Derwent - Inktense Paint Pan Travel Set
Layer vibrant permanent washes without reactivating dried color
Twelve permanent colors, palm-sized format. Derwent Inktense Paint Pans deliver the same vivid, non-resolving pigments found in their pencil and block ranges, now in ready-to-activate pan form. Unlike traditional watercolors that reactivate when wet, dried Inktense layers stay put, you can layer washes over previous applications without lifting or muddying underlying color. This permanence transforms your approach to building depth and complexity.
Each compact set includes a mini waterbrush, sponge, and five mixing palettes integrated into the case design. Everything closes into a portable package that fits easily into bags or pockets for location work. Sun yellow through ink black in Palette #1 provides a foundational range; Palette #2's sherbert lemon through antique white offers expanded tonal options. The highly-lightfast pigments maintain their intensity over time, crucial for finished artwork rather than studies.
These pans work on both paper and fabric, opening textile applications alongside traditional watercolor techniques. Activate with water, apply washes, let dry, those layers become permanent. Build transparent glazes, create hard-edged effects, or blend wet-into-wet knowing your previous work stays intact once dry.
