The dollar tree sells a plastic white cutting board that is almost exactly like the caran dache blending board. I have both and they work the same.
What a fantastic idea!
Oh my gosh yes!!!
Thank you I will look for it
I went to the Dollar tree and bought one of those cutting boards you mentioned. And you are so right! It works great as a pallet for these!!
Thanks so much for the tip!
I got the 72 inktense water color pencils for a gift. I am LOVING them. I love to make cards so that’s what I’m using them for but expanding now … thank you for your instructions which I need!!
With the spatter effect, you could do a meadow full of wildflowers so fast! Simply gorgeous!!♥️
Thank you so much for the video! I just got the full set of colors for my birthday and your video came in handy. Thank you Pamela. ❤❤❤
Omgosh, I was using too much water 💧 😑 A huge shout out to you for clarifying that you can't use too much water. Super appreciate you! Thank you 😊
Oh goodness. Well, I'm so happy this video was helpful in figuring out how to best use your Inktense. Have fun with them!
Thank you, great video! I’d absolutely love to see more Inktense tutorials! I just purchased the full set of both pencils & blocks.
I believe I do have a playlist on my channel for Derwent Inktense. You can go to the top bar of the channel page and go to playlists. There should be a way to search them. Hope this helps you to find more Inktense videos. I’ll definitely be doing more because I love Inktense! Happy Coloring!
@@PamelasPassionforPencils Thank you!
This was so tremendously helpful! I just bought a set of inktense and realized my mom had a smaller set so I experimented with these techniques and found them very very useful... I create fashion botanical illustrations and I was having so many problems getting the skin on the face to be really smooth and when I used the pencils they blended perfectly and I was able to add more colors in and no streakiness or funny lines.... I was definitely able to solve a serious problem!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Glad it was helpful!
When using my Inktense or Neocolor 2 pencils….I find the water brush has too much water, I use the Zig Blender twin tip brush, it is Amazing!, it’s like a brush tip marker, better than the Tombow wet marker. When it gets color on it, I just swipe it back and forth on my scrap paper and it lasts for years!
I'm assuming that if you splatter some blue and some yellow, you would also see some green splatters appearing in places, as the two inks overlap on paper? I think Inktense pencils are a LOT of fun. Hope to get some one day. Small request: when you are demonstrating the different methods of applying and activating pencils on paper, it would be very helpful if you would keep to just one color, instead of varying them. It would be easier to discern tbrush strokes left behind, how much more easily the color completely dissolves within the different methods, etc. Thank you for this video!
Thanks so much for the great idea’s I have these pencils, but have NOT been using them to their full potential ~~CanT
T wait to play !!
Thank you for a great tutorial! I'm new to these pencils, and am cardmaking and also fabric painting. Lots of fun ahead.❤
A way to add the most intense color lines is to dip the very tip of the pencil in water. One thing to remember with this technique is don't get the wood wet. I wonder if Gamsol or Meltz would work? Scribble the pencil into a watercolor palette to make paint. One other way is to take watercolor paper and scribble a lot of the pencil down to make paint sheets. This is a great way to take a little color off the paper rather than off the tip of the pencil, You can color a whole picture beforehand with Inktense pencils and then activate the picture at a later time. No need to bring all your pencils just your water pen.
What a brilliant idea for travel ! Ty for sharing ❤
Awesome tutorial Derwent Inktense are my favorite, thank you, I didn't think about the blenders, thank you so much
So glad you enjoyed it. Have a great day!
super helpful! Grateful newbie here! 💙
I don't actually do the colouring books but I am a bookbinder and I am definitely going to try the splatter on the text block as up till now I have been using paint. Thank you for the tips.
Wonderful video teaching how to use Derwent Inktense pencils. I always wondered how to use them. I may purchase them some day. Thanks so much for making this video.😊
Glad it was helpful!
You are a shining example of how one person can make a difference to so many! Thanks ever so much for the great video.
QUESTION: Based on glowing reviews, I purchased the Intense and started my first piece. The few reviewers that felt they re-wet when dry were told they did not dissolve all of the pigment to begin with. Last night, I put on one layer and thought I dissolved it all, and the colors were very vivid. Today, when I went to apply another layer, I noticed it was lifting. Upon spraying and dabbing the bird, a lot lifted off on a paper towel, and the color looks subdued. I wanted to try them first on cheaper paper, a Strathmore Visual Journal, 140CP. I cannot layer with that with traditional watercolor, as it lifts so readily. Could this be the problem? The swatches I did of the pencils on a better scrap of paper (unsure of brand) are lifting a wee bit.
Not being known for my patience, I am frustrated and unsure whether to proceed on this paper or start over. You experience would be helpful. How much pencil do you use, and do you use a lot of layers? That seems time intensive.
I am looking at the pencils, with interest. To learn about them. U have shown me. How nice they are. Thankyou.
I absolutely love these! I hope you do too!
Thank you! Yes do a demo of the splatter. Also, could you do a video on coloring with only the 12 set?
9:39 looks like the beginnings of background grass 23:53 dirty red into the green = perfect shadow on a leaf, same with blue-orange & purple -yellow!
I have been dreaming about getting these pencils for the longest time! What a helpful video! Thanks Pamela! 💕
You will love them! I’m so glad the video was helpful. Happy coloring!
Thank you for this wonderful video! I am so excited to use my intense pencils
Have fun!
Excellent video! I just bought a small set. 👍🏼
I hope you love them. They’re so much fun to experiment with.
Great ideas. Was wondering about these pencils. I didn't see the brushes with black handles listed. Can you tell me what they are? Not the water brushes. Thank you for the video!
I love my inktense pencils they are beautiful
This was a great video. I just received my first set of these pencils. I like to paint rocks. Your video was very helpful. But I noticed that mine don't seem to be permanent. After my rock dried for a few minutes my thumb was wet and it smudged my rock. These colors are so vibrant and beautiful they almost remind me of fabric dye.
If you have the Inktense. They do become permanent on fabrics once dry. Not sure about rocks
Try Aloe gel to seal
This is great I have a full set of Intense watercolor pens and just LOVE them!
Very useful video! I like how the inktense pencils turn out when they are activated. However, I am disappointed some pencils have low lightfastness, despite their high price. Strangely, the inktense blocks have much higher lightfastness, even if the names of the colours are the same, which would suggest the pigments used are the same as well.
Watercolors are the same. It depends on the pigments used. The colors each have their own lightfastness.
Very helpful video! Thank you! I got a 24 set of inktense pencils for christmas and have been nervous to use them. I didn't know how to really activate these. lol.
They are so much fun. I hope you love them as much as I do.
Thank you for the very informative video! 😊
Great techniques thtankyou Pamela :)
Glad it was helpful!
Omg. Thank you! I had the hardest time filling the water brush.
A plastic pipette works well too
Such an interesting video Pamela. I loved how you showed the various ways of activating them. They are expensive ... do you think the 72 set has enough nice colors to start with?
The 72 set definitely has enough colors. You can add on as you can afford it with the newer colors.
This was very informative. Thank you! 😊 The ways to work with them are as varied as the artists! 🎨 On camera, the chilli red looks like it has some black in it. 🌶 Does it?
Thank you so much! Awesome tutorial gonna save this!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Great pencils have a couple sets of them use them with other mediums.
You being the queen of pencils ❤️, I would like to draw from your experience: Are there any alternatives to Inktense pencils? I would LOVE to paint with them but honestly they are a bit too much for my budget. Any brand that would be close but more affordable? 🤔 Thanks an greetings from Berlin Germany 🤗🥰
I’ve never found comparison of the inktense vs Staedtler Luna watercolor pencils that are also super pigmented + vibrant. Luna watercolor comes in 12/24/48 and are really great budget student pencils where I’m located about usd 33cents/pencil and less when on sale. Not sure how much it costs in US and availability but i would love to see a comparison. Staedtler tinted graphite watercolor pencils could be similar and I think someone has ever found them on US Blick if you can’t find Luna.
Do you have any tips or a video for coloring on fabric?
Like how not to have it bleed outside of the black outline..or quilted stitches area?
The video was so good and informative . It just makes inktense feel like more fun to work with. Also can you kindly tell us the brand of those Japanese brushes that you are using…..the link you posted for the brushes shows some other brushes .many thanks
If the link is going to another set of brushes, then the seller on Amazon must have switched them out because they’re no longer available. Are you looking for watercolor brushes?
I was interested in knowing about reactivating the color once it is dry on the paper. Videos from Derwent say once the color dries it is permanent. I was hoping you would also demo that.
Very cool pencils, but very expensive!
I think I have some spring hill paper and will definitely scan a color page to it. Does the inkjet ink bleed when using water on it?
It shouldn’t bleed it all. I’ve never had any issues.
Great. I always thought it would bleed. Now that I have a printer a computer I can give it a try
You could put rubbing alcohol in the water brush instead of water.
Can these be used like the Prisma pencils, with mineral spirits and a blending stick? Or is water better?
What is the best way to sharpen the pencils? My lead often breaks with a hand sharpener.
Can these inktense be used with watercolor on top of it? With the inktense as a base layer. I have been told that the inktense does not move
Hello! Thank you for great content. Would you please advise me which sharpener are yiu using. Thank yiu!
I would really like to know the difference between the different derwent pencils. That’s what confuses me.
The Derwent Inktense definitely stand out in their own category
Me too lol
Have used the inktense pencils on linen to make a perminent pic for a cushion?
At the start of your video you mention you are using Springhill Paper. Is this a watercolor paper, or something else, do you have a link to it so I can check it out for myself?
The Springhill paper is great to print your PDF coloring pages for use with colored pencils. It's also great for printing your swatch charts or even any of the workbooks I have available in my Etsy shop. You can find it here: amzn.to/3Ngr7Ev
@@PamelasPassionforPencils thank you for your super speedy reply. Can I just clarify what weight of paper you mean. Is it the 80lb that came up when I clicked on the link or one of the other weights of paper? Don't want to end up with something that is too thin and as I am in the UK not sure what 80lb equates to in our system of gsm, but 80gsm here would be really thin paper.
Thank you!
Thanks
So far I only have a 12 set of intense pencils, just to try them out. Not yet used them, except to swatch them
You should pull them out and use them. They are so much fun. ♥️
Sorry about all the separate questions 😊…the outline pencils doesn’t bleed/blend?
thank you for this video
♥️
What weight watercolour paper do you use that goes through your printer please?
Would these methods work the same on fabric? I have some line drawing quilt squares I would like to colorize.
I noticed you didn't clean off your Carand'ache pallette. Do the Derwent Inktense colors come off cleanly after drying on the pallette? 🤔 I know they become permanent on the paper.
Love it ❤
On the outliner, how is that different from a graphite pencil? Is it that it’s permanent, or disappears? What does it look like activated with no color? Great channel, glad I found you!
Derwent also has water soluble graphite pencils. That’s what I use to sketch out my pieces and then if you add your watercolor, inktense, etc… the sketch marks disappear. I use the inktense blocks and there’s no outliner with those, so I have no idea how that’s different than a regular pencil.
Can they be used on laminated canvas or on stretched canvas, or is it essential to work on something that absorbs water? I realize the technique would be different and it would probably be necessary to use a textile medium or aloe gel but idk-just got my pencils but haven’t tried them yet.
Thank you so much for doing a video on the Inktense pencils! I was able to buy the 72 tin after you shared they were on sale and I absolutely love them! You mentioned that you used Springhill paper and that it's not available on Amazon anymore but I wanted to ask if would please let us know what type of Springhill you did use when it was available?
It is the 80 lb vellum Bristol paper. This is the one amzn.to/3K2GDSw

Thank you!
Good morning, I have a question about your printer. Can you please tell me which one it is? You had mentioned that you were going to link it in the description but I don't see it.
I’m so sorry. Here is the printer I have amzn.to/3pzBB6I
Can I use watercolor paints over the activated inktense paint
Absolutely
❤❤❤
I used ink hp and canon printers with original inks but both smudged with watercolours. Any tips?
You can try tracing. So you can transfer the drawing to the paper of your choice.
You can change the opacity for a very light print then go over it your choice of pen ( I use micron) works just fine no smudge or bleeding
Trace the drawing then turn the tracing paper onto the other side and trace it again on good watercolor paper
I have an old Canon Pixma MG 2522 all-in-one and it prints on watercolor paper. I haven’t tried any super high quality papers yet, but it doesn’t smudge on the ones I’ve tried so far. I mostly use it on watercolor paper to scan/print out coloring pages so I can use my watercolor/wet media or to make swatch cards for them.

I see the bundles in your Etsy store …Are the bundles geared towards a brand of pencils or will any of the bundles work with the Inktense pencils?
(I have the intense pencils)
Any of my bundles or workbooks will work with any set of pencils.
@@PamelasPassionforPencils what about the Swatches? I saw a few that had certain brand names and numbers, do you have one for intense that has the names and numbers for the 72 pack of pencils?
@@ufoquilter86 I’ll be working on the Inktense chart but there are 100 colors now.
I'm still not sure what the outliner pencil is meant for
I showed how to use the outliner pencil in the video.
Hi, cd you put a link to the paper, pls?
It’s been a while since I filmed this video. Which paper are you looking for?
@@PamelasPassionforPencils the one that's good for inktense pencils, pls
