Its sooo Inktense

Hi everyone,
I managed to get my hands on a pack of 24 Derwent Inktense pencils at the weekend and today had a chance to play and decided to record it at the same time.
For those of you who have never heard of Inktense, they combine intense colour with a translucent ink like effect. there is more info in the video but this is my first attempt with these and compared to my Derwent Aquatone watercolour sticks, which I also love the Inktense colours are far more vibrant.

Above is the bisque piece from the video, finished with a little distress ink on the edges and script stamped with copper Stazon.

Anyway without boring you any more here is a little time lapse video
