My understanding from watching other videos about the inktense, is that, if you do light layers and fully activate the color, they will not move after drying. If you use thicker layers and don't fully activate them, they will move if rewet. Hope this helps.
That makes sense - thank you!!
I think that’s the benefit of the inktense blocks, your wet brush automatically activates the pigment off the blocks so every stroke with your brush is fully activated pigment
I've always been a bright coloured person, yet the more I do art and collect different mediums, the more I'm loving the darker, moodier colours. This set is high on my wish list. For me almost all things derwent make me happy. Your duck is beautiful!
Me too, especially with watercolour paints!
I agree about Derwent - for Lightfast, Drawing and Graphitints especially.
Its a rainy cold afternoon here on Cape Cod and I just stumbled across your channel here on youtube and have found you to be wonderful company as I work on my own art. I love the vibe of your channel. I enjoy how soft and quiet it is...your voice is soothing and goes wonderfully with the scratch of pencil on paper...both yours and mine. I very much enjoy your content thus far as it seems we have very similar taste in choice of media. Thank you so much for doing what you do and sharing it with the world. I look forward to exploring more of your videos.
Thank you for your kind message and thank you for transporting me to Cape Cod for a moment - somewhere I would love to see. You are directly across the ocean from my seaside village!
We got some inktense pencils in scrawlrbox this month and now I'm considering buying some. They are expensive, so I wanted to see a comprehensive review. Thank you so much for this video. It wad helpful.
Thanks - I'm glad!
Hi Helen, love your duck! Based on this I bought 9 open stock inktense pencils at the art store today. My tests were on Canson Montval 140 lb WC paper. It’s a little too textured for these pencils but the pigment was lovely. I did see color lifting after it dried. I will try it on a hot press Fluid 100 cotton paper 140 lb in hopes it lays down better and check again for color lifting. Thanks for sharing your product experiences. I’ve added the 72 set to my must purchase list!
I'm happy you think the pencils are promising! Yes, it's definitely worth playing around on different papers with them. My watercolour travel journal in the video has quite a smooth surface.
ii keep all the shavings from inktense and watercolor pencils, warms and cools...for watering down as background/washes for other drawings and projects. even the wood bits add texture for collage journal pages. Ty for sharing yr process.
p.s. Derwent chinese white drawing pencil is opaque. Helps with Faber castell white pens/inks as well.
That's an interesting idea, thanks!
Yep, I was just seeing how opaque this one was - my favourite non-watercolour pencil whites are Holbein Soft White, and the fine Poscas, also Dr Ph Martin's Bleedproof White.
Beautiful work. My outliner from the 72 set is water soluble, dissolves to a pale blue-grey. I’m going to order an open stock one and see if it different.
Oh! It's not supposed to do that!
Thank you Helen. I've had a set of 24 of these pencils for a while, and you inspired me to get them out for a little swatch and play. I love your duck! I just watched your sketchbook review and really enjoy your bird paintings. But I really really love the (what did you call them? splodge and scribble?? depictions of various buildings. 🙂 Cheers from Australia.
Thanks ever so much! It makes me really happy when people feel encouraged to get art stuff out and have a play!!
Love your mallard duck, just got my first Albrecht Durer pencils. I have some Inktense paints but not the pencils, I worry about the staining and lack of flow. Although you show here the pencils behave much the same as other w c pencils x
I do think they act quite similarly overall. Albrecht Durer are my favourite straight watercolour pencils that I've used so far - hope you love them!
So wonderful duck! 👌👍😊👏
Thank you!!
For a more opaque white (apart from obvious choices such as gouache etc) try and get a single inktense white block or a single caran d’ache museum aquarelle pencil in white.
Thanks! I've not tried either of those before!
The derwent drawing white pencil should also be one of the best/opaque ones. It's on my wishlist for a while...
@@kreativeReise If you're going to include non-watercolour pencils, I have the Derwent Drawing white, but find the Holbein Soft White to be more opaque. But I'd usually cheat and use the narrow Posca, or Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleedproof white!
For me the biggest advantage of Inktense is the possibility to work on fabric. Once dry and ironed they are permanent.
I really need to think of a project where I do this - it sounds great!
Bought a set of 72 years ago just bought a set of 100 Inktense nice to use.
Yes, lovely!!
this was a really helpful review thanks allot
Thank you, I'm glad!
I have the Albrecht Durer and the kind of paper used makes a huge difference for me. I have had more success on a mixed media 230 or higher gsm…not a heavy grain paper. I have heard another artist on youtube demo the Inktense and she also recommended mixed media paper.
Thanks ever so much!!
i have those and love them! next i want to repurchase the watercolor pencils, but not sure if i want to go with the derwent again or the albrech. so i have both in my cart and undecided.
I have the standard Derwent Watercolour Pencils, and think the Albrecht Durers are much nicer in all ways - nicer to use dry, more concentrated pigment, and more easily released.
I have three derwent watercolour pencils and find them quite hard. I don't have any A. D., though from what I've seen and heard they are the favourite. I'd go for those, and will when one day I have the funds 😊
I have both an find that the Albrecht Dürer dissolve better. With inktense I sometimes have some pencil strokes left after activating. Maybe it's also a pencil-paper-combi thing. Some of the inktenses are much brighter than the Albrecht dürer ones...esp. pinks and violet/lilacs (whats the difference between violet and lilac? For me as a German never know which word I have to use when 🤣)
I was hoping for permanency too, but then I couldn’t understand how inktense blocks would work without forming permanent film on a surface after the first use. I tried both pencils and blocks, but had similar results - they are not more permanent than staining watercolors.
That's interesting you found the same - and with the blocks. Somebody commented that they are when fully activated, so that maybe I'm not fully activating all of the pencil lay down, but with the blocks, you'd think that in order to pick it up from the blocks in the first place, that you'd be activating it fully.
@@helencryer I feel like people talking about “fully activating” are repeating marketing materials frankly: I also tried scribbling pencils on Caran d’Ache plastic palette and put it wet on wet on the paper - and even then if there’s more pigment than just enough for staining it does reactivate.
I’m thinking that for water resistant background but the one that will not fully seal the paper and be transparent - only actual inks will do, like de Atramentis for example.
@@weekend_art I'm not sure, I think it depends on the paper *and* how well they're activated. I just recently got them as well, and on faster drying paper they actually activated almost too quickly and I went back to reactivate one of them - having heard other people saying they aren't permanent as advertised - and I couldn't. This was mixed media heavystock. And I flicked color over part of the image I didn't want too, and tried lifting it and couldn't. I think perhaps on hot press/smoother watercolor paper based on my experience so far the color is more permanent
Thank you! I was wondering if paper perhaps made a difference!
@@venatrixadere4051 well, by it supports my idea about staining: on non-sized paper you can’t lift watercolor either
Thank you for this. It would help me if you'd show the complete swatch page as a "still" for a moment, it keeps moving around and I"m trying to figure out what I need to fill in my set of 36!! The whole thing doesn't fit but you could hold a section for a moment so folks could pause, and then move to the lower half... food for thought
Hi, thanks for your feedback! If it helps though, all the colours are shown together at about 14 minutes. If you pause it there, you can look at all the colours together for as long as you'd like, plus zoom in as needed.
@@helencryer oh my gosh, I skipped ahead a bit when you were discussing the grey swatches and missed it. Perfect. Your swatch chart is the best I've seen and I'm going to do the same, thank you.
I'm new to watercolor and have Derwents and the Winsor & Newton watercolor markers. Boy, they can do a lot, excited to try fabric
@@elizabethheyenga9277 Oh that great! Thanks! I'm a bit selfish in that I show the things I would like to see if I was trying to make decisions on purchasing it!
Very nice demonstration and comparison Helen, I wanted to ask you because I didn’t quite understood what you said,what kind of paper did you use here? I know they came out with 28 new colors in the pencil line, unfortunately right now only in UK. I am in the US and they can’t tell me when they will be available here. Thank you for sharing 😊
I'm not at home for a couple of weeks I'm afraid, to check, but I think I used Canson XL for the swatching of all the colours, and I definitely used Seawhites A5 Watercolour Travel Journal for the duck picture.
I checked out the extra colours, and I don't think I need most of them - just a pink, turquoise and possibly another brown. They're so expensive to buy all the new extras individually!
Why did you compare Inktense to Luminance instead of Albrecht Dürer when blending colors into each other? For me it would have made more sense to compare the two watercolor pencils 🙃
There's the possibility I would use Inktense in their dry state too as an ordinary coloured pencil (while I've been swatching out all my coloured pencils, I've found there are some Inktense colours I have no dupes for), so I just wanted to see how they compare in operation to a non-watercolour pencil.
I'd never need to blend an Albrecht Durer though, because they have identical colours to the Polychromos, which I'd always use instead for a dry drawing. So I just did the tests I actually wanted!
@@helencryer Aaaaaah...okay...that makes sense. I was a little confused 🙃

Pl paint background
I wouldn't know where to start with a background for this!
You DON'T sharpen pencils.
You wear a facet in the tip and eventually you cut away the wood.
Men invented pencils and women haven't learned the basics to the design.
The RADIUS measurement of the lead is what you're concerned with.
You're completely WRONG about these pencils.
Your lead facet width is approximately the radius measurement.
You are a long way away from the correct width of the tip.
Thanks ever so much for your insight into the use of pencils (though not for your silly over-generalisations). I don't think I take my art as seriously as you, so I'm quite happy muddling through in any way that brings me the most enjoyment at the time.
Stop saying releases ‘pigment’ with inktense … they are totally different from Durer because they are ink.
Hi, firstly I feel I'm allowed to choose how I say things in my own videos, secondly, I'm correct.
"Inktense is a pigment-based product that is extremely soluble in water, but has a transparent ink-like wash." From the Derwent website.
Also, inks can be made from pigments anyway.
Cannot believe people criticise you on your own channel! So rude !
get it right then. It’s not criticism .. no one is judging anyone’s artwork. if you are going to run a channel and make claims about a vendor’s product, you owe it to both the vendor and your viewers to fully understand your topic.@@user-xw8fm7bs3z
So, you went the wrong way by sharpening the pencils and that caused you to put down WAY TOO MUCH pigment and THAT caused you to put down WAY TOO MUCH water which resulted in an enormous smear of colour which DOESN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE famous water colours art.
Your colour on paper looks about 20 times over the limit for an acceptable water colour artwork.
You WORK pencils according to the RADIUS measurement.
You MUST wear in the tip to a wide rounded RADIUS facet.
That's because you HAVE ROUNDED SURFACE pencils.
The lead facet will be worn into a SEMICIRCLE shape which is the OPPOSITE type of facet TO A POINT SHAPED FACET.
Your pencils are ROUND and the tip facet MUST ALSO BE ROUND.
You wear in the tip till it matches the radius measurement and then you will wear out the whole lead for the entire length of the pencil.
Thanks (again) for your tips on pencil usage! Thankfully I'm not too concerned about my work looking like famous watercolour art - my goal is to enjoy myself, which I do!
I'm not sure I like 'MUSTS' in art though. I'm not sure there is any such thing, and it sounds like you're advocating using blunt pencils, which I think lots of people don't like to do.
Perhaps too your tone is a little harsh to someone exploring a new medium.
