Pen and ink offers strong, intense colour combined with a translucent effect. Now you can enjoy these distinctive qualities in an easy to use pencil. Inktense has a firm, blendable texture. The colours can be blended together with a slightly wetted paintbrush while applying an overall light wash which creates a vivid, ink-like translucency. Once dry, this wash is permanent so Inktense is ideal for silk painting and other craft projects. Each tin contains 12 pencils.
