Description
The Derwent Inktense Colour Pencils Tin (24 Colours) offers a powerful balance of vibrancy, control, and versatility, making it an ideal mid-range set for artists exploring ink-based techniques.
Unlike traditional watercolour pencils, Inktense pencils produce intense, highly saturated colours that transform into ink when activated with water. Once dry, the colour becomes permanent and non-soluble, allowing you to layer freely without affecting previous work.
This makes them especially suitable for illustration, layering techniques, and fabric applications such as cotton and silk. The fast-drying formula ensures minimal bleeding, giving you precise control even when working with multiple colours.
With a broader palette than the 12-set, this 24-colour tin provides greater flexibility for shading, blending, and more complex compositions.

💧 Permanent Once Dry
