Testing Derwent Inktense Paper: Worth the Hype?

In this video, I'm using the most expensive watercolor paper I've ever bought with my inktense pencils. I'll share about this paper, how it works, and how I use Inktense water-soluble pencils to create a finished piece of art that looks like realistic watercolor. Enjoy!

Funny how many YouTube watercolor artists talk about how to prep the paper, but not the paper itself. Let alone making a comparison. When I was young, before YouTube, most of what I learned was through experimentation. That's expensive. This is a really good video. I Use Arches and only Arches for my best paintings. Strathmore 400 for when I'm trying something out or just having fun. I really hope you get to use all the paper. Not cheap. As always, thanks so much for you wonderful, fun videos. Cheers

The texture of the paper actually looks really cool on the elephant's skin! Lovely!

Thank you for the test! I love inktense products.
I had the same experience with lifting the Pigment again, but only for the browns. I wasn't able to reactivate, for example, the blue tones. In addition, I found that the browns leave the most not solved pigments, which leads to a more noticeable texture.

I absolutely love using Inktense. I have both the pencils and blocks and want to use them more. Thank you for the inspiration and lovely video. :)

This is fascinating, what a wonderful video ☺☺☺

I'm honestly shocked at the price tag of that paper 😮 Your artwork is stunning, and this review was very informative, but I don't think I'll be trying that paper anytime soon, I'll be using my Arches :)

[arcuda]

the price seems incredibly prohibitive to me.. I've spent money on wonderful papers, arche, fabriano, stonehenge, but the price of these derwent pads feels crazy to me .. just doesn't feel worth it .. loved your demo

[bellawithaquarela]

Absolutely adorable. Amazing work as always, Françoise. 😍

[letsrokart]

Aaaawwww, i love your elephants❤❤❤ i tried drawing them for short time ago with coloredpencils and watercolored pencils, too😊

[PaulaScardamalia]

Cute without being cutesy. :) I'm going to have to buy and try some of those Inktense in pencils and blocks.

I want to try the regular artist Derwent Watercolour Pencils. I know that those watercolor pencils are inferior to Albrecht Durer and Museum Aquarelle in terms of lightfastness but I found out that its 36 is significantly cheaper than the Albrecht Durer's 36 and as far as I know, their Browns and the least saturated colours are at maximum lightfastness.

Wonderful video. Curious about how the Arches hot press compares to the Derwent paper.

I’d love to see inktense used in a coloring book!

[grannieannie]

I like the paper but I'm not sold on it being that much better than my current paper. It's nice to know it's good quality though.

[bhoffbrand]

Have you tried Inktense with Pastelmat yet?

[AFAskygoddess]

Of all my art supplies, I regret the inktense pencil purchase the most.
I think that I expected them to be similar to watercolor pencils, but with a more "inky" quality.
What I get is an unaccomplished, juvenile looking artwork. I just gave up!
I'm a good artist, EXCEPT when I use these pencils. 😢 It's absolutely embarrassing.

I found my watercolours yesterday, they have been lost for 5 years. They are the Winston and Newton brand.

[KobieK]

Lightfast paper is the smooth (hot press) paper. This one is the cold press. British way of confusing everyone. Regardless, it’s not worth the cost given the many alternatives that are better and cheaper.

[marlenaamalfitano]

I appreciate you doing this, but I would never buy this paper it is far too expensive

[MissCarol-gb]

Are you kidding me! Way too expensive!
