- Derwent sent me their new Inktense Paint Pain Travel set to try out. This is supposed to be perfect for plein air painting. I've not been one to love painting outdoors in the past, will this small travel set change my mind?

Seriously, how many times can I say "so much fun" in one video? I need to work on expanding my vocabulary lol!
Are these lightfast and have you tested the claims for permanence? I know you have done Derwent InkTense paintings but will they stand the test of time? (I did a painting with Sennielier Oil pastels and hung it outside, in the elements but protected by an overhang...After 2.5 years of every weather imaginable, the colors and painting itself are amazingly still like I did it yesterday...Watercolors would not withstand this test but I wonder how InkTense would do)
I have paintings done with cotman watercolor almost 2 years ago that live on my very bright sun porch and they have never faded. Of course I picked lightfast colors to paint them with lol....... After the watercolor pencils I was waiting for a pan set! And I wasn't disappointed 😁
I enjoy your enthusiasm. Don't worry about the vocabulary!
This makes me want to paint outside! 'Don't know if it'll actually happen, though.
Oooh! Everything there is so green!
A-hah! Welcome to the joys of plein air painting Lisa. Your comments about the outdoor painting experience should be a promo for plein air painters everywhere. Interesting little pan set too. I love compact pan sets, but have never painted with Inktense.
Wow, my favourite UA-camrs, Lisa & Steve! Now Lisa is getting into Watercolour that is a collaboration I would love to see 😀. Keep up the good work Guys!
Watercolor in the sun looks so much prettier too!
That seems like a really nice way to spend a day. :-) Derwent should sell or advertise these things in hiking and travel magazines and not just art magazines.
I actually paint with my travel kit in the car! To solve the water issue I carry extra water brushes and an small old acrylic bottle of water and they all fit in a pencil box from the dollar store. Loves how excited you were, I was jealous. We are expecting 9" of snow on top of rain and ice.
Looks like SO MUCH FUN!!! Light-fast Inktense pans -- very exciting! The park you were at is beautiful!
oh I love hearing the birds.......what a pretty place to go. So Peaceful. Thank you for getting out in the "wild" :). I wish INKTENSE would put in white with everything!!!
How peaceful 😊
That is the joy of watercolors, it can be as compact as you want it to be. If you dont have a travel set just bring some watercolor pencils, a set of 12 is more than enough etc.
So glad you enjoyed the fresh air and your new experience! It's so good for us to get out of ourselves and feel renewed.
I am SO so so glad you had this experience, I had the same realization a while ago and I feel everything happens for a reason, this was nature calling u to come back and look at your roots, nature is an amazing source of inspiration and peace. words cannot describe the serenity an artists feels when she/he is working outdoors, it's no longer work. awesome! def want to try out this product.
Nice to be out with nature, but agree it’s not always ideal. Love your work, Lisa
I usually only paint with acrylics but you are convincing me more and more that I should branch out! Great video! ❤️❤️❤️🎨🎨🎨

How beautiful, and the birds in the background is so nice...
I don't go paint outside either. I tried in the past and I liked it but the only problem is people. I don't like how they watch me sketch, it makes me nervous. I'd love to do it more often because it is fun. I have to find a nice, quiet spot ;). Loved your painting, Lisa and also the place you went to.
So true, I don’t like being watched either. It’s distracting. It’s natural though, for people to be curious. I think non-artistic types are fascinated with artists, it’s like we are doing something magical. I’d never set up in a busy area, where there are a lot of people!
Well you have blown my impression of your working arrangement out the window. In my mind your studio is outside in the garden of your home. I had never thought it was inside a flat. Funny the way our minds play tricks on us.
So glad to see that your day was made enjoyable by discovering your love for painting outdoors and your work was lovely, maybe we could get to see more of these experiences from you?. It is good to try something different and break away from the familiar and you have inspired me to have a go at sketching/painting when the weather gets better too and I will even look into purchasing this Derwent paint set for myself. Thanks for sharing your day with us. :)
This video was wonderful. I loved the film like quality to it and the voice-over accompanying it. I felt at peace while watching this video, with all the scenery and the beautiful singing birds. :)
I saw someone use this once in the gallery. I was never big into to watercolor, but will definitely try it as it looks very efficient in space and lack of mess for the outdoors.
I just went and bought it, so you get some affiliate credit. :)
Thanks :D
Now, Lisa . . . You have found the next step to unleashing your creativity. I am so excited that you have moved from the comfort of your studio to the great world of the REAL. It is so great that you have made the move and DO keep it up. I know it is a job to video these adventures, but we all would find it a pleasure to go on these trips with you. Working from nature (out in nature) is such a great experience that cannot be duplicated even with the greatest reference photo. You are painting what you see and feel, and not what the camera has seen in a fraction of a second. Now, for you and others in the group, You may want to check out the work of Stefan Baumann from "The Grand View" . He loves and shares his love of working in nature. His videos do not show you how to put the paint on the canvas, but his videos teach why you put the paint on the canvas. Lisa, you have done great, please do continue to 'go outside' and share those experiences with us.
I got mine yesterday, and so far I like it very much. Mostly because of the space it actually has. And that it have the little sponge, that I can clean my tip off on, instead of taking a piece of towel or tissue paper with me. If I want to add more pans with other brands or colors, i can do that too. Only negative thing for me, is that i think the mixing areas isn't deep enough. But I can mix in the chamber where the brush is supposed to be. So I worked that out too.
This set, has the best set-up off all my traveling set's. Just because it actually fit everything I need with me "on-the-go".
I'm very glad to see that you enjoyed painting outside. I'm such an inside person that going outside for any reason, even to get the mail, is outside of my comfort zone. After seeing you enjoy it so much, I'm thinking about giving it a try.......maybe. Your painting is lovely!!!!
Just do it. All you can do is have a great day.
welcome to the world of plein air painting. got one on order so ill give it a good workout when I get it, TFS
So happy you got outside, Lisa! You've inspired me to do some work outside, too.
Great video Lisa! 😁 Yay you liked getting out & painting too. Hubby & I do this every Sunday now. Back in August of last year I told him I need to get out of the house, why don't we try this. So we went to breakfast & then sat for hours sipping coffee & painting/sketching. I think we have only missed doing this like 4 times now since then. If I can help it nothing gets scheduled for sundays. It is so fun & relaxing! From 730am-2pm we are unavailable... except for the kids. 😉 In fact, when my younger step daughter is here with us she goes too & loves it. She's turning 17 and loves that dad & Val hangs out at the coffee cafe painting... she has her own set up I made for her. Just wait until you try wc in pans... you will love this even more! I will say, the creek made me miss living there. I'm sure it's gorgeous there when it's time for the lightening bugs. TFS! 🤗
nice to see getting out of your comfort zone :)
Oh I just SO loved seeing you play like this, Lisa!! ❤️👏🏻❤️
I agree on those itty-bitty water reserves being inadequate but you did great with it!
Thank you for taking me along. 😘
I’m a 220 pound tattooed hard ass!!! I will actually buy this kit and start doing watercolor now because of this video. I’ve been watching tons over videos on small watercolor kit like koi and Stuff. But you sold me on this
Wow that was so nice. I enjoyed the peace and the outdoor noises that I heard while watching your video so if I enjoyed it watching it on my phone I can only imagine the feeling you had being out there in those elements. This was really great Lisa and you know I think this summer I'm going to be outside of my house a little bit more to painting on my patio. Thanks for sharing and I'm not one of those people that really like to go outside cuz it's hot and bugs but I do love love love birds and nature and the trees so I'll probably do it early in the morning. Thank you so much for sharing this I do enjoy your videos and have a pleasant day Lisa.
You were so excited about product I had to order one for myself.
Love you, Lisa......That was a good wake up call for me..............
I love the intro with the dog walking and Lachri saying “Look at that face!” And then his face hits the camera 😂😂😂😂
You live in such a beautiful place. I’m glad your plen air experience was fun. Thanks for the video. 💞💫
I think now with the versatility of compact things and how you can adapt so many things plein air has become more achievable to do and enjoyable, when the weather and surroundings are so nice, it can be the best place for inspiration. Thanks for the review and video, I’m inspired now to grab this and enjoy plein air artwork. I have been lost for motivation and also having no studio at the moment I’ve been reluctant to continue to create. I think this will also help with my depression I feel. Thanks again Lisa. ;)
Loved this video! They look like a blast I may have to grab the travel set for myself!!
Lisa I love you. Thank you for existing.
You definitley live in a beautyful area and so green already. In southern Germany the trees are still bare, only springflowers are around.
So Much Fun ☺ never enough times ! Loved your video! I'm inspired, thank you .The sun is shining,I'm grabbing my new Inktense set ,that I haven't used yet, and heading out doors to have So Much Fun 😉 My new 3 favorite word's 🥰
I considered making one of these from the sticks and using a Portable Painter palette. I might still do that, and include white, since it's reasonably easy to do and the Portable Painter is really awesome for outdoor use when you're knee balancing.
Good demo, Lisa! I just got this set, added white, and couldn't be happier with the product! They dropped the rice, and I jumped all over it. Making a nicer swatch card today, lol!
What a delight to see you paint outside. Such a gorgeous spot and that bird song is glorious! Your little painting is just beautiful. I am happy you will get outside more. Those noisy builders have done you a favour:) A nice silver lining in something irritating and stressful:)
Travel sets are my entire life, and I spend a lot of time coming up with super compact kits PRECISELY for the reasons you said in the beginning (big, annoying, wind, etc) but for the sake of the joy that you found at the end....that’s why I do my best to design compact but super usable kits. Painting “out in the wild” often helps re-center me when I’m feeling a bit rough around the edges and I’m glad you’re now joining the ranks of us UA-camrs who occasionally leave the studio and just find joy in scribbling while oot and aboot. =^.^= hope your future adventures are even more exciting for you!
Oh, and it may be worth it to you to set up a permanent travel kit that just always lives in your bag no matter what, so you can keep a small sealed bottle of water or water flask in your purse, and a spare tripod in there so you’re always ready to just doodle when needed.
Great idea! I love the idea of a "Go Art Bag".
Wonderful. Just received this from Scrawlrbox! NO experience w/ painting, only colored pencils & markers. Fun. TY!
I really love this video!
I loved this video and your reaction to being outside! When I was training new 911 dispatchers, my favorite piece of advice was to take a walk outside during their breaks. It is amazing how it can change your mind-set, clear your head and relax you. I'm so proud of you! LOL!
That was awesome. I wouldn't worry too much about your enthusiasm level, it just shows how much you truly are excited by and enjoy the Inktense travels set. I have the pencils and a small tin of the blocks but have always wanted the large tin. One day! Maybe the travel set too ;)
I love this, @Lachri Fine Art. You did a wonderful job with the cinematography! The camera steadiness was just fine for me and my vision hindrances, you did it well. Happy painting and venturing outdoors, Lisa. And with your camera with you, you can also get some reference photos/footage. Are you going to take this kit to the zoo with you as well?
Lovely peaceful area you have there. I love seeing your art world expand with painting outside, plus your new love of watercolor pencils! I'm not a big fan of painting outside, however this makes me want to grab my field watercolor kit and play outside :D By the way, I remember those apartment days with all the noise... Arghh. Glad you were able to turn it around.
A little bottle that drink flavor enhancer comes in (like mio or oil aid) is perfect for filling the waterbrushes and can fill one about 3 times. I love painting outside and do as often as I can especially from a canoe or kayak so I can get a new perspective. I am so jealous of your summery weather! Oh, when will the intense palette be available in the us, I have been looking for it since a UK pal forwarded an email about it.
EEE!!! Thanks for that tip!! OH! I'm planning to go kayaking in a couple of weeks, I may bring this along!
I know it's available now on amazon, I'm not sure when through the art stores though.
Congratulations LIsa!! I’m so glad that you stepped outside of your comfort zone. I am very curious about their new set. It looks similar to my old Sakura Koi set. It was my first watercolor paint set. I’ve used it on trips to Brookside Gardens, but I’ve always wanted to take a portable version of my Derwent intense pencils (my blocks stay in my studio) on my hikes. I’m planning my first photo/art hike for next week and believe me, even with a check list, I always leave something behind. I’ve started packing extra water, paper towels, bug repellant, etc... in the back of my car for emergencies!! Enjoy! 👍🏾
seems like a sweet set!
Great tutorial
I bought one - but only for the palette which is great quality, snow white and beading disapears almost instantly. Aldo hinges are held by stainless steel pins. Made in UK too !.
Inspiring! i am on my way outside with my inktense blocks.
Oooooh Inktense Paint!!! I bought the blocks, then the pencils, on your recommendation Lisa and I love them! (I was disappointed to not get a set with your art on the front 😩) I love Inktense and am often on my front balcony painting so this set looks brilliant for that and when out and about! So excited! 🤗
I just got the 24 set. Now I want the metallic and graphtint sets. Thanks.
Awesome and beautiful video!! Have you considered owning an art bag from Etchr? Their products have incredible solutions for a portable workspace! The Etchr Slate is definitely on my artist wishlist.
OMG they made a inktense paint pan travel set?!!!!!!!!!! i want it so much. but i could ofc. go buy some more inktense sticks and make a palette.
I had a brand new set, a big set, cost about $300, of Ludwig soft pastels, which are rectangular shaped and very fragile....was using one of those wood easels with the attached paint box, name is escaping me - anyway, it was windy, and at some point when my back was turned, a huge gust blew over my whole set up....one third of the pastels shattered when they hit the ground. I’m not kidding when I say I sat down and cried. That being said, it’s a valuable thing for artists, to work outdoors, from life, and natural light. I don’t do it as much as I should, but when I do, I use watercolor and keep things minimal, a small palette, water, a few brushes and a small WC block. I want to buy the Portable Painter palette, it’s great for outdoor painting.
Got to agree this set is great! I bought it and could paint decent after 2 rounds. Of course, I need some experience to get master level, but very easy way to learn watercolor. Just wish the painting demo was my first painting that looked better. LOL
This makes me want to go outside and paint ^.^ Now if the weather would just cooperate, we're supposed to be getting all kinds of precipitation this weekend in Michigan. Maybe once Spring finally decides to show up I'll give it a go lol
Just find your channel. Your painting turned out great! Subscribed.
Well done, Lisa. I just retired last week. Derwent just made the idea of painting outside very interesting!
Congratulations on your retirement!
Enjoyed seeing that new product. You mentioned that you wish that white was included. You might want to take a piece of white Inktense block and use sticky tack to fix it into the little brush space. I always have a piece of sepia and a piece of Payne's Gray stuck inside my little watercolor tine, so that I can do ink "underpainting" and glaze over the top with watercolor. Also, for painting outside, I use a collapsible silicone cupcake pan liner thingie, or a collapsible silicone drinking cup (try American Science & Surplus for a really neat one.)
I'm personally not a fan of painting outdoors either. I noticed it got windy in the video, too. I hate wind lol. But hey, at least you got away from that construction noise and got to paint something fun. Don't forget your water and tripod next time. :D
I wish they come out with more colors.
Very nice, my "studio" is in my balcony, next to my parrots, and I have a beautiful view, I looove, is the best place ever!! the bad side, the parrots sleep very early, I can't draw at nights!
I really want this set! Derwent teased with this set on instagram while back and I'm waiting bit more reviews. I have so many watercolor pan set, that I honestly don't need new one. But if these would be bit different, because they permanence once dry. But maybe I wait bit more reviews to pop-up.
Ditto! I was waiting for a review because I don’t want to travel with my Inktense blocks and this seems like a wonderful solution.
I agree, exactly!
How beautiful! You're painting is prettier than the actual scene!
Love this thanks
Next time, bring a bucket with a rope, haha. Lovely work. I love to take my paints out with me.
Is the Derwent Inktense pan travel set similar to Turner Gouache travel set? Seems it has the same properties as gouache. Thank you for the review, Lisa.
Plein air is awesome... I'm so jealous of how you nailed the filmography on your first time out! I'm in the middle of editing my first video in ages (thinking its USP was being outside 😂) and it is going to be nowhere near as polished as this. I really need to work on my filming skills... But at least now I've got my first one filmed and partially edited I have a better idea of what b-roll would have been helpful.
I know you've said in the past though that learning you tube is like learning art, you just need to push through the rubbish videos to get better. It is more important to start than to get that first video perfect. It's still hard to put it out there when my taste in videos is far beyond my filming and editing skills though!
The inktense set looks great. I'm so glad you've discovered you can enjoy doing art outside. It can be challenging but it feels good.
PRuddyArt you are way ahead of me, taking the video is okay but can't figure out how to edit, speed up, voice over, none of it. Trying to find a teen lol
NICE B roll!!!!
Leave it to Lisa to find the silver lining in a bad morning!
Awesome.
Hmmm, not sure if I should get the Inktense pans or watercolor tubes to fill a palette for travel instead...
Love your vids Lisa! Which do you feel are easier to use - the Inktense pencils or blocks for beginners? I mainly work in acrylics and am used to being able to paint over very easily. I know inktense are similar. Does the white block cancel out the ink below it so you can start over with lighter colors? I have 12 blocks but am considering investing in more pencils or blocks. If you have a large background, you need to lay down dry color over the entire area so that you can get an even blend, is that right because the colors dry so fast? I think I have been struggling with this the most. Any tips or a vid on best ways to use inktense would awesome! Thanks so much!
I like the blocks better :) I've got lots of tips on using them if you search "Lachri Inktense" :)
I love being outside. So happy you have discovered the joy of plain air! BTW... I forgot the extra water first time too :)
I am envious of you. You go outside.
Green Gables Art, Just do it. You too can go outside. There is a world out there and it is just waiting to have you capture it and express yourself.
These new videos are awesome Lisa! How did you get your shots so smooth? Did you bring s steady cam?
Hi Lisa! Love you and your art. I am a beginner, and have only 12 polychromos. I have 72 set of prismacolors too, after seeing your and other artists'videos, I know they are not good. How can I use my 12 polychromos?
What is this outside you speak off is that where the sun shines and air blows?
I am waiting on you to get "HOOKED" on watercolor :)
Hi :-) Question for you or anyone if time permits... Wondering how this is different from any other set which includes room for a pen? W&N has a seriously nice travel set which includes it's own water bottle so... tell me about the paints please!
Btw, your video is the very time I've ever wanted to try playing with paint outside, so thanks very much for that! The person who said Derwent should advertise in hiking magazines was spot on, lol.
Very nice video.
What did you do with the old Lisa O_o
Man but that travel set sounds good though
Does the affiliate link work with the Uk site or is just America?
so we can say the result for this inktense watercolour pan is opaque ( not transparant ) right?
Hello i need your opinion , I plan to buy derwent color pencil but idk which should i try first , which one is better in your opinion inktense or watercolour ???
Because they are permanent does the palette clean up ok please Lisa?
Yeah, it just wipes clean with water :)
Hi Lisa, is this set available on jacksons art supplies yet? or just straight from derwent
I'm not sure, it's on amazon though I know for sure.
I can't find anyplace to purchase extra pans for replacements once the color is gone.
One step closer to watercolour painting?? ;-)
Is this the same as the intense blocks?
Yep :)
What version of Stonehenge do you recommend
What do you do with the White inktense
Oh envy, everything is already so green where you are!
I like Inktense, but really, "bulk-wise" for going outdoors, there is not much difference to watercolours. I know you don't paint with watercolours, but it puzzles me a little. There really isn't any difference between how you use either medium.
I feel so bad for those of you with snow still! That would not be ideal weather for this project haha!
As for watercolor vs inktense, there is a difference in how watercolor and inktense each react to being layered. I will be doing a video comparing inktense to watercolor pencils soon, but it honestly just comes down to personal preference.
Hi, Inktense works much as watercolors do, and I agree that the Derwent Travel set is very similar to any travel watercolor set like Cotman etc. but in terms of what happens when Inktense dries, the two are very different. Intense does not lift off page or dissolve once dried, being ink not watercolor and this makes technique a bit different, since what you paint becomes permanent, and the end result while "watercolorish" also reflects this. I prefer Derwent inktense to watercolors because of this ink-like permanence.
Yes, thank you :) I know, I use both. But I don't find that the lifting off of colours of the page is a real problem with watercolours, either, you *can* lift off a certain amount of pigment, but if you don't want that to happen, you can still layer beautifully, you just have to work fast and not keep brushing the same spot with the brush, and let everything dry well in between layers. And not use too much pigment at once. So, to me, the technique is key here. I have been painting with watercolors for over 30 years now, and dissolving underlying layers has never been a problem to me.
Inktense are awesome, absolutely, I was just amused (in a good way) that Lisa enjoyed the experience (outdoors, with very little to carry along) so much, when she could have had it with watercolours all along.
Does anyone know if they worked on the lightfastness of the Inktense?
Corvus Corone there is a video about this on UA-cam. They still hold up after 2 years! I don't know if this counts with this set to!
What do you do with white ink tense color?
