BETTER THAN WATERCOLOUR PENCILS!? | How To Use Derwent Inktense Blocks

  • So today I stumbled upon some Derwent Inktense Blocks, and looking at the pictures I knew I had to test them out! And I was a little sceptical to begin with, I wasn't sure how to use these Derwent Inktense Blocks and I had no idea how many different applications they would have; from grating, scraping, washing, concentrated, diluting into an ink etc! I've always been a huge fan of watercolour pencils, and I can easily say these beat them hands down! I will say the Derwent Inktense Blocks are a little on the pricier side, especially if you're wanting some of the larger collections of them with more colours, but I do think they're worth it! But let me know what your thoughts were on these Derwent Inktense Blocks? And whether you've tried them/will be trying them in the future!

    Anthony you should try scrawlr box. It's a monthly art subscription box with different supplies. And there's also a challenge word in each box. Would be cool new series to try to make a craft including what's inside. Pretty sure it's a uk based company. I could see you having fun trying to come up with a craft for some new art supplies

    Inktense is so fun. You can do so kuch with it. You can even just pick up with a wet brush and paint like you would from watercolor pans. And it is permanent after it dries so it won't lift up when you layer it if it is been completely dissolved. Plus its even permanent on fabrics and can be used on canvas bags or cotton t shirts which I think would be really fun to see you do sometime.

    You can also pick up the pigment with the brush straight from the block as well and it will be very vibrant

    • @skyelorspacex
      @skyelorspacex Месяц назад +1

      Yes it feels to me like a watercolour palette I have where I put watercolour paint in and let it dry and as I wet it I use it

    Ant, if you want more girth (😉) Derwent does XL Blocks as well. There are, I think, Inktense, Graphitint, Tinted Charcoal and regular charcoal & graphite.
    Now that you have these, you absolutely need to try silk painting!
    Also, excellent trees. Proper jelly here!

    Glad you enjoyed testing these out Anthony. I live under a neuro diverse rock, so don't know about 90% of the stuff that happens in life. I mean, just last week, someone told me about a thing called a video recorder - apparently you record programmes from the TV and watch them back, as often as you like!!! I had to check it wasn't 1st April, but no, they are a real thing. Who knows what they'll think of next!! 😜🤣🤣

    daaaamn, when you spritz the paper I had the same exact reaction. I'm a slut for not fully mixing acrylic paint when I paint with it, having the texture of the paint and brush strokes and having some of it mixed and some of it separate- I dunno man it's just so GOOD.

    Brilliant video as usual, this time you're not ranting (apart from the price haha). I cannot remember if you have tried mica powder - lots of uses for it like inktense blocks, or tried Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder, I love them which works the same as mica which obviousl the same. I love wetting the paper with water and sprinkle the powder onto it and watch it !

    • @AnthonyCrammen

    Sometimes you don't need chunky, thin and delicate can do the job if you know what to do with it. As long as you are not too heavy handed avoid too much elbow grease or other slippery substances.
