The spritzer adds a new creative dimension to your water based work. Spray water directly over water-soluble drawings to create interesting textures, colour runs and dribble effects. You can also dissolve colour pigment in the Grate ‘n’ Shake (Inktense or Watercolour for example) fill the spritzer and spray colour straight onto your image. Many artists will also spray water lightly over paintings to maintain a wet workable area.

Artbar Shave ‘n’ Save
This ingenious little tool is designed for use with the Artbar range. It is designed to sharpen and shape your Artbar to suit your requirements. The container collects all the shavings and you can save them for later use; sprinkling them over a wet or damp painting and pushing them into the surface to create interesting effects and texture.
Scraper Derwent Artbar
Sgraffito – the art of scraping away layers to reveal underlying colours is an age old technique that creates exciting and unusual effects. This scraper tool has been designed to provide the artist with a wide selection of scraping shapes to produce different marks. Perfect for use with Derwent Artbar and other wax based media or oil pastels, it can also be quite effective with wet paints such as oil and acrylic.
Burnisher pencil Derwent
The Derwent Burnisher is a hard colourless pencil which when used over layers of pigment provides a rich polished finish. Burnishing pushes the pigment into the paper and leaves a very well blended, photo like finish. By sealing the image with a heavy wax it gives the image a polished or reflective look and makes the colours appear brighter. The Burnisher can also be used for the wax resist technique; draw your required design, this will add a layer of wax to the surface, then add your colour. The wax layer will resist the coloured pencil thus leaving that part of your drawing white.
Blender Pencil Derwent
If you are working with coloured pencils and want to create a subtle blend of colours then the Derwent Blender Pencil is the ideal accessory. It is a soft colourless pencil made from the binder used for making coloured pencils and allows you to blend two or more colours together to create a new colour. At the same time it physically mixes and smoothes the colours so individual strokes and hard edges are softened.
