Derwent Inktense Pencils combine the brilliant intensity of pen and ink with the versatility of line and wash. This exciting range of water-soluble ink pencils is perfect for illustrators, designers and students as well as for pen and wash style drawings and floral artwork.

The pencils provide a pure, vibrant color that washes out to leave a translucent ink-like effect. Once dry, the color wash is permanent and can be washed over with other media, wet or dry.
