Hi All,

Just a fun little sketch of Onions using Inktense pencils.
Paper: Canson C a grain 180 GSM. (Although its a dry media paper, it handled the waterbrush fairly well)

Thanks for looking.

Hi Merriweather, thanks for the appreciation.

Thanks Vena, the intense color is mostly accompanied by intense taste as well

Thanks Joan, the sliced onion was easier due to nature of Inktense, since they provide rich color once wet and don’t dissolve/spread as readily as watercolor pencils.

Thanks Boafamily, I had been eyeing the Inktense set for a really long time & just got it a few months back and am liking these a lot for their strong color

Thanks Penny !

Lovely! I have a bunch and am going to play more with them, I’ve only used them for illustrations that were for an event.

I had to make a chart, the colors can really change once the water is on.

Thanks Robin ! I have made a swatch chart as well immediately when I got the set since I had read online about this issue

Very nice work! You nailed the colors.

I like Inktense pencils, but figured that they belonged in the Watermedia forum.

Thanks jonc50 !

Thanks Lamar, Inktense had a good selection of colors for this one.
I searched the forum for inktense and found some threads related to this so posted it here
Will keep in mind next time.

KJ, that’s just an assumption of my own, and not based on any rule I’ve read or any such! Your Inktense work seems to have been very favorably received here in this forum.

IOW, don’t listen to me

I don’t think there is a problem showing works done with either watercolour or Inktense pencils on this forum. Both can be used dry. Not sure about pastel pencils. Elaine will have to come in with an answer.
