Derwent Chromaflow Pencils: Artist-Quality Colour with a Soft Core Edge
Published on  Updated on  

Derwent Chromaflow is a range of soft-core colour pencils designed for smooth laydown, vibrant colour, and easy blending. If you're looking for rich colour, blendability, and a professional feel without breaking the bank, Chromaflow pencils are worth a look. And right now at bradburyART, the full range is on sale — from the handy 12-tin set right up to the bumper 150-tin collection.

What Makes Chromaflow Stand Out?

Chromaflow pencils are designed with a soft core that makes them ideal for:

  • Smooth laydown and vibrant colour

  • Layering and blending

  • Illustrators, colourists, and artists working on paper and toned surfaces

They're also highly pigmented, which means even a light touch gets results — great for both beginners and experienced artists.

Which Set is Right for You?

Tin of 12 – A compact and affordable introduction to the range. Ideal for sketching on the go or gift buyers.

Tin of 24 – Adds more variety and subtle shades. Great for hobbyists or those upgrading from student sets.

Tin of 100 – The full spectrum of colours for serious users. A smart investment for anyone building a long-term practice.

Tin of 150 – The complete professional set. Contains everything Derwent offers in this range. Perfect for studios, advanced artists, or just those who want the lot!

What Paper Works Best with Chromaflow?

Chromaflow pencils work best on medium-tooth paper that can handle layering — such as cartridge paper, pastel paper, or Bristol board. Toned paper also enhances the vibrancy of the colours and adds depth to your work.

Chromaflow vs Coloursoft or Prismacolor

Customers often ask how Chromaflow compares to other popular brands:

  • Softer than Derwent Artist pencils, but firmer than Coloursoft

  • Stronger points than Prismacolor, less prone to breakage

  • More budget-friendly than many other professional ranges
