Are you looking for a new kind of art pencil? Derwent Inktense Pencils are water-soluble, so they can be used in dry like a regular pencil, or just add water and they work the same way as traditional ink. The colour is intense when dry but with just a drop of water it transforms into an ink-like liquid that flows from the brush or nib like paint. You can use them on their own for bold, striking effects or combine them with other media to produce stunning results. Main features of Derwent Inktense Pencils: Versatile - Derwent Inktense pencils are a revolutionary water-soluble drawing medium that are great for drawing and sketching. Once dry, the colours become permanent on paper so you can use them over and over again without fear of bleeding through your pages! Pigment-Rich Colours – They come in a range of vivid colours that mix together easily and won’t smudge once dry. They have a very smooth texture and blend well, allowing you to create your own unique colours. The result is incredibly vibrant, highly saturated colours that are more intense than conventional dye or paint. Can be used on fabrics - Due to its permanent feature it’s great for using on fabric such as silk and cotton. (You must make sure that all the pigment has been dissolved in the water to make it permanent. Any dry pigment will be washed out if further water is applied.) Whether you’re looking for a new creative outlet or want to take your art skills to the next level, these Derwent Inktense Pencils will help you achieve whatever you set out to do!
