Derwent Inktense paints are intensely vibrant, watersoluble pencils that have been formulated to dry permanently. This paint range offers exceptional layering capability without dissolving previously dried layers of vivid colour, unlike traditional watercolour.

Just like the pencils, 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. Once dry the colour is permanent and you can work over the top of it.

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

This paint set is ideal for travel and use outdoors with everything needed to 'paint on the go'. Includes 12 highly lightfast Inktense paint pans, a mini waterbrush, a sponge and five mixing palettes.
