Derwent Inktense Pencils – 12 & 24 Shades Tin Box | Vibrant Ink-Like Permanence

Experience the Revolutionary Fusion of Pencil and Ink!

Ignite your imagination with the groundbreaking Derwent Inktense Pencils, available in convenient 12 and 24 Shades Tin Boxes! These unique water-soluble pencils offer an unparalleled artistic experience, combining the precision of a pencil with the intense, vibrant colour of ink. Unlike traditional watercolour pencils, Inktense colours become permanent once dry, allowing for exceptional layering without disturbing previous washes.

Each pencil is packed with highly pigmented, ink-like colour that transforms dramatically when activated with water. Perfect for fine detail, bold washes, and a wide range of porous surfaces including paper, fabric, wood, and ceramic, Inktense pencils are a game-changer for artists, designers, and crafters across India.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Available in 12 & 24 Shade Tin Boxes: Choose the perfect set to explore this innovative medium, from a foundational palette to a broader spectrum of vibrant hues.
• Vibrant, Ink-Like Colours: Delivers intensely rich and brilliant pigments that truly come alive when water is added, providing a stunning ink-like effect.
• Permanent When Dry: A key distinguishing feature – once the colour dries, it becomes fixed and permanent. This allows you to layer additional wet or dry media over the top without bleeding or reactivating previous layers.
• Versatile Wet & Dry Application:
  • Use Dry: Apply like traditional coloured pencils for bold, strong lines and vibrant dry colour.
  • Use Wet: Activate with water using a brush to create translucent washes, vivid blends, and dynamic ink-like effects.
• Exceptional Layering Capability: Due to their permanence when dry, you can build up multiple layers of colour, adding depth and complexity to your artwork without muddying or lifting underlying tones.
• Multi-Surface Versatility: Beyond paper, Inktense pencils can be used on a wide range of porous surfaces, including fabric (once dry, colours are fixed when hand-washed in cool water), wood, ceramic, and more, opening up new possibilities for textile art and decorative crafts.
• Strong 4mm Water-Soluble Core: The robust core ensures durability and allows for both fine detail work and broad colour laydown.
• Durable Metal Tin: The pencils come housed in a sturdy and attractive metal tin, providing excellent protection for storage and transport, keeping your pencils organized and safe.
• Easy Blending: Despite their firm texture, Inktense pencils blend beautifully when wet, allowing for smooth transitions and colour mixing.
• Lightfast: Formulated to offer good lightfastness, helping to preserve the vibrancy of your artwork over time.
