DERIVAN LIQUID PENCIL – AN INNOVATIVE AND EXCITING WAY TO ‘DRAW’
Happy with a brush in your hand? Then Derivan Liquid Pencil is the product for you.
With Liquid Pencil, you can achieve results equivalent to a graphite pencil, using a brush. The versatility is such that using a fine brush, you can paint strokes like the finest propelling pencil. Alternatively, in a way that has never before been possible, Derivan Liquid Pencil allows you to use a large brush to accomplish the broadest of brush strokes in seconds. The product has the consistency of cream, and can be used straight from the jar should you so desire.
Derivan Liquid Pencil is available in two varieties: Permanent and rewettable. Watercolour artists (in particular) will feel at home with the rewettable kind, due to the way they are able to rewet and lift out highlight areas, just as they can with watercolours. You can even use an eraser to remove areas of graphite.
However, if you are planning to work in layers, or for any other time you want the graphite to stay in place, you can use the permanent variety of Liquid Pencil. Consequently, this product is perfect for a pen-and-wash look, using a brush instead of a pen. Because of its unique formulation, Liquid Pencil can even be burnished.
Amazing granular effects can be created on paper too, due to the large size of the particles that make up Liquid Pencil.
Liquid Pencil can be thinned with water. However, if you require permanency, you should not add more than 50 per cent water – or the Liquid Pencil will become water-sensitive when you work over it. Should you need greater transparency (while also requiring permanency) then, instead of water, dilute the Liquid Pencil with Derivan Polymer Gloss Varnish, or Matisse MM9 Acrylic Painting Medium.
