The Derwent Inktense Pencils combine the control of a coloured pencil with the brilliance of liquid ink. When used dry, they deliver strong, vibrant colour; when water is applied, the pigment dissolves into bold, translucent washes. Once dry, the colour becomes permanent, allowing artists to build layers without disturbing previous work.

Renowned for their intense pigmentation and versatility, Inktense pencils are suitable for a wide range of creative applications, including illustration, watercolour techniques, mixed media, fabric art and journaling. Their smooth texture and rich colour strength make them a favourite among professional and aspiring artists alike.
