Derwent curates three distinct watercolor formulations in one portable palette, each bringing different character to line and wash work. Inktense pans deliver intense, permanent color once dry, ideal for bold accents that won't lift when you layer additional washes. Graphitint pans add subtle, graphite-tinted hues for atmospheric shadows and understated tones. Pastel watercolors provide soft, muted shades that complement rather than compete with your linework. This range lets you shift between vivid statement colors and quiet supporting tones within the same sketch.

Two fine liner pens establish your initial drawing with permanent ink that holds crisp under subsequent washes. The included mini waterbrush eliminates the need for separate water containers, essential for location work where setup space is limited. Twelve half pans fit into a compact palette with integrated mixing tray, keeping your entire line and wash setup contained in one hand-sized unit. Control water ratios to move between delicate transparent washes and concentrated, saturated color passages. Urban sketchers working on site will appreciate how this collection condenses multiple media into a truly portable system without sacrificing color range or technical versatility.
