Swatch the full set of 100 Derwent LIGHTFAST pencils with me - Adult colouring 

I just ordered based on your beautiful swatching. Wonderful!

I’ve never watched a swatching with such a perfect camera angle! Thank you!

Oh my goodness, just all the green shades!! I really can't wait to see you do a colour along. Thanks for the great review. ❤️

You are going to love these pencils. They are seriously one of my favorite pencils ever. Can't wait to watch you color with these! They blend well with Luminance too even though they are oil.

Love the colors thanks for sharing

What a great husband you have there. Happy for you. I'm waiting for my 100 set that will arrive any day now. I started out with the 36 set first. Fell in love. Thanks for switching. Karen from Canada ☺☺💖💖

Thanks for this!

T GAAL sharpener gives great small point and uses hardly any pencil. Love it

What an awesome set! Thank you so much for swatching them out. Enjoy! 🎨💖

My set of 36 Lightfast arrived this morning. Your swatch video wishes timed perfectly. I can hardly wait until I collect the other 64-pencils. I am in love with violets and greens. They are beautiful pencils. The extra pencils came out around the same time as Caran D'Ache released the portrait set with four more pencils.

They are quickly becoming my favorite (though polys still do detail better). I do commission pet portraits and they are very wonderful on fur. They blend so easily. Not many skin tones, but I've got Luminance for that. Love the book you are swatching in. Great review. I love to do coloring books to relax and hone my blend and shade skills.

All of the colors are absolutely stunning, I hope I can own a set once in my lifehacking, lots of joy coloring with them and have a nice week 😃💜

I love my Derwent Lightfast, they are wonderful to colour with and a great complement to Luminance. The greens and purple in the Lightfast is beautiful.

Recently come across your channel and have been binge watching them! I'm saving up to buy these beautiful pencils so thank you for the lovely swatching. Must also compliment your lovely husband...buys you these gorgeous pencils and cooks the dinner...what a keeper! XX

Beautiful colors! I'm looking forward to see your pictures with them. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your swatching of the colors! They are gorgeous. I can’t wait to get into my set. I agree, we need more pinks. It really stands out when looking at the overall swatches. Have a wonderful long weekend! Fran

They do have some colors that are unique. Night shade, purple (which is like the black raspberry in prisma), and all those highlight shades in each color group. Nightshade is absolutely marvelous on so many chestnut and brown fur shades

love the colours

I love this book too. I've been swatching. These colors are beautiful. I have to get my other sets first. 😁 Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed night. Stay safe. 😊❤

As always, I love love love your videos. Your voice has such a calming effect. I have watched this one twice because I am completely in love with my new splurge of Derwent Lightfast pencils. I'm not an experienced colorist. It is all new to me but these pencils make everything I do seem special. I just ordered my 28 extras. Can't wait!

All I can say, is Gorgeous!! Thanks for Sharing 💜

Gorgeous colours - this is such a good birthday gift that you will enjoy for so long 👋🏻🤗👋🏻

Each tip made me twitch! You won't ever get more pinks I'm afraid. The reason they are not there already is that the pigments for pink are fugitive and can not be made lightfast. You will have to use pinks from other sets. It's the same with paints, pink fades. Enjoy your exploration of them. I'm loving this book. It's a great way of getting everything together.

These look amazing Lucy not as hard as the pro colour nice job ❤️👍🙂

Happy Birthday. I have these but had to watch u swatch them. Beautiful pencils. Btw Dick Blick in US runs sales on these for $2.

I've been buying these open stock particularly the super darks and super lights. You're tempting me with the greens!

Thank you so much. I am currently trying to collect the ones that I didn't get in my 36 piece set and this video has been incredibly helpful. Thank you so much.👍🏻❤

Hi Lucy! TFS Each time I heard a "snap", my heart would skip a beat. I adore these Lightfast pencils, but can't say as much as I love the Polychromos. Now they are sharing the space in my Derwent canvas bag, because I like to use them together. Can't wait for a colour along (hopefully in JB's WoW?).

I am just trying the lightfast have a few open stock but my god I love them they are amazing. This lovely video has given me a little list of colours I want to buy next so Thankyou Lucy. Enjoy these pencils lucky lady x

SNAP!!🤣 The same thing happened to me when I swatched the Lightfast last week. Little pencil tips everywhere! Can't wait until you color using them. Enjoy!

I ordered a handful of these open stock back in February and I have received about 8 of them so far, the rest are on backorder at Blick Art here in the states. Blick told me due to Covid and the UK shutting down Derwent is behind on manufacturing, so I am still waiting on about 12 more pencils. I still have Nightshade, Mars Violet, Green Earth etc on the way. I look forward to getting these colors, they are very unique. This helps so much in choosing more colors as the color swatches on Blick's website are not very accurate. I was adding colors to my cart as you were swatching them. My birthday is in June, so I am getting my cart ready! Haha.. I wish I could get the entire set, but open stock will have to do for now. I do love them, and dare I say, I might like them better than the Luminance, which they do remind me of. Thank you for doing this video!

I am very lucky to have the most amazing art shop 5 kms from me and all the pencils are open stock as well as tinned. Maybe I’ll start with a few colours openstock that caught my eye during your swatching🤔

Thank you, Lucy, for sharing your swatching. I’ve been waiting over a month for my 100 box set of Lightfast from dickblick and contemplated canceling when it added ANOTHER month onto my back order wait 😭 but, the price also went up from what I paid so....seeing the colors has convinced me to hold on a bit longer...as painful as it feels. And hearing the tips snapping was oddly satisfying 😅 I like long points on my pencils so mine will likely snap as well.

Of course we did!

I liked Nightshade so much that I wanted to buy a few more open stock, but it appears that many other people had the same idea because they are currently on backorder on Blick...

It’s Sunday evening, May 16, here in NY State and I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday tomorrow!

Hello Lucy! Texture-wise, how do these compare to the Derwent Drawing? I love how those feel. Thank you! And lovely video, beautiful colors!

The 100 set in Australia cost $620.00 almost the same price as the Caran de arche pencils.

Hi Lucy, this video is now 2 years old, have you done a colour match to the polychromes? I'm new to the Derwent pencils, they seem to be very interesting colours a lot or mostly all natural nature colours.

The 100 set does come in a complete box but it's the wooden box, it was also my birthday present 🎁.

Oh no Lucy ! My hubby was getting me Derwent colorsofts for my birthday now I’m torn😱

Im incredibly sorry to disturb you again, but i have a few open stock, the mars violet and it just seems a bit odd? like clumps? i tried different papers. May i ask, have you experienced that with any of them or on certain papers?

Swatching

Although you've only swatched them and aside from colors differing - do you find them better than FC Polys? I would like to one day get the both sets, but undecided as to which one first.

I have a question: I do botanical art - mostly flowers which colored pencil set is better for such kind of art? The derwent lightfast set of 100 or the caran'dache PABLO set of 120? At first I thought the lightfasts, cause of their creamy buttery consistance, but they are also able to hold their point (I heard) - but then I saw their COLOUR RANGE! And even they are 100 colored pencils , there are so few LIGHT and BRIGHT colours, the most colours are muted and in the darker range...thats also VERY BEAUTIFUL , but is it the RIGHT choise for a botanical and flower artist? The Pablos -I dont know much about them, only that they are firmer then the lightfasts, near to the polychromos. And there colour range is MUCH brighter. What DO YOU personally think? There is a big sale at the moment, so the time to decide is running of 🙈 You would be a Real help!!

Thank you so incredibly much. May I ask, do you prefer these or the luminance pencils?

I'm not a "green" person but I really love these colors.

These Derwent are not readily available on our online shopping needs in this rural areas. 😦💁🏻. Guess this leaves years to save up! * keeping my Crayola’s near*

Lucy is it the ones in the grayish tin cause there's SO many out there don't want to get the wrong ones many thanks

🌹Lucy can you please tell me were you husband bought the lovely lime green pencil case thanks.🙋🏻‍♀️

I have the smaller set of these. What books do you find they work best in?

Karen Hull has wonderful colored pencil comparison chart if, like me, you don't have the full set of these. I'm still trying to figure out a reason I need the holbeins (lol). Really, I don't need anymore full sets . 😅

I've asked a couple of people but not got an answer yet. Now I ask you ;) I'm thinking of getting this book but would like to know what kind of paper it has. Does it give a good representation of the color of the swatch?

But you have released it today :}
