Derwent Inktense Pencil Tin, 24 Colours

Inktense pencils have a color-rich pigment core with a water-activated ink. You can sketch or apply dry for pigment, then apply a damp brush or water to activate the color. Once the water dries, the ink remains permanent, allowing for strong, vivid lines and washes that won’t easily lift.

They work well on paper, card, and fabric. When used on fabrics, the color is designed to be permanent after activation and proper setting (follow fabric care guidelines for best results).

The tin includes 24 coloured Inktense pencils in a durable, reusable tin box, providing a compact and travel-friendly colour palette for on-the-go projects.

Tips for best results: start with a light sketch, then activate with a damp brush to create ink-like washes. Build color with multiple layers, letting each layer dry between passes for depth. Use more water for lighter washes or less water for vivid, saturated lines. For fabric art, test on a fabric swatch first and consider heat-setting instructions for permanence.

Use a standard pencil sharpener and sharpen with a gentle, steady motion. Avoid forcing the core; keep the pencil well-ventilated while sharpening and wipe away wood shavings to prevent pigment buildup.

Yes, Inktense can be used on fabric. For best permanence, apply color, allow it to dry, and follow fabric care guidelines. In many cases, heat-setting (as directed by the fabric and ink product guidelines) helps fix the color to the fabric.

Both sets share the same 24-colour Inktense palette and permanent-wet-to-dry properties.
