Derwent Watercolour Pans?! | Are they Better than Inktense?

- I recently bought the 24 set of Derwent Watercolour Pans. I am someone who loves the Derwent Inktense line, so I was curious to see how the watercolors compare with Inktense! Let's see how they stack up against one another as I do a side by side comparison in my sketchbook!

I have wondered about the Derwent watercolors. Thanks for showing them in action!
THANK YOU for saying Inktense is kind of like gouache! People always say it's ink in solid form, and it is NOT! The revelation for me was when I used Inktense on black paper - it really did look like gouache! It's frikkin opaque! Could it be a dye-based gouache? Gouache-adjacent also explains why it dries so fast and has kind of a matte finish. And why the lighter colors like white and yellow dry more more opaque. But of course it doesn't lift easily like gouache. It's obviously not the same thing, and I really wish Derwent would be more transparent about what the heck this stuff is. But anyway, enough with my rant. The mystery remains....
I looked at these watercolours. In my opinion they are water soluble paints rather than traditional watercolours. They’re quite opaque and don’t flow or blend very well. I think they’re quite expensive for craft quality paints. Another factor to consider is whether the replacement pans are available to buy individually. The Inktense have different qualities and uses so are different from other mediums and I enjoy using them for that reason. The pencils and blocks are available open stock but not sure about the small pans from the paintbox.
I love how you review things, you manage to explain yourself so well, brilliant ☺☺
I was surprised that they turned out with such a similar look, I like both pieces. I have the inktense pans (and pencils, and blocks, I know, probably overkill!) and I have an 8 pan set of Derwent pastels. They are super matte and chalky when dry. I was wondering about the watercolors and am so glad you reviewed them. Thanks for these videos, Shana!
i am very confident in you, i don't buy without watching if you have tried the product ; thanks for all
Compare it to faber castel w/c since they are always competing lol
This is so interesting to me! I have to admit that when I first saw this video, I thought, “no, no, you’re wrong. This is just Inktense renamed for a different market.” I have seen Derwent do that with Graphite/Graphitint XL. Then I looked and couldn’t find it available anywhere or on the Derwent website, so I was sure that was the case. But I see you did thorough research and addressed those issues. I guess more watercolors are about the last thing I need, though….
Hi! We sent you an email! Looking forward to hearing from you! 💜🥰
Whats your stance on fixating art?
Both of those flower paintings really pop!! 🌺 Nice comparison!! 👍
They seem to be very similar and whilst I like both pics, I would tend to prefer the Inktense. Just looks that bit more colorful and vibrant. Though, if I were to buy either product I would be very happy with both.
Hi Shana! Ohhh...well, I love Derwent Inktense, they're so wonderful products! But when I see this comparison...I think both are doing a wonderful job, but, I love the watercolors side, because it look so much natural, more soft and obviously, more blendable than the Inktense pan paintings. I will love to try this Derwent Watercolors, but I really concerned about the lightfast ratings. I don't have the Inktense pan painting set, but I have the Inktense pencils and blocks, and I love them❤. Oh, I forgot something, the side of the Inktense pan painting, looks more opaque, and it's like you said, looks like gouache, and its so nice too😊❤ thanks to do this comparison Shana❤❤❤
Great review! I love your videos.
I would love to try these 😍
I'm actually surprised you didn't know about these. I've been tempted for a year now to get the Derwent pastel set. I noticed the pastel colors weren't listed on the sheets you showed.
I have the inktense pans already, and the meiliang watercolours and I like both. How would these compare to the meiliang ones? I'm considering to buy their 52 set with the pastels or this set.
Loved how you did your bokeh background the watercolors do look like they blend well. Thank you so much for sharing this I have been very curious about trying these watercolors! I love the green in the background of the watercolor side! Was that straight color or did you mix that green? I didn't see a swatch that looked that dark, but it is lovely. Both of your poppies are wonderful! Is this watercolor palette one you would grab to go out on our next Plein Air adventure, or will you still reach for something else? I loved the way you lifted to add in leaves in the background, that worked very well! All the poppies we saw on our adventure were amazing, both of these were my favorite colors! Reliving the day through these pieces, great memories! Seeing both finished, the water color just looks a bit smoother in blending from your wet in wet washes, based on what I am seeing I love the look of the watercolor just slightly more than the inktense. I would be curious to see how these look in comparisons to watercolors like Cotman, Meilang (Paul Rubens student grade), and even the Meeden watercolors, but it would also be interesting to see them go head to head with some of the pro colors with similar qualities, these didn't look like fast movers and would be curious how they hold their own vs something like W&N pro (which IMO is a very "reliable" I will stay where you put my kind of professional watercolor, in relation to say their hyperactive cousin QoR. lol). Thank you so much for sharing this I think they will remain on the list of watercolors to try.
Oh interesting, I didn't know Inktense was officially classed as a watercolor product! People keep repeating they are ink 😆
I have been curious about these as I am all about Derwent, but they seem so similar to Inktense, thank you for the review. As always your work is amazing. I love that you hang with Lindsay and Angela ❤
