Lakeland Painting Pencils

Create beautiful works of art with the Lakeland Painting Pencils from Derwent. Specially designed for children, these high-quality water-soluble pencils are a fantastic staple for schools, nurseries and creative learning spaces.

Offering an exciting introduction to watercolour techniques, these versatile pencils can be used just like regular colouring pencils. Once the drawing is complete, simply apply water with a brush to blend and soften the colours, turning the artwork into vibrant painted creations. This makes them ideal for encouraging experimentation with colour mixing, shading and early painting skills.

Each pencil features an easy-to-hold hexagonal shape, giving smaller hands extra grip and control during mark-making and drawing activities. The thick 3.5mm soft colour lead delivers smooth colour laydown while remaining durable and break-resistant, even during enthusiastic use in busy classroom environments.

The varnished outer coating matches the lead colour, helping children quickly identify shades during creative sessions. Available in multiple pack sizes, these painting pencils are ideal for both individual art trays and larger group activities.
