ARCHIVIST'S NOTES
Derwent's Watersoluble Sketching pencils are wide-core, water-soluble graphite sketching pencils made in England, sold in three grades that each correspond to a wash strength: HB (Light Wash), 4B (Medium Wash) and 8B (Dark Wash). The round barrel holds an oversized water-soluble graphite strip; used dry it behaves like a soft sketching pencil for loose, bold line work, and when water is added the graphite dissolves into watercolour-like washes for tonal and line-and-wash drawing.
This specimen: Watersoluble Sketching in grade HB (Light Wash).
