Derwent - Pastel Shades Paint Palette

Pastel Shades Paint Palette

Paint luminous pastels with opaque coverage or delicate washes

Build thick, opaque layers that dry to a matte finish, or dilute them down for delicate washes that capture the soft, airy quality pastel tones demand. The pigment load stays consistent across both applications, giving you genuine control over opacity rather than forcing you to choose between watery transparency or chalky coverage.

Twelve half pans fit into a compact palette designed for actual field use, not just storage. Six mixing wells in the lid provide dedicated space for color blending, while an integrated slot secures the included mini waterbrush. Everything closes into a portable unit that fits easily into bags without leaking or shifting. The gouache-style formulation reactivates readily with water, so dried paint in your mixing wells doesn't go to waste.

These soft, playful shades complement Derwent's standard watercolor range, expanding your palette into lighter territory without requiring separate gouache tubes. Plein air painters and travel sketchers get a complete painting system that handles both bold coverage and subtle atmospheric effects in one lightweight package.
