Derwent Inktense Pencils

I thought the pencils were great lovely and smooth great colour

I like to use these pencils for those difficult lines and spaces that are difficult for a brush or Art Bar. The colours when they are wet are quite different to when they are used dry so beware and try them out first. The gold is a bit too yellow for my liking.

I love Inktense as I enjoy the different ways they can be used. A very light application results in a beautiful wash and by using pressure an intense more opaque look. I reflected on what they remind me of and came to the conclusion of Acryla gouache due to the matt appearance and they don't move once dry (unless you put them on so thick that the pigment is too concentrated to dissolve properly).
