Online Exhibition Invitation

In March 2025, I will be hosting a special online exhibition with prizes showing the artwork that I hope you will create with these pencils. I would love to fill our screens with beautiful art in my special colours. I hope you will want to join in with this.

The idea is that you use this special set to create a piece of art by 24th February 2025*. Email me a picture of your artwork, and I will display it in a Gallery here on my website and share your creations across my social media platforms. There will be awards too, chosen by people who have been involved in my little shop in one way or another.

*If you are struggling to meet the deadline, please just get in touch.

The rules for the exhibition

• You can use extra colours, but the dominant colours must be the 5 colours in this set
• You do not need to use these exact pencils if you would still like to join in – just keep in mind the 5 colours
• You can use reference photos, but please make sure you have permission to use the photo. I really encourage using your own reference photos if you can, and your imagination
• I will share your creations on my website and across social media. By emailing me an image of your entry, you agree to this, but you will be credited wherever your artwork is used
• There is no limit on the number of times you can enter (within reason)

Pencil Set Details

October 2024 saw 10 years of The Colour Pencil Shop. To celebrate, Derwent made me a limited-edition special set of pencils that I added to a bespoke pencil case.

Five pencils feature five different colours from my Colour Pencil Shop logo, with ’10 years of The Colour Pencil Shop’ imprinted down the cedar wood pencil barrel. The pencil case is made from cotton canvas and has The Colour Pencil Shop logo adorning one side.

For each set sold, a tree will be planted in your name by The Future Forest Company in Dumyat, Stirling, Scotland. A personalised certificate will be sent to you detailing where your tree is planted so that you can go and visit it if you wish. Please allow a few weeks after purchase for me to organise the certificate and send it to you via email.
