ThAnk you for showing they are NOT permanent. I have had the pencils since they first came out years ago. I knew they were not permanent thru use and would get so frustrated when people would say they were permanent.
I haven't used my intense a lot, but in my experience every bit of the color needs to be activated on the paper, otherwise the color will move when subsequent layers are added. I agree that testing your paper is always wise. That's particularly important when using an ink that you expect to be waterproof. The sizing or finish of some papers will alter that property. Love how creative you are with stamps! All your doodling adds so much.
Thank you for this video. I had just seen these for the first time in a quilting video about 3 days ago, where the creator was using them on fabric and discussing their permanence. We are spied on so much! I do not watch art or paint craft type videos at all anymore. It's been 7 years or more since my TH-cam feed sends me anything at all, as I am more interested in sewing/fabrics/ sewing machines these days. So when I saw Inktense on the quilting video, I stopped and went to Amazon to look them up amd check the price. Voila! Now Inktense is in my TH-cam feed. This also just made me realize another reason I love Aldi so much. Just like the old days, I can walk into Aldi and give them my money for food without having to tell them who I am so that they can keep track of everything I buy. Computers were supposed to have simplified life, so much for that. At least occasionally I get rewarded with something I actually enjoy - like this video. Thank you.
I love my Inktense pencils! I mainly use them on fabric. When heat set they are definitely permanent on fabric. I really wish I had more of them. Thanks for showing me what else I can do with them.
Your demonstration really leans into the Inktense properties. Thanks for sharing the tips, too, re baby wipes & light grating. And very nice CC stamps.
Amazingly helpful. The strainer is genius (and will work for pastels), but my mind is absolutely blown by the baby wipes. Thanks for this. Great video.
Thank you for showing this video! I really learned a lot. I've never done this before but have been looking for something a little more neat than acrylic pouring because I live in an apartment and can't make a big mess. That looks like the perfect idea for me.
I really love these pencils! I use colored pencils a lot and I love the effect of watercolor so now you get the best of both worlds with these vibrant colored pencils.
I loved it! Nice to see your proses and how you think when deciding to do something new. I love the Mermaid and the walrus with the seagulls. Love Terri Simmers.
The Inktense pencils are so vivid. Your seagull and walrus card is adorable- love how you used the baby wipe application. The tri fold mermaids are divine! Your doodling brought them to life. Colorado Craft Co makes unique and one of a kind quality stamps.
I just discovered you, doing a quick scroll on my YTube suggested list. The teals & turquoises, my ultimate fave colors, on your post caught my eye. I’ve loved art since l could hold a pencil upright. Love making my drawings into cards for family. Got caught up in all the fun card making equipment & supplies about a yr ago, so l haven’t made my own creations in a while. I’ve had the Inktense set for a couple of yrs, watched a lot of demos, l had fun making vibrantly colored doodles. I really enjoyed your demo, l’m going to dust the cobwebs off my Inktense & use them on my cards for a change, coloring is my favorite part of making cards. Thanks bunches for sharing your talent! 💖👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼🙏🏻
Inktense pencils ❤️❤️🥰 Thank you for this detailed discussion. I love them. So much fun. So much fun. Fabulous on cloth too, just set with an iron. The inktense paints have great light-fast rating.
Great informtion and video!!! Love Inktense pencils!! Thank you for validating that they are not always permanent when dry! Thought I was doing something wrong! Good to know it could be the paper. Love your videos!! Thank you!!!
Oh!! How beautifully you used the inktense pencils. I have the set and haven't used them because I haven't had a good experience with them. Seeing your results gives me inspiration to try again. I didn't even know they could be used on their own (feeling silly.) I was taught they were to be used to enhance watercolor. Thanks for the video. Chery C
I love these pencils there my absolute favorites. Haven't quite got the whole set but I'm not far off. I loved watching you use these so many more ideas. Thank you
Learned so much from this video about Inktense that I never knew. Those mermaids are so beautiful! I just know I’m a mermaid as much as I swim and love water.
Thank you so much for taking your time to share a tutorial on inktense pencils, they are beautiful colors. I love all your tips and techniques. The baby wipe trick is really awesome. You are very inspiring. I learn so much from you. You are amazing.
Sandy, I have the Inktense Pencils by Derwent, new to water coloring, been nervous about using them because they were a bit pricy, this tutorial was so helpful. Loving the animals, the v*seals you drew were gorgeous. CCC always knocks it out of the park with there stamps. I love this set because of the Walrus’e’s Animals are my fave to work with. Tysm. Blessings! Taking your class would be the icing on the cake for these amazing pencils.
Well WOW is just the word! amazingly beautiful :) As an older artist, I have never tried these. Oh my! These will be a go - go to try. My favorite medium is pen & ink work. But these might be a LOT of fun. Maybe even to accent some pen & ink's :). Just finished an oil painting 4' x6', "The Great Red Dragon" (now in for copyright) from Revelation 12. He might have been fun using these pencils. But he is finished now and it is hard to beat oils. thank you for such a wonderful teaching video. Thumbs UP to you darlin!!!
Very useful information about Inktense pencils. It explains why I’ve had some mixed reactions to my own experiments with my new set (including noticing that they indeed lift!). Thank you, Sandy. I always learn so much from you!!
Hi, new subscriber here🤗 As I look at all your videos…I’m amazed at how many different things you cover and with such proficiency! Thank you so much for sharing your art and knowledge 🤩🇺🇸
These are so beautiful! I’ve learned lots of new ways to create texture watching you in this video! I tried a card at Christmas with a beachy background and it was just flat although I used blending in the sand area. Using the shaving technique will make all the difference when I try it again!
Very fun lesson and intro to the inktense pencils. I would like to know more about how you mounted your finished pieces on the trifold display. Looks great!
What a great explanation about inktense pencils! I'm missing one idea of how to use them: for extra intense colour, I take the colour of the pencil directly with my brush. It gives really hard lines, so I only use it if I need extra colour in one particular spot. The cards are gorgeous! Love the walrus with his seagull buddies. ❤️
I had to look up the word "Bupkis". Not a southern slang. Cracked me up to hear it though. The Inktense is beautiful. I would have sworn they were watercolors. Now....onto CCC. Thanks for the tip on the Walrus butt. I love this Walrus. Your doodling on the 1st mermaid card is fantastic. What a stunning card with lovely colors. Your doodling is always fun to look at.
I've seen you use inktense pencils before, but this video went into a lot more depth. I think I might have to to add them to my shopping cart! I really like that they don't dry as light as watercolor. You get a much better idea of the actual color. Love the tri-fold underwater scenes. And the walrus is just adorable with his seagull buddies! TFS
Great demo thank you! BTW can you use any tea strainer? I've never seen that idea used before. Learn something new every day thanks to great instructors such as yourself.
Those mermaids turned out so awesome!!👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️I am just getting ready to o start on mine after following my fave Kelly Latevola Taylor!!!! So now you've given me even more inspiration 🎉 I would love to win your project 😃 How?????❤❤❤❤???
You just made me fall in love with Inktense pencils! They are going on my wish list! I learned so many different things from this video, thank you for sharing, I love your teaching style, I love your calm way of speaking, and I especially love your gift of editing your videos❤9:59 am EST
With the blocks, do you need to be careful not to use on wet paper? I was told never to use the pencil on wet paper, as the water soaks into the pigment and "sets" it, making the pencil unusable. Lovely demo. Thanks.
Great video on inktense! I didn’t know you could make paler shades of the pencils. What is the strainer you used and where can you buy it? As always, your videos are informative. Thanks
I have to take out my intense pencils again. 😃😍 Can you give me a link for the grater? I would like to buy one? Thank you for your lovely video’s sandy‼️
I do have a question..you used a small red screened object to make powder, could you please tell what was it called again. Sounds like you said a piece trainer… thank you in advance.
ThAnk you for showing they are NOT permanent. I have had the pencils since they first came out years ago. I knew they were not permanent thru use and would get so frustrated when people would say they were permanent.

I tried lifting after the most oerfectionist blending, same result on Arches.

At least I'm a reward for once. LOL!
I love my Inktense pencils! I mainly use them on fabric. When heat set they are definitely permanent on fabric. I really wish I had more of them. Thanks for showing me what else I can do with them.
Yes definitely permanent on fabric and paper if heat set first.
Such a great, thorough demo of Inktense pencils. I've had them for years and never did anything with the control you taught. Thanks.
Baby wipes ate brilliant, I use them with acrylics, oil, and dry pastels.
Your demonstration really leans into the Inktense properties. Thanks for sharing the tips, too, re baby wipes & light grating. And very nice CC stamps.
You are so welcome!
I had purchased these ink tense to make my own fabric and I love the vibrancy of them. I a. Dairly
Hello Sandy 🖐
Good to see you and your beautiful drawings 👍. Thank you for sharing your beautiful video 👍✨️
Amazingly helpful. The strainer is genius (and will work for pastels), but my mind is absolutely blown by the baby wipes. Thanks for this. Great video.
Glad it was helpful!
Love how you grated the pigment for the sand texture! Lots of great info!
I wish I had known about these before I invested in other types of pencils. Thank you for posting this. Your techniques demo was fascinating. 🍃
This was so helpful!
Adorable cards Sandy! I'll have to dig out my Inktense Pencils!

This is the best demo of the inktense pencils. I need to pull out my set and try your tips and techniques. I love the beautiful projects you made.

Fantastic video! Thanks for this wonderful video and I love how you combined the walrus and the pier stamp set!
Loved this! I learned so much. Thank you for sharing. I had no idea about the properties of Inktense. The artwork came out stunning.
Learned so much from this video about Inktense that I never knew. Those mermaids are so beautiful! I just know I’m a mermaid as much as I swim and love water.

Wow, those are all amazing. Great releases from Anita Jeram 💖
I have never seen anyone explain these pencils like this video. Thanks. Now I see I need to try some 😊
My pleasure 😊
I would love to know how you made the folded black background! This whole piece is beautiful, Sandy!!!
Thank you again! I love your effects
Very useful information about Inktense pencils. It explains why I’ve had some mixed reactions to my own experiments with my new set (including noticing that they indeed lift!). Thank you, Sandy. I always learn so much from you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great info for the Inktense pencils! TFS...❤️
Love Inktense and love your work with it. ❤️
This is very cool…love the strong colors! Great job, as always, Sandy!

Very fun lesson and intro to the inktense pencils. I would like to know more about how you mounted your finished pieces on the trifold display. Looks great!
I just trimmed them and added layers.
First time here. Great instruction and results. Looking forward to more.
Welcome aboard!🥰
Love inktense as wellcas water soluble graphite
Thanks for the video portion on the Inktense Pencils... I have been wondering about them!

What a great video! Loved the Inktense info and the cards are beautiful!!

Great suggestion!
She lied … she is more than an artist ❤
What she does is magical! Sandy must be a magician too!
Thanks for the tips on my favorite medium and tool, i have subscribed
Thanks for the sub! ❤️
Gosh 😀 You are so much fun to listen to 👍 great video, very informative.
I love the must the third card
I had to look up the word "Bupkis". Not a southern slang. Cracked me up to hear it though. The Inktense is beautiful. I would have sworn they were watercolors. Now....onto CCC. Thanks for the tip on the Walrus butt. I love this Walrus. Your doodling on the 1st mermaid card is fantastic. What a stunning card with lovely colors. Your doodling is always fun to look at.
@Luca Angelo Close to the Florida/Georgia line.
I love the doodles!
Great tutorial on inktense pencils, full of useful tips. Your results on the new CCC release are beautiful.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge....

Thank you so much!
Great demo thank you! BTW can you use any tea strainer? I've never seen that idea used before. Learn something new every day thanks to great instructors such as yourself.
I believe so… It just has to grate a fine enough powder. Wash it well if you’re gonna use it for tea afterward.🤣
This was a fantastic video. Loved it start to finish. 🧜♀️🧜♀️🧜♀️👏🏽👏🏼👏🏾❣️❤️🇺🇸
The Inktense pencils can open a whole world of watercolors. I bought them accidentally!😀
Really beautiful, thanks for showing and teach us 😊
My pleasure 😊
I used Inktense on cotton HP paper last night and it refused to lift. The paper matters and the amount of surface sizing.
Yes different papers react very differently.
I'm trying to choose between those and Albrigt Durer. I don't have any Derwents. The Inktense do seem a bit more vibrant.
Inktense are much brighter; tough to get a realistic look but great for bright subjects. My preference is Albrecht Durer ❤️
EXCELLENT TY❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤎🤍❣❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❣❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❣💙💛
Those mermaids turned out so awesome!!👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️I am just getting ready to o start on mine after following my fave Kelly Latevola Taylor!!!! So now you've given me even more inspiration 🎉 I would love to win your project 😃 How?????❤❤❤❤???
That giveaway is over but there’s a new one each month at Artventure!😍
Using the baby wipe is genius.
It's so versatile! :)
Oh! Adorable drawing 💖
Thank you so much 😀
So helpful! If you have a moment could you post a link to the sea lion reference photo? I would appreciate it!!

@@SandyAllnock1 thank you! 😊
Loved your tips🤓
That walrus card would be an awesome Patron gift!
It’s going to be for the February Artventure challenge 🥰
gorgeous 🤩
You just made me fall in love with Inktense pencils! They are going on my wish list! I learned so many different things from this video, thank you for sharing, I love your teaching style, I love your calm way of speaking, and I especially love your gift of editing your videos❤9:59 am EST
I just saw you said walrus not mermaid-yes the walrus goes into the Patreon pile❤️
With the blocks, do you need to be careful not to use on wet paper? I was told never to use the pencil on wet paper, as the water soaks into the pigment and "sets" it, making the pencil unusable. Lovely demo. Thanks.
I guess it depends on the look you want. Sometimes letting that color stay there is perfect.
May i ask what was that tool you used to "grate" the block & pencils? Sorry to bother you. Tx u
It’s a tea strainer. It’s in the supply list but most any fine mesh tea strainer should work ❤️ (no bother, ask questions anytime!)
One more thing baby wipes can do. I keep several packs around the house. Admittedly, this one is a much more fun use than cleaning up cat vomit.
🤣🤣🤣
Great video on inktense! I didn’t know you could make paler shades of the pencils. What is the strainer you used and where can you buy it? As always, your videos are informative. Thanks
It’s in the supply list🥰
I have to take out my intense pencils again. 😃😍 Can you give me a link for the grater? I would like to buy one? Thank you for your lovely video’s sandy‼️
In the description-tea strainer
I’ve never noticed the outliner pencil before. I feel so dumb 😂 Thank you for the enlightenment! I love the seals, made me giggle.
I discovered it by accident 🤣
@@SandyAllnock1 I’m pretty sure I could say that about 80% of life 🤣 thanks for sharing!
I do have a question..you used a small red screened object to make powder, could you please tell what was it called again. Sounds like you said a piece trainer… thank you in advance.
Tea strainer-it’s linked in the supplies 🤩
Ohh ok thank you tea strainer…. Thank you 😊
What did you use to grate the inktense pencil? TIA
It’s a tea strainer, I have one linked in the supply list, but most any tea strainer should work.
A screen mesh tea strainer not the metal with holes.
Thank you!!
I looked on your list of art supplies. I did not see the stamps you used, where are they?
They’re right there in the supply list….🤷🏼♀️
