Question 1

What makes the Derwent Inktense Pencil Set special and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

The Inktense pencils use a water-soluble core that activates with water to deliver vivid, permanent ink-like color. Swatching with a wet brush creates bold, intense marks, and once dry, the color stays fixed on the paper. The set is layered-friendly, meaning you can build up color without reactivating previous layers.

Question 2

What exactly is included in the 36-colour tin set?

Accepted Answer

The Derwent Inktense 36 pencil tin includes 36 highly pigmented water-soluble pencils and a protective tin box for safe storage and portability. The set is identified by model RXL2301842.

Question 3

What surfaces work best with Inktense pencils?

Accepted Answer

Inktense pencils work best on sturdy, absorbent surfaces like heavyweight watercolor paper. They can also be used on mixed media grounds and appropriate fabrics or boards, but results may vary depending on surface treatment and priming.

Question 4

How should I use Inktense pencils to get ink-like results?

Accepted Answer

Lightly sketch with the pencils, then activate the color with a wet brush or water brush. You can layer colors by allowing each layer to dry before applying more color. For stronger tones, apply more pigment and a touch of water; for softer effects, use less pigment and more water.

Question 5

Will layers reactivate if I add more color on top?

Accepted Answer

No—the Inktense system is designed to be layering-friendly. Once a layer dries, overlapping colors typically won’t reactivate the underlying layer, helping you achieve clean overlaps and defined edges.

Question 6

What are the best practices for blending Inktense colors?

Accepted Answer

Blending is easiest with a damp brush: apply one color, then use a clean or slightly damp brush to soften edges. For more control, allow layers to dry between applications and blend with water or a light touch of a complementary hue.

Question 7

Are Inktense pencils safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Derwent Inktense pencils are non-toxic and designed for artists. As with all art supplies, keep them out of reach of very young children and follow standard safety practices.

If you prefer a smaller selection, the 12-colour Tin set is available here: https://fepy.com/product/derwent-inktense-pencil-set-12-colours-tin. These alternatives share the same ink-like, water-activated behavior with varying color ranges.

Question 9

What kinds of projects are best suited for Inktense pencils?

Accepted Answer

Inktense pencils are great for bold illustration, graphic work, poster designs, fashion sketches, travel journals, and mixed-media pieces where you want intense, ink-like color that won’t fade when dry.

Question 10

What paper and tools do you recommend pairing with Inktense pencils?

Accepted Answer

Use heavyweight watercolor paper or mixed-media paper for best results. Pair with a clean water brush or small round brushes, a sharpener, and a blending brush for soft transitions. Dry pigment can be layered, and water helps you achieve the ink-like effect.

Question 11

How should I store and care for the pencils to maximize lifespan?

Accepted Answer

Keep the pencils in their tin when not in use to protect tips and cores from damage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve pigment integrity and wood casing.

Question 12

Is this 36-colour set a good value for serious artists, and what is the return option if I’m not satisfied?

Accepted Answer

The 36-colour Inktense tin provides a wide range of highly pigmented, water-activated colors, offering versatility for many techniques. If you’re not satisfied, Fepy typically offers a return policy on art supplies; you can initiate a return under the store’s terms if the product doesn’t meet your expectations.
