Create vivid ink-wash effects that become permanent when dry
Pure ink in pencil form transforms how you approach line and wash work. Derwent Inktense Pencils deliver vibrant, concentrated pigment that behaves like traditional ink once activated with water, but with the control and portability of a colored pencil. Draw precise lines, then dissolve them into translucent washes that rival liquid ink for intensity and depth.
The permanent quality changes your layering strategy entirely. Once dry, dissolved Inktense becomes waterproof, letting you build successive washes without disturbing previous layers or overlay additional media, watercolor, gouache, even more Inktense, without muddying your work. This permanence also makes these pencils exceptional for fabric painting and mixed media applications where water resistance matters.
Work dry for bold, saturated marks or activate selectively for varied effects within a single piece. The water-soluble formulation washes out completely, leaving pure pigment behind rather than binder residue. Sold individually so you can build a focused palette around the intense hues your work actually requires, whether that's a handful of botanical greens or a complete spectrum for illustration. Order six for a standard boxed set, or curate your own collection one pencil at a time.
