Unleash Ink-Like Intensity with Derwent Inktense Pencils
Discover the magic of Derwent Inktense, the unique watercolour pencil that acts like ink. Use it dry for rich, vibrant strokes, or wash over it with water to release a translucent, ink-like flow. Once dry, the colour is permanent, allowing you to layer colours without bleeding or lifting previous applications.
From fine-art illustrations to expressive sketches and even art on fabric, Inktense gives you the versatility of a pencil with the vibrant performance of traditional ink. This is a must-have tool for artists, illustrators, and serious crafters.
Why You'll Love Inktense:
- Vibrant & Ink-Like: Highly pigmented for intensely rich colour that pops off the page when activated with water.
- Permanent When Dry: Create crisp layers and fine details over dried washes without smudging or blending. Your work stays exactly as you intended.
- Multi-Surface Versatility: Go beyond paper! Inktense performs beautifully on porous materials like fabric (cotton & silk), wood, and ceramics.
- Exceptional Blendability: Mix colours when wet to create your own custom shades and smooth gradients.
Set Features:
- Artist-Grade Quality: Smooth 4mm core for bold laydown and excellent point retention.
- Protective Tin: Durable metal tin keeps your pencils organized and safe at home or on the go.
- Multiple Set Sizes: Available in 24, 36, and the complete 72-colour sets to match your creative needs.
