Derwent Inktense Pencils & Oil Pastels with VIDEO

Derwent Inktense pencils and oil pastels are a power combo if you love bold color. I have a couple of paintings here in my Strathmore toned tan sketchbook. Use your art supplies together to their best advantage! I laid the foundation with the pencils, activating the bold ink with just a bit of water. There’s no need to saturate with a lot of water for the best effect. Then, I went in with my oil pastels for a dimensional creaminess. I finished up with the amazing Sennelier gold for some shimmery touches. Check out the video below!

I love orange, lime, and teal together. So cheery! This is a second painting, and I love the boldness. 🙂 Don’t forget the video below!
