Coloring Fabric with Inktense Pencils 

Great video, very informative, thank you 🙂

wow

Thank you so much for this. This answered some questions I have and gave me more ideas. My family may not see me again for quite some time.

fantastic teacher! thank you for getting right to the how-to without yammering on about useless malarky🤪. Learned more from you in this 20 some minutes than hours of watching other inktense videos. Now gonna watch some of your other videos🥳🥳. The freezer paper tip was the best!🎉🎉🎉

Oh my goodness . . . just beautiful! I have been watching RU-vid videos on how to use Inktense pencils on fabric for over two years, and you are the FIRST artist who has EVER mentioned the "outliner" pencil! What a game changer! I--of course--only bought the set of 12 Inktense pencils which does not come with the outliner. I will soon be purchasing some of these for myself. THANK YOU again for this wonderful video!

Great Idea drawing the dragonfly onto the shiny side of the paper

Thank you, what a revelation, I have found a whole new way of expressing my art!

beautiful

Wonderful video! Thank you so much.

Wonderful video! This is packed with tons of info and it was done in such a relaxing and supportive way that I feel much more knowledgeable and confident going forward! Thank you so much!

Monique! Where have you been all my creative life! I just found your video and WOW! a whole new world just opened up!! I bought the Inktense Pencils last year and they have just been sitting on my shelf, until today! I’m going to try some of your terrific ideas now. This approach is a total revelation. Bravo and thank you so much for your clear inspiring tutorial. I can’t wait to hear (see!) more. So grateful.

Great video I learned so much I’m getting ready to paint on a ready-made coverlet which has big designs on it and I’m gonna color those in. Thank you so much for helping me learn how to use these and content pins and you were very great by the way.

Omg. One of the best presentations of this technique ever. Great job nice voice to listen to!!

THANK YOU!!! You did such a great job explaining this - your instructions are very clear, your camera clear and steady, good lighting, excellent narration!!!! YAY! Can't wait to try this!

this is going to be such a game-changer for me!

Thank you so much for your demo! I’ve had these pencils for over 10 years and have rarely used them! Beautiful examples. ❤️

Thank you so much you gave me some great tips!

Love that crayon and stitching on top so effective 😍😍😍😍😍

Thank you for a very well explained video.

So excellent teaching!

Wow just wow! Absolutely stunning.

Excellent video! ❤ thank you so much.

Learned a lot from you, thank you 😊

Hello Monique, I've just been learning how to use inktense pencils (as a watercolorist) and was searching for tutorials. Great video. I'm especially excited to learn you live nearby, in Montana. Small world.

wow!!!! brillant

Great tips, thank you.

Love your video. Very informative.

That was a fun new idea for me!

just learning about these pencils. Got a set of 12 and can't wait to start

Love it!!

Another use force my Inktense pencils that I had no idea about. Thank you!

Excellent lesson

Great video thank you

Brilliant tute, thank you so much. Made my own fabric medium from glycerin so looking forward to using all your tips and techniques xoxox

I had an idea to make a quilted piece for a friend to hang of a painting she did in a class that she gave me. My idea was to find a batik fabric for the background but now, I could just make a batik-like fabric of my own. Thank you for this demo.

Love these ideas. You do beautiful work!

Very well explanation. Excellent demonstration!

What a FABULOUS tutorial. I am starting to understand a lot of things that can be done with the Derwent Inktense pencils. Thank you Monique . I love your excellent diction and your lovely soothing voice. And I especially LOVE that you used the word FUN so many times. In these times of still being quarantined, we NEED TO HAVE FUN

Thank you! You inspired me to try!

Thank you so much I learned a lot!!!

Having just splashed out on some Inktense pencils this was a fab-u-lous tutorial to give me the confidence to try a watercolour technique on fabric. I’m a great dressmaker, but a poor artist, and wanted to create a special gift for my mother this Christmas. As she is a botanical artist, but now in her 80’s with arthritis, she has changed over from watercolour to coloured pencils. I have started to make her a pencil roll to store her fancy watercolour pencils. I am decorating with the Inktense pencils using Tim Holtz autumn blueprints stamps as my outline. I was having trouble controlling the bleeding but now with your help I have got to grips with the basic technique. I know she’ll love it however it turns out, but now I will be proud of my gift. Something positive has come out of 2020 for me, thanks to you 😊

This was so helpful. Ive just discovered Inktense so well done you for sharing your knowledge and ideas!

Congratulations you earned a new friend 😄

Geweldig zo duidelijk deze uitleg 👍😀

Thank you so much for this informative video Now I know what I need to do NOW😁❤️

Great introduction to Inktense pencils. You covered a lot of information I. A short time. Materials, options, effects of different techniques. I can't draw but I can trace and color inside the lines, usually. You have a very relaxed teaching method. Thanks for taking the time to provide an inspir6video.

Love this video. Great information and easy to follow instructions. Look forward to trying Inktense pencils on fabric 🎨

Excellent tutorial, thankyou

This was very informative! Thank you for such a thorough video! Your work is beautiful!

Thanks! What a thorough demonstration. Your work is lovely.👍🏽😍

Great presentations! Thank you so much. Greetings from Argentina.

Wow! What a fantastic tutorial! Thank you SO much xxxx

Thank you, very comprehensive I learnt a lot.

fantastic video !!!!! Precise and informative.

Excellent and in depth tutorial. I really appreciate the different applications and versatility of use you have shown. Thank you so much for the inspiration

Thank you for this comprehensive and inspiring tutorial 😀

This was an incredible presentation, THANK YOU!

Hi! Thanks for sharing your expertise. I bought an Inktense set of 72 pencils two years ago. I tested the colors, but I was afraid to use them. Yesterday, I watched your video, so well presented, so many techniques, that I was finally encouraged to try them. I painted a Moon Moth on a white blouse. It turned out absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for your generosity.

27:47 Your video just popped up & it is very timely. I want to try using my Inktense pencils for writing in calligraphy on fabric. TFS!

I am totally new to this coloring of fabric. But I want to learn it to magnify my embroidery. I really apprecited your explanations and demos. Thank you very much for your time.☺☺

Wonderful with detailed instructions. I might even try some of the techniques. Thanks

Thank you so much for this wonderful video tutorial. You're the best teacher I've come across on RU-vid. The work you did on fabric with the stitching on top of the Inktense pencil colours was really gorgeous. Love from Amanda Jones in Melbourne, Australia ❤

I just found your sight, and I really loved it!! I’ll be back for another fun lesson. ♈️

Hi! So glad I watched this! I have a set of Inktense pencils and haven’t done much with them yet. So many great ideas. Good to see a Fab Fuzer!

What a great tutorial! Thank you so much for this. I am going to work with my 8 year old grandchild for making some fabricplay with her! 💟 Dear greetings from Bavaria

Thanks great video and you are an excellent instructor

OMG that's all beautiful ❤️ i love the way you explain how you coloring with inktense pencils 😀

Awesome tutorial. Thank you so much.

This is a perfect tutorial for helping me to get started with my pencils, which I have already had for a year! I have some specific projects in my mind, and I did not know how to get from a photo to a drawing on the fabric. Thank you!

Learned a lot! Thank you!

This is so cool!! I was watching inktense videos for card makers then you popped up. I used to embroider and I think I’d like to try this sometime. Thank you!

Great ideas!! Love all of them specially mixing colors with appliqué. You are an artist!! Beautiful work 😍

OMG I love this option, I do both quilting and embroidery work and this will solve so many issues I have been having with my own designs, I tried the fabric pens but I could never get the shading right at all. I already have the Inktense pencils for my other hobby lol so I can see they will be making their way to my sewing table😹thank you for sharing🤗🤗🤗

Excellent!

WoW great technique thks

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just purchased the inktense pencils and also fabric paint. I have a small sewing business and this gives me so many ideas to up my creativity for my business.

I learned a lot ❤ thank you

I absolutely love using inktense on fabric! I never thought about using the iridescent medium!! I am trying my hand at doing some quilting projects with the pencils :). Awesome video!

So much useful information and tips. Thank you!

You helped a lot you really helps a lot thank you

This is very good. Thank you.

Thank you for this fun video I am intrigued with textile art as want to experiment so this is such a good video for me. I have been looking at fabric paint but using the pencils with the medium very effective also as like you said so intense 😀😍

Thank you! Great information and inspiration that I’ve been looking for! I have intense pencils and didn’t know there is one for outlining! I’ll have to look for it

Beautiful work!

WOW! fabulous video. I have been using inktense pencils for a while and your video helped clarify some issues like water vs medium. You video has great ideas for transfering patterns onto cloth to quilt and then paint!!! 18 stars...best ever.

WTH, what an idea! Awesome! You covered all the bases, even on options for the outliner pen. Do the colors not bleed at all? Great idea, you go girl! Your tricks opened up a whole new realm of possibilities with fabric. Subscriber from sunny Florida.

Excellent tutorial! I just started experimenting with inktense pencils and you shared so many wonderful ideas! 🥰❤️🤗

Very helpful!

not to take away from this great video but if you, like me, already have derwent watercolor pencils (and can't justify or afford inktense) the watercolor pencils work GREAT with the fabric medium process! I tested today with liquitex fabric medium on cotton and heat set with a dry iron. The color stayed vibrant and did not wash out with hand soap. The test I did with just water and pencil washed right out.

Great video! You deserve a better camera. Thank you.

I’ve watched a number of inktense videos starting with Helen Godden in Australia and slowly getting to use paints on fabric with Free motion quilting (FMQ) and understand how the medium works to confine the color spread. Muslim apparently also can do that but I’m a quilter so I have already used it to embellish or alter the fabric I have rather than buy more fabric. Love the outline and fabric iridescent medium I’ve Not seen those elsewhere and this is a good review on basic techniques as well. My next project will be a landscape panel of my own. I do use a light box to transfer coloring books, stencils, or just photographs taken from uncopyrighted items which I alter. So I am reviewing a lot of the videos to refresh my knowledge and ran across this one, and like the additional sparkly medium, I want to try that. I usually outline with a fabric marker and stitch over that. I also didn’t know freezer paper could be used as a transfer medium. I also have used friction pens and Clover makes a white one for dark fabric those are iron erasable!

I've watched every video I can find on using Inktense pencils on fabric. Yours was one of the best. This is the first time I've heard of iridescent medium. Is this medium specifically for fabric? If so, what brand name? I found iridescent medium online for acrylic paints, but I'm not sure that you can use it on fabric, particularly if you wanted to wash an item.

Can you do a tutorial that concentrates on the iridescent medium please.

Excellent lesson! Is the fabric stiffer with the water or the medium? Harder to hand embroider through?

I'm just getting started I don't even have my my daughter has two pencils and I want the sticks

What an excellent tutorial! Although I used Inktense Pencils a few years ago to make some curtains your demonstration taught me a lot of new things, especially the use of the outliner pencil! I had just never used it. I have one question: I have a large bottle of fabric medium, rather than buy another bottle of iridescent medium could I add glitter dust to the medium I have to get the same effect? Might that work? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and beautiful work with us.

Thank you for this tutorial. Will the colour that was applied using fabric medium fade with washing? I want to add some colour intensity to a quilt that will be used and washed.

Thanks! I learned a lot! I’m thinking of using my Inktense pencils to “decorate” a white jean jacket. I think I should practice before starting the jacket. My question is, will denim respond differently than a cotton fabric? I wouldn’t want any big surprises!

Thank you! Can you use clear aloe vera gel instead of fabric medium?

Great video! You are awesome! Where does one find printed fabric like the one that you are painting?
