I was super excited to see that Derwent added 9 new colors to the Inktense range in their new paint pan sets! Let's take a deep dive into the paint pan range in this review. This paint set was provided to me by Derwent with no expectation of a review.
*Affiliate links to Blick used in this post. You can find all of the Inketense Paint Pan sets and refills here for 35% off retail: shrsl.com/2rseb
Overview: The Derwent Inktense paint pans feature the same formulation as the Inktense pencils and blocks but in a convenient half pan. They are available in 2* sets of 12 colors or in a set of 24 comprising all of the colors. Open stock is available and the standard half pan size will fit standard watercolor tins should you want to add a couple of colors to your watercolor palette. These are not watercolors, they are water-soluble ink that claims to be permanent (insoluble) when dry but you can use them as you would a watercolor.
*Note, Blick shows 3 different sets of 12 and one set of 24. The Derwent site shows set #1 and se2 #2 of 12 colors each and a set of 24 shrsl.com/2rseb
Pros:
*Price (half or less of what a professional watercolor set costs)
*Good color selection
*Layers well
*Permanent on fabric
*Lightfast info available: 22 colors are #8 (very lightfast) on blue wool scale with Fuschia a #6 and Cherry a #4. See ratings: media.accobrandspartner.com/a...
*Vegan friendly
*Open Stock available
Cons:
*I did have some lifting on watercolor paper even with very diluted paint.
*The white plastic palette will stain
Overall I recommend these for artists. I think they would be very nice for quilters and fiber artists wanting to design custom fabric. These would be a nice addition to a set of Inktense pencils but might be a bit redundant if you already have the bocks. I love that they picked mostly lightfast colors for this set.

Excellent information. I’m excited about new colors. Hopefully, they’ll eventually make those colors in the pencil form but, if not, I’ll pick up some open stock pans. Thank you for your informative reviews - you cover all the bases!

@susieqlalonde9352 3 года назад

Thanks so much for thos review. I recieved the 72 set of inktense from my husband when they first come out. Since then they remain my favorite watercolor type pencil and have replace a few of them open stock since. These will be the perfect additions to my inkense collection and I was lucky enough to pick up both sets of 12 in the nick of time before they sold out at blicks. I am pleased as punch and am so anxious to use them. Always a huge fan of your videos! Thanks again

@barbaraburns 3 года назад

I love your reviews sooo much!!! Thank you! I have been debating whether to buy the Inktense paint pans or the full tin of 72 blocks since watching this after it first came out. I took the plunge today and ordered the tin of 72. I may buy the pan set later :) so that I can easily choose to work non-lightfast or lightfast depending on the project.

Thank you so much Lindsay. I have just ordered the 24 paint set and the 12 pastel set. After watching your reviews on this subject.

@bbrown8353 3 года назад

These are very tempting - and so are the pencils! I have the blocks and use them for atr quilt/thread sketching mostly. The vibrancy is amazing on canvas and linen, I've done a barrel bag that I've used and washed and it is still bright and vibrant. BUT I never thought about lightfast - on the other hade if these things are around after I'm gone they will be considered "age" and a little fading may be a good thing lol. I will pay attention to using more threads to enhance my artwork. Your use of watercolors with pencils or markers over it to finalize details always inspires my intense/thread sketching work. I find I learn so much more from those artists like you who work in mixed media and many techniques translate well into fiber art. My next attempt is going to be geli plate printing on fabric! I have the supplies to make my own from your old video on that because I want to do either 10X10 or 12x12 and those plates get a little pricy when I'm not sure if I'm going to really dig in or it will be another medium I'll test out and find it's not my cup of tea!

@darcyvanpelt8131 3 года назад

I'd love to see some of your art quilts! I've got the inktense blocks and pencils so I'm set there but I enjoyed your review!

@catbraunwell6450 2 года назад

I got into inktense after COVID lockdown and I just love them. I bought a little travel box(metal) and put 20 of my favorite pans in plus one of neutral tint watercolor. These little boxes hold 21 of the small half pans that come with the ingredients. But I don’t want something quite so big to fit in my little travel bag and this works perfectly. There were a few colors I found I never use as much as in some reds and one green I think. I take it everywhere with a few travel brushes and a hot pressed and a cold pressed sketchbook. They react quite differently on the two papers and I find them a little more permanent on the hot pressed. Thank you for your review it was fun.

I have some of the inktense pencils and love them, but I have so many art supplies I do not need to buy anything else. I prefer concentrating on using them more. I can't say it's easy, as I like to collect art supplies, but it's gotten to a point where I am feeling so overwhelmed, I rarely create anymore.

@starvingartistscollective 3 года назад

Yeah, that's me too.

@thefrugalcrafter 3 года назад

When that happens is best to pull back from buying. Make a limited supply kit and work from that and add to it from your stash once you exhaust your ideas.

Great review - I would be really interested in seeing your art quilting, as it's something I've not heard of before. My mother used to quilt and I inherited her quilting materials - but have never really been into quilting, so maybe it could be a new avenue for me to try. Thanks

@gaila.c.602 3 года назад

Hi Lindsay, I have debated about whether I should get any inktense products or not, over the past few years. I've heard many people complain that they aren't as permanent as advertised...So, that's very interesting info regarding wetting the paper first.. Thanks!

@proficyink2114 Год назад

Just to let y'all know if you purchased the two 12 pan sets. Set 1 and 2 have the same colors that this set has so don't buy both thinking your getting more colors. I checked the color list and compared on Amazon since I got the two 12 sets right when they came out....Enjoy everything this young lady does. keep it up. I am a true fan.

I am going to try to get these for sure. I have the 36 set of pencils and I considered getting the blocks for more even washes. However, for the price of these I think this is a way better deal. Thanks for doing the review, I am definitely going to look into these as I love the pencils.

@LanaGoesArt 3 года назад

I don't have this set, but they look so nice in the palette - also I like the layout a lot and the removable trays. If the paints were ever to be used up, it would be a great one to be refilled. I also wonder, if full pans (maybe the ones by White Nights?) would fit in the area for the brush... Thanks for the awesome review. I love that you take your time and throroughly test the paints before you form an opinion.

@TheSpinDoctor 3 года назад

If memory serves (not used my Inktense palette in an AGE as not been travelling!) that plastic makes water bead up anyway, so if the staining concerns you, a quick, thin coat of PTFE Dry Lubricant Spray (from electrical retailer or hardware store - dries in 5 mins) won’t change the beading up but will stop the staining. Re-do every 6-8 weeks.

@JoAnneMOwens 3 года назад

Thx for the review, Lindsay, very informative. I thought I would mention something I heard from another RU-vid channel with references to gouache. The channel owner used a very light wash of gouache as an under painting on watercolor paper. She said doing so helped subsequent layers of gouache to be more stable and not lift as much. That it formed a solid foundation to work on. Sounded to me like you have made the discovery as well, but with the Inktense pan set. I wonder just how much of the Inktense formulation is using ingredients found in gouache?

@thefrugalcrafter 3 года назад

Interesting, thanks!

Hello Lindsay, As always, enjoyed your video. I was wondering if you ever tested out the Dainayw 48 metal/tin set of watercolors that includes 2 brushes and some watercolor paper? Also, the Artistro 48 watercolor paint set in the neat teal & embossed gold metal tin? Thank you so much for your videos. I am a graphic designer, but have been a stay at home mom for a very long time. My husband is building me an outdoor art studio and I am getting back into painting. In art school we just used the cheap Crayola type watercolor sets because we used so much of it for large watercolors. I never bought myself nice watercolors until now. I did not know where to start. Your videos have helped me out TREMENDOUSLY and I have already bought myself several brands (student and professional), and am enjoying painting again after all these years. Thank you so much for your positive and fun attitude. You are truly an inspiration. Have a wonderful day!

@thefrugalcrafter 3 года назад

I'm not sure on those sets, there are new ones popping up everyday that are the same, just branded differently.

@catzrulez910 3 года назад

I love this palettes design💕 i prefer paints arranged in lesser "rows". Its like memorizing 2 sentences when each one has their own row, instead of them being congested into 4 rows?? Sorry if that sounds confusing😅 Also, the longer profile allows to place longer brushes or more stuff like pencils, pens, or even rulers👍

@crmfineart 3 года назад

Derwent is a great brand! They are well known for their pencils.

@mari5832 3 года назад

I so enjoy your reviews. Thank you. I do have a question. You mentioned wetting down the pans. Once they dry, is it difficult to get them started the next time? I once had to sharpen down a pencil after having touched my wet brush to the tip and then it drying. I believe it was a "one-off" as other pencils were fine. Thank you in advance. Have a fantastic week.

@thefrugalcrafter 3 года назад

No, they rewet great, in fact dont pre spray them or you will get too much paint activated

Thank you for the interesting review as usual! I am told that these are INDIA ink (as opposed to the other forms of ink). Do you have any thoughts on how they compare to, say, Dr. Ph Martin's India Ink in terms of about everything you've talked about and maybe things like fabric printing?

@thefrugalcrafter 3 года назад

I haven't use Dr Martins india ink on fabric so I can't compare. The Dr Martins in does not move on paper after it has dried like intense can a bit. Also the dr martin ink has a bit of a gloss to it, probably a shellac in the ink that inktense does not have, it is matte when dry.

@aprilbrown8081 3 года назад

I’ve got the full set of block and pencils. And also somehow a small set of each as well. I’m not making art to sell at this point, so I think I’ve got enough here without those pans. I did buy the Graphitint pans, because...yeah I’ve got no good reason. Just like to play with all the things. Lol

@melissaaldosari8024 3 года назад

Thank you for this wonderful review! I am a little confused by the name. They are calling it a "studio" set. Usually when something has the word "studio" it means it is a student grade product. This set doesn't seem student grade, since they have gone to great lengths to make it mostly lightfast. I wonder if they are just suggesting it should be used in one's studio, rather than plein air? Or are they saying it is intended for students...?

@thefrugalcrafter 3 года назад

the travel sets of 12 are meant to take on the go and the studio set it meant to stay in the studio, weird huh?

@lanabedae 3 года назад

I've been eying this set. As you mentioned this would be good for underpaintings due to the vibrancy of the color which is what I would plan on using this set for. What's made me hesitant and kind of annoys me that there are two pans that don't have a score of 8 (4 and 6 respectively). The cherry red seems really out of place in that regard.

@StephanieLMedina89 11 месяцев назад

Hey Linds. I currently have the 24 inktense pencils and I kinda love them. Not sure if I want to go full set syndrome and get the 100 set (which yes will give a few duped) or get the blocks. Thoughts?

@thefrugalcrafter 11 месяцев назад

Well, they put the most useful and unique colors in the smaller packs and they blend well so I'd probably add blocks to the pencils

@hansendesigns 2 года назад

Thx for the lightfastness chart link. I wonder if you could make a lightfastness test vid for this. It seems the pencil sets are rated worse than the pans.

@thefrugalcrafter 2 года назад

I live in Maine and the sun isn't really strong enough to do a proper test. I rarely see fading in products except alcohol marker swatch cards hung on my wall. If trust Derwent charts. They are very conservative with their ratings.

@carolatchley3797 3 года назад

I feel good today! 🧜‍♀️ Edit: Hm, I got 2 natural brown instead of a Payne's grey. Do I contact Blick or Derwent for that? Sorry for asking that here, I've never gotten a wrong color in a set before. Yay! Great review. I bought these and the graphitint set (although the graphitints are on back order. ;-; ) My 24 set came with a capped water brush. Maybe they changed it after people asked about it? I haven’t gotten around to painting with these yet. >.> Shame on me! I know! This video was the kick in the rear I needed to finally unpack the beautiful palette. :) Thank you Lindsay!

I think either place will help you out, I emailed Derwent because I had a bad pencil in my lightfast set purchased off amazon and they sent me out the replacement , take a photo of the set with the dupe and they should send you out the missing pan.

@@thefrugalcrafter Thank you! I will contact Blick then. XD Derwent is so far away in Britain.

I got a mixup with my graphitint set. I contacted the shop I bought them from who got straight on to derwent and they sent me a replacement.

i have a small set of derwent intense pencils, i found the same 'movement" or lifting once dry that you showed with the pans. In most cases, if i wet the color after one light layer and make sure it all dissolves, it won't lift later. This means to get a dark color i had to do several layers, wetting after each layer, which is a bit inconvenient.

Bought this paint pan as a birthday present right after watching this review ! But the blocks keep falling off of the pan :( I read that you can stick it down with elmers glue , is it true ?

@thefrugalcrafter 2 года назад

If you use them a lot the water will stick them down. I haven't tried glue but gum arabic (watercolor binder) would definitely work.

@capbin146 3 года назад

Not sure I understand the difference between these and the blocks. Got the pencils and like that you put the colour down and then fix and blend, Would the white spots lift as they are on top of another layer and in the butterfly video you talk about too thick a layer lifting as if it has to be in contact with the paper. Love your enthusiasm and energy.

@thefrugalcrafter 3 года назад

You can use the blocks like the pan paint. The only difference is the white seems more opaque and there are some new colors.

@Melissa_Melissa_503 3 года назад

Will Derwent plan to offer the new colors in the blocks and pencils? Thanks for being a great trustworthy art information Source

@thefrugalcrafter 3 года назад

I don't think they are expanding the lines

@dees3179 3 года назад

I love the new purple colour in the pans that doesn’t exist in pencil or block.

@LaraCroft2169 2 года назад

I would like to know how they compare to just using the blocks like paint

@thefrugalcrafter 2 года назад

The pans are smoother and more like gouache but if you already have the blocks you might as well just use those.

@TheTinyrobot 3 года назад

So for someone who only do abstract backgrounds or swatches, never actually paint a subject or landscape etc, are these worth buying or can i just stick to my ordinary watercolors?

@thefrugalcrafter 3 года назад

I'd get these if you want a lightfast paint you can layer over easily. If the watercolors you have are good for that you don't need these.
