Whoa! - a really new kind of watercolor set.

[@phoozchic]

Thanks! That is a great “street” palette! I see brick, concrete, shadows, and store front colors. I like!

[@caro1591]

If ever you’re in Keswick (in the English Lake District), visit the Derwent Pencil Museum. It has the whole Derwent history, hands on stuff - great fun for both kids and adults …and a great museum shop with all the fabulous Derwent products.

[@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808]

Very cool!

[@Julie-vy3oz]

Not sure I should thank you for showing me another supply I’d love to buy! ;) Seriously so fun to see new products! Thank you.

[@dolores2716]

Same here! Last month I got one more watercolor travel set and said I should be set for a long, long time now. Shoulda known better.

[@Julie-vy3oz]

@@dolores2716 lol I can so relate. I say the same thing about substrates!

[@SketchBookSkool]

Mwahahhahah! I am the great art supply seducer.

[@MyLadyAmalthea]

I adore Inktense blocks and they water down nicely to make gorgeous glazes. I may have to try the urban sketching set.

[@mbtvalli]

Derwent always such good quality.

[@PB-mq6hu]

I have Derwent Inktense pencils and their Graphitint pencils. Love to use both in my mixed media work!

[@SketchBookSkool]

Nice!

[@GratefulDeb270]

Delightful! Ty! 👍💖

[@lindafpiotrowski3510]

Quite interesting. I’m new to all of this so didn’t know about Inktense. So much to learn.

[@pennypop408]

Great little set to throw in the bag....

[@deborahs2889]

Very interesting! Thanks for making this video and explaining how it works. A thoughtful new product aimed at the urban sketching artists.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@albertine2169]

Always loved Derwent, great brand, but then I live in the UK and easy to get.

[@allisonbuettner3934]

Bought these to do the urban sketching workshop on Saturday and I’m really looking forward to using them. These are those yummy bright and pigmented colors I just love to use!

[@SketchBookSkool]

Have fun!

[@kindle7191]

Merci from B.C. Canada. I really enjoyed your demo today. The red looked amazing to me.

[@SketchBookSkool]

It is juice-tastic.

[@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808]

Yes, the colors are gorgeous and perfect for this kind of kit.

[@joannaherbage9091]

Nice! Thanks for sharing those!

[@nikibee70]

I tend to buy Derwent products and I love the Inktense pencils, I had passed by that set on their site but after seeing this I might just give it a go :)

[@recoveringsoul755]

I've seen people paint with the Derwent Inktense colored pencils on fabric, I guess it's colorfast enough that it can be washed. Very interesting combination of types of inks and paints together with the "line" makers. Would love to see some color mixing

[@ukuotuscoffinowl]

It's actually because inktense pencils and stics are actually ink. Once you apply them on paper or natural fibre fabric; they'll stick there. -And yes, they are also lightfast. Though lightfastness doesn't have much to do with how well paints stick on somwhere, it's more how well they endure being exposed to sunlight without fading. ^^

[@SketchBookSkool]

Great tip!

[@PauloEAbreu]

@@ukuotuscoffinowl on their site derwent claims that inktense are pigment based and not dye based as most inks. Check their FAQ

[@NanaBeth1]

I have the Graphitint & my Line & Wash is on the way. Big fan of Derwent!

[@SketchBookSkool]

me too!

[@niallwildwoode7373]

Derwent! I live a cycle ride from the Keswick's Derwent Pencil Factory. It's a beautiful part of the world to live in. Very much Beatrix Potter land.

[@ukuotuscoffinowl]

Thank you. It's interesting looking set. Inktense ones indeed have ink and they cannot be much reactivated once they dry and trick part with graphitints are that they can be erased to give them highlights and such. Line markers probably also compliment the techniques as if I remember any correct ink might be watersolutable while it's still wet, so it could be bled into together with the paints and hopefully it won't be reactivated by watercolor once it's dry. I kinda hope though that other one had been white pen for adding highlights. Also, question about the pastel ones, are they just pastel shaded colors or did Derwent turn their pastel lines into watercolored version? ( as they already have done that to their ink and graphite pencils ) Like with inktense being good example of that it's not just plain watercolors or watercolor pencils that people are buying but also inks which in the end will behave like inks and graphite will behave like graphite. Btw, it also might smear like graphite over time and if sketchbook is on the go. Fixative will secure it on place though.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Thank for your additional insights. Still learning about these dang-fangled things. And no the Pastel things are just pastel-colors. Think Miami Vice.

[@ukuotuscoffinowl]

@@SketchBookSkool good to know.

Your content is top notch buddy.🥳

Thanks, SJ!

[@la_sarito]

This set is very attractive... :)

[@christinetempleton7657]

Thanks, nice video. I've seen Inktense and the newer Graphictints(?). I can see how both are useful but I have put off buying either. That's a real temptation except for the half pans... I have decided only full pans from now on. Half pans feel cramped and really aren't great for brushes.

[@SketchBookSkool]

I had no problem with the size and it contributed to the portability which is sort of the point of this set for urban sketching.

[@vbolton9]

I've been using half-pans for over 30 years, and haven't had any brush problems.

[@DarrenPeet]

I love urban sketching but have never experimented with watercolour, is this a good range of colours as an introduction?

[@SketchBookSkool]

That’s the idea behind the set.

[@arcuda2001]

very interesting combination , for a set 👍👍👍thanks, Danny .. norakag , here :-)))

Try ordering from Jackson’s in the UK. I’m in BC and have had good experiences with them. The mail can take a long time, though.

@@sabineleppanenart3014 Thanks. I will see if they have it.

[@kindle7191]

@@sabineleppanenart3014 thanks Sabine for the idea! I don't mind the wait.

[@edzejandehaan9265]

To be honest, I don't think the way those inktense paints behave is very attractive. I prefer the transparency of conventional watercolor.

[@SketchBookSkool]

I appreciate your honesty,

[@edzejandehaan9265]

@@SketchBookSkool Thanks! And to be clear, I am not saying it's a bad set. It looks high quality and well thought out. Derwent is a solid company. It's just a matter of taste.

[@sunltcloud]

When I look at the set on Amazon I see that Inktense is made for fabric.

[@SketchBookSkool]

Inktense comes in several forms. Fabric painting may be an additional use but as watercolors or pencils it's perfect on paper

[@kayrabey1344]

Late again, sorry.

Same... It's all good, though, we're glad you're here! :)
