Question 1

What exactly is included in the Derwent Inktense Watercolour Pencil Blister Pack, and what makes Inktense pencils different from regular colored pencils?

Accepted Answer

This blister pack contains 6 highly pigmented Derwent Inktense water-soluble pencils. Inktense pencils use dye-based pigments that, when activated with water, transform into ink-like washes that become permanent as they dry. They’re designed for bold color and versatile use in a compact, travel-friendly format.

Question 2

How do these Inktense pencils work when I start drawing or painting?

Accepted Answer

Draw with the pencils as you normally would. To create washes or ink-like effects, activate the pigment with a damp brush or water brush. The color intensity can be controlled by the amount of water you apply, and the color becomes permanent once it dries.

Question 3

On which surfaces can I use these pencils besides standard paper?

Accepted Answer

They’re suitable for paper, card, and fabric. For fabric, test on a scrap area first and consider light heat-setting or a textile-friendly finishing method to help the colour stay consistent with your project.

Question 4

How do Inktense pencils differ from traditional Derwent Watercolour pencils?

Accepted Answer

Traditional watercolour pencils are color pigments suspended in a water-soluble binder and tend to reactivate with water. Inktense pencils use dye-based inks, which are designed to become permanent when dried, producing a more ink-like, lasting color after you lift the water away.

Question 5

What are some best-use scenarios for this 6-colour Inktense pack?

Accepted Answer

They're ideal for beginners and travelers who want a compact set, for sketching with bold, saturated washes, and for quick studies on the go where you want a strong, ink-like finish once dry.

Question 6

How should I use blending and layering with these pencils?

Accepted Answer

You can blend by applying one color, then adding another while the surface is still damp, or by over-wetting to soften edges. Layering after dry time is also effective for achieving deeper tones. A damp brush helps merge colours smoothly.

Question 7

Are these pencils safe for classroom use and students?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Derwent Inktense pencils are designed for safety and are commonly labeled as AP certified non-toxic, suitable for school use and hobbyists alike.

Question 8

Can I use these pencils on fabric, and how do I fix or care for the colour on fabric?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can apply Inktense on fabric. Use a fabric-friendly approach: apply the colour, allow it to dry, and test whether you want to heat-set or seal the design with a textile medium for best longevity. Always test on a small area first.

Question 9

How long does it take for the colour to dry, and is it permanent after drying?

Accepted Answer

After you apply water and let the colour dry, it typically dries to a permanent, ink-like finish. Avoid scrubbing or excessive rubbing to maintain the integrity of the wash.

Question 10

Can I buy refills or individual colours, or do I need to buy a new set?

Accepted Answer

The Inktense line is commonly sold as sets of pencils rather than individual refills. If you need more colours beyond this 6-colour blister pack, you can explore other Inktense sets available on Fepy to expand your palette.

Question 11

How does this 6-colour blister pack compare to the 12-colour Inktense set, and where can I view that option on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

The 12-colour Inktense set offers a broader colour range for more nuanced work, while the 6-colour blister pack is a compact, entry-level option.
