Understanding the Properties of Inktense Pencils

Before discussing the best paper for Inktense pencils, it's important to understand the properties of the pencils themselves. These pencils are made with water-soluble ink that contains pigments that are activated when they come into contact with water. The ink is designed to be permanent once dry, which means that the colors will not smudge or fade over time.

The Inktense pencils are unique in that they can be used both dry and wet. When used dry, they provide a vivid, intense color that can be layered to create depth and dimension. When water is added, the colors become even more vibrant and can be blended to create beautiful watercolor-like effects.
