About this material
Inktense is a watercolor pencil from Derwent, a British pencil maker. You can use it dry, and when you add water, the color turns bright like colored ink. Unlike regular watercolor pencils, the dissolved color becomes permanent and water-resistant once it dries. The core is 4mm, and the round barrel is 8mm across.
There are 100 colors. Sets come in metal tins of 12, 24, 36, 72, and 100 colors, and in wooden boxes of 48 and 72 colors. Single pencils are also sold.
Once a layer is dry, you can add another color with water on top, and the color underneath will not bleed. You can draw on fabric as well as paper.
