Permanent when dry – doesn’t wash out like watercolour. Layer up intense vibrant colours.

Derwent Inktense pencils are intensely vibrant, water-soluble pencils that have been formulated to dry permanently, offering exceptional layering capability without dissolving previously dried layers of vivid colour.

Colours are highly pigmented and can be used dry or mixed with water, which is when the colour becomes even more intense. The colours retain vibrancy after drying, creating ink-like effects.

Derwent Inktense is highly versatile and can be applied to many porous surfaces including ceramic, wood, and fabric. It is suitable for use on paper and fabrics for a wide range of fine art and craft projects.

The pencil format provides control for fine detail.
