Derwent Inktense water soluble pencils offer vibrant, ink-like colours that transform when water is applied. Once dry, the colours are permanent and can be layered over. This makes them suitable for various art projects, including use on fabrics like silk and cotton, as well as surfaces like ceramic and wood. The range includes 100 soluble colours and a non-soluble outliner. Each pencil features a round barrel with a thick 4mm core and is supplied in a luxury wooden box. This set contains the full range of 72 Inktense pencils, presented in a beautifully finished wooden box with a lift-out tray that conveniently fits into the lid. Experience the brilliance of ink combined with the versatility of watercolour pencils. Apply pure, vibrant dry colour, then add water with a brush to activate the pigment into bright, translucent ink. Once dry, the colour becomes permanent, allowing for further artistic exploration and stunning results.
