This set includes water-based colored pencils and pencil holders from Derwent, a British stationery and art supply manufacturer. When wetted with water, these pencils produce translucent, ink-like colors. They can also be used on dry paper like regular colored pencils, allowing for a wide variety of creative possibilities.
Derwent's Inktense Pencils are versatile water-soluble colored pencils. When mixed with water, they create vibrant ink-like colors. They are waterproof after drying.
The high-density pigment color changes from dry to a transparent hue and becomes fixed after drying. This allows for layering without affecting previous vibrant layers.
They are ideal for painting on paper or fabric for a variety of arts and crafts projects.
To ensure full color set, ensure all pigment is fully dissolved in the water. Undissolved dry pigment will cause the color to run when you apply water over it.
They can be used like watercolors, and can be layered and glazed like acrylics. The vibrant colors make your work stand out
