WATER SOLUBLE – Expand your creative possibilities. Water soluble pencils can be used dry for expressive drawings, or washed out with water to create a bright, yet translucent ink-like effect
The tin has a dent in the corner and it makes it so the lid doesn't stay on. It was most likely dropped along the lines... Derwent Inktense pencils are intensely vibrant, watersoluble pencils that have been formulated to dry permanently. They offer exceptional layering capability without dissolving previously dried layers of vivid colour. Colours are highly-pigmented and can be used dry, or mixed with water which is when the colour becomes even more intense. The colours retain vibrancy after drying, creating ink-like effects. Derwent Inktense can be used happily on traditional surfaces such as watercolour or mixed media paper. They also perform well on alternative supports such as wood, fabrics and some ceramics. They are ideal for using with other products to create multi faceted mixed media projects. You can use Inktense dry and they’ll behave much the same as a regular colour pencil, but as you add a drop of water you’ll notice that the colour intensifies to become a vibrant, fluid ink. Use the precision tip of the pencil to work with detail, then unleash vivid washes and gradients of colour with a stroke or spritz of water. Permanent Once DrySharpen the Deep Rose pencil and add colour and definition directly to the paper on belly of the frog. Use a light loose scumbling action. Try to think of this application as mark making, not colouring in! Less is often more as once activated, the Inktense purples are very vibrant and powerful colours and you can always add more later but you can’t take it away. Warm up the shadows around the chin and legs in the same way and then activate and leave to dry. Step 13 – Final froggy flourishes
Splattering is another great Inktense technique and on our frog we’re using both the Madder Brown & Hookers Green. If you haven’t splattered before, try it out on a spare piece of paper before you commit.Either way, use a variety of greens and browns to suggest form and interest along the length of the reed. Pay close attention to the colour change along its curved surface and where the light and shadows fall. Leave to dry Step 12 – Warming up the shadows Once happy with the texture of his skin and your contrast, switch to the gel pen (or white marker) and add a few of the brightest highlights and marks. Pay particular attention to his eyes. Less is more ! Step 15 – Splattering Highly versatile; can be used on paper and fabric for a wide range of fine art and craft projects. Will stay in place on fabrics when hand washed in cool water (below 30 degrees) with no harsh detergents
Use a piece of paper as an impromptu palette. Scribble heavily on a piece of paper or card and then lift the pigment off with a damp brush. You can mix colours this way too! Spark your creativity and explore a palette of 28 vibrant new colours in the Derwent Inktense range. With their unique formulation, you can use these colours on paper, fabric, wood and more. Just lay down colour and transform into rich, vibrant washes with a touch of a wet brush – there’ll be no limits on your creativity. We took a look at the 28 new colours to see what they bring to the range. Derwent Inktense combines the brilliant intensity of ink with the versatility of watercolour pencil. Apply pure vibrant dry colour with the pencil and then water with a brush to activate the pigment into bright translucent, ink. Once dry, the colour is permanent and can be worked over with other media. The possibilities are endless, the results stunning.These new additions put more colour at your fingertips and enable artists to experiment with an even broader range of techniques, adding more depth and richness to your work. Revisit the shadows on the reed using the same process as before. Darken down areas under the body and those cute little toes using the smaller brush to take the pigment directly from the pencils. Pay close attention to the shape of those shadows and lost and found edges. Step 10 – Creases & flexures Switch to the Ionian Green towards the left side of the reed where it’s darker. Keep your lines at an equal distance and all running the same way. Using a wet brush (no6) to activate the pencil, move the pigment to create the shape of the reed (the lines will still show through). Drop in various browns and greens along the length to create interest and colour. Feather out the top and bottom with clear water. Leave to dry. Step 9 – Creating depth
