Welcome to the next video in my Derwent Inktense colour combination series! In this video, I’m sharing 12 green colour combinations created using the full 100 set of Derwent Inktense pencils.
I’ll also be chatting through some tips and techniques for using Inktense, including how to create smooth blends, control your water, and build up layers for a richer finish.
To help you follow along, I’ve included several free downloadable resources in the description below, including the worksheet used in this video, my Inktense swatch chart and conversion charts for colourists working across different pencil brands.
