines the Chromaflow range, making it an outstanding choice for bold line work, deep shadow development, tonal rendering and mixed media applications in secondary art and drawing programs.

The wax-based 3.5mm core is formulated to deliver a velvety, consistent laydown with excellent colour intensity across both light and heavy application. Unlike graphite pencils, the Chromaflow Black lays down a pure, warm-toned black without the reflective sheen of graphite, making it particularly effective for deep, matte shadow areas and rich dark tones in coloured pencil, mixed media and illustrative work. The smooth texture allows for effortless layering and blending, with each layer building cleanly over the last without muddying.

The premium core strength of the Chromaflow range sets it apart from many coloured pencils at a similar price point. Glue is applied along the entire length of the pencil slat during manufacturing, bonding the core firmly in place and significantly reducing breakage during sharpening and in use. This reliability makes Chromaflow pencils a particularly practical choice for classroom settings, where consistent performance and durability are essential.

The Black Chromaflow is a versatile single-colour pack suited to a wide range of studio applications. It works beautifully for outline work, shadow rendering, gestural mark-making and dark tone development in coloured pencil compositions. It also performs well used alongside graphite, charcoal, Posca markers and other drawing media in mixed media works, and is erasable, allowing for adjustments and highlight lifting within the drawing process.

Suitable for secondary and senior art students across visual arts, illustration and mixed media programs, Derwent Chromaflow Pencil Black 6pc is a professional quality, classroom-ready supply that brings the performance of the Chromaflow range into any drawing and colouring practice.

Derwent Chromaflow Pencil Black is best used on paper with some tooth or texture, as the wax-based core grips the paper surface for optimal laydown and blending. Keep the pencil sharp for precise line work and detailed mark-making, and use light to medium pressure for initial layers, building up to heavier pressure for deep, rich tonal coverage. The pencil is erasable and can be partially lifted using a kneadable eraser for tonal adjustment and highlight recovery. Chromaflow pencils are compatible with all other Derwent pencils and can be blended and layered alongside Coloursoft, Procolour and other Derwent ranges.
