Being a Professional artist, it is important that in selling my work, it is of the highest standard I can produce. To achieve this, I use only good quality materials. Derwent is a long standing company, who's art supplies are always of a high standard. Inktense pencils, are of their usual high standard. They are quirky and fun to use. Looking dull and muted when first laid down on the paper, however, once water is added, they burst into deep rich colours, which easily blend and compliment other water based mediums such as watercolour paints and markers. The spread and coverage of the ink is excellent, you need little to go a long way. There are no different in application to normal water soluble pencils. You can create a wash or a wider coverage by filling in with the colour,or, for detailed areas or small amounts, you can take the ink from the pencil tip with a wet brush. They are not cheap, however, not as expensive as more higher end supplies. They come in different amounts from a tin of 12,to 72. They take practice and are unlike watercolours they do not lift fully from the paper. Once dry they are perminant, and do not reactivate if wetted once again. There is no light fast reading on these inks, so, until my light fastness test is completed I won't know if I'm able to do a complete piece using these.. Rich and vibrant, they are a definite favourite in my colour stash. MRead full review

These watercolour pencils are much easier to use than ones I have used before. The colours are much more intense (hence the name!)....but it is possible to water down and get subtle wash effects.

Fabulous rich colours and a great variety of colours. A pencil sharpener would have been great.. Also a little expensive but happy with quality
