Product description
Derwent Inktense permanent watercolour pencils blend the immediacy of ink with the blendability of watercolour, offering a versatile set for colouring, painting and crafting. The set of 24 in a tin provides a practical palette for sketching vivid washes or adding fine, permanent lines once dry. Suitable for hobbyists and professionals alike, these pencils work on paper and fabric and come packaged in a handy metal tin for storage and transport.
Key features
The pencils have a 4mm premium core that lays down rich pigment and, according to the manufacturer, dries to a permanent ink-like finish so you can layer lines and shadows without disturbing the base. The range of 24 colours covers mid tones and accents useful for most projects. They are water-soluble for washes and blending, yet produce permanent marks once fully dry which is useful if you want to protect or varnish a finished piece.

What you’ll notice day to day
These pencils feel solid in the hand and are forgiving when you want quick washes or detailed line work. Expect vibrant colour release and good colour layering when used wet. Bear in mind that the permanent finish limits rework once the pigment has dried, so plan layers carefully.
Who it’s for
It’s a good fit if you enjoy mixed techniques, urban sketching or fabric embellishment and need colours that can be fixed after drying. It suits those who value durable results and compact storage, and it can work well as a thoughtful gift for emerging artists.
