Well the work space is finally back in order. Actually it was back in order Monday evening, but I got busy and forgot to do anything for the blog. It's nice to know I now have enough space to be creative when the muse hits.
So what's the first thing I'm going to post about? Wait and see. I have a few ideas floating around in my head to start off with. I'll be sure to get things together and post about them tonight.
In the mean time let's talk Inktense Pencils.

In the mean time let's talk Inktense Pencils.
These beauties are Derwent Inktense Water Soluble Pencils. Think Water Color pencils in how they work. They have two major differences though. First, these are ink based pencils not paint. That means when the water hits them to spread and blend the color you are working with liquid ink not paint. The second major difference is after these dry the color is fixed and permanent. Unlike water color you can't go back and move the color around again with more water.
Intense is a good name for them as the colors are intense and vibrant. Though when they are dry the colors look darker and muted the magic happens with water. They come alive. The more water you add the lighter the color will be. But you can simply add more to darken it again.
An added benefit of the permanence of them is the layering you can do. Once a color has dried you can layer another one over it without messing up the first layer. The second color will be translucent allowing the first color to show through. The more you add the less this effect is visible.
So I ordered a pack of the 24set and they should arrive sometime this week. Once they do I will post on here a little more about them. What I learn and how they work in person compared to the videos I've seen on youtube. By the way, watch a few if you are curious about them. Here's a link to my favorite one. Inktense It has good tips and tricks in it.
Enjoy!
