Derwent - Graphitint Paint Pan Palette

Graphitint Paint Pan Palette

Paint landscapes with graphite-shimmer tones that pool and granulate

Graphite's metallic sheen meets watercolor's fluidity in these unusual paints. Derwent blends fine graphite particles with subtle pigment to create muted colors that shimmer and settle into paper texture differently than standard watercolors. The graphite component creates granulation effects as particles migrate and pool during drying, particularly striking on cold-pressed surfaces where texture amplifies the separation.

The twelve half pans span warm and cool tones, all sharing that characteristic graphite luminosity that adds atmospheric depth to urban sketches and natural landscapes. Activate with water like traditional watercolor, but watch how the metallic particles behave: they settle into paper grain, creating dimensional effects that shift as light hits the surface. Layer washes to build up that distinctive graphite sheen, or let granulation create organic texture in skies and stone surfaces.

The compact palette includes integrated mixing wells and a mini waterbrush, making it genuinely portable for location work. Mix colors directly in the wells to create custom muted tones while maintaining that metallic quality. The graphite content means these paints excel at moody, atmospheric subjects where subtle color and textural complexity matter more than saturated hues.
