> Figure 4: Chesapeake Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus), original on (9x12) mixed media paper in mixed media (20% watercolor and watercolor pencils) When colored pencils are applied to paper, the artist always works in careful mini-circles, or strokes with a very sharp point, understanding that the lines they make on the paper will remain exactly as they were applied, and despite the fact that solvent or blender pencil may be applied afterward, the lines remain in the exact areas.
While they have some similarities to India ink, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, watercolor tube paints, and watercolor half-pans, mainly they are very much their own, unique medium. These pencils are very heavily pigmented and can be used for a plethora of applications and techniques. They all worked very nicely however I truly enjoyed working with these pencils on the L’Aquarelle Heritage by Canson hot press, 140-pound watercolor paper. I tried the tins of 12 and 36 pencils on various types of paper including Fabriano® Artistico hot press watercolor paper, Fabriano Artistico cold press watercolor paper, Arches® hot press watercolor paper, Arches cold press watercolor paper, Canson® Mixed Media paper, Strathmore® mixed media paper, Strathmore Bristol Board, and several sketchbooks.

The wood casing appears to be good quality. I found that the standard KUM sharpener or the Ellipse by KUM was great for sharpening these pencils, and they also sharpen very smoothly. Derwent also sells Inktense blocks that can be used in conjunction with the pencils or independently. The Inktense brand slogan is “Pencil to Ink in Just One Wash.” The pencils come in a blister of 6, tin of 12, wooden box of 18, tin of 24, tin of 36, wooden box of 48, tin of 72, and wooden box of 72. Inktense pencils have a similar design to many of Derwent’s colored pencil products such as the pencil width, wood casing, color labeling, and pencil tip coloration. While they are initially water-soluble, they are ink and do not reactivate with water once they are dry, making them permanent. They are not to be confused with watercolor pencils for two reasons. Inktense (a portmanteau of the words “ink” and “intense”) is basically ink in the form of pencils. > Figure 1: Swallowtail on Gerber, original on (9x12) mixed media paper in Inktense pencils. Inktense by Derwent was one of my favorite new discoveries and is now rapidly becoming one of my main media. To this end, I re-evaluated my various art media and in doing so I ventured upon new discoveries and artistic possibilities. Product Review: Inktense® Pencils by Derwent®Īre you looking for art materials that may not trigger allergies as severely as paints with fumes, or solvents from oils and acrylics? This summer, I was desperate for just that.
