Combining the intensity of pen and ink with the versatility of line and wash, Inktense Pencils from Derwent are an incredibly versatile, artist-quality range of pencils designed for artists, illustrators, designers & crafters. This set features a broad selection of 24 complimentary colours in a sturdy metal tin, ideal for compact storage & artists that prefer to work in the field. With their high concentrations of pigment, they produce strong, vivid tones that can be diluted with water for a translucent ink-like effect. Once dry, these washes are permanent & able to be layered or worked over without fear of affecting the previous application. Suitable for a range of surfaces and applications including paper, card, canvas, ceramic or wood, they're even ideal for fabrics such as silk or cotton.
