Derwent Inktense Tin Set of 72

Derwent Inktense Tin Set of 72

Explore a comprehensive palette of vibrant, ink-like colour with the Derwent Inktense Pencil Tin of 72. Designed for artists who want greater colour variety and the versatility of both pencil and ink techniques, Inktense Pencils can be used dry or transformed with water into intense, translucent colour washes.

The highly pigmented water-soluble core dissolves readily when mixed with water, creating rich ink-like effects. Once the pigment has been fully dissolved and the colour has dried, it becomes permanent, making it possible to build new layers over the top without disturbing previously dried colour.

Each pencil features an 8 mm round barrel and wide 4 mm core, with a firm yet smooth texture and strong point for detailed work. The extensive 72-colour palette provides greater scope for blending, tonal variation and expressive colour combinations.

Ideal for illustration, fine art, mixed media, textile work and experimental techniques, the 72-colour tin is suited to artists looking for a broad Inktense palette in one collection.
