Derwent Pastel Pencils holder / organizer used to keep your pencils visible and easy to find. I used to use a box to store my pencils and spent a lot of time looking for the right Color. A great deal of time can be saved over the length of an art project by simply organizing your pencils in color families. Time searching for a pencil could be better spent actually drawing. The holder is made out of pine and provides a good solid base for an artist"s pastel pencils.
