Directions
For Intense Washes: Apply color dry to the paper, then activate with a wet brush to see pigments intensify.
Permanent Layers: Allow washes to dry fully; add new layers on top without disturbing previous colors.
Fabric Application: Apply directly to fabric and activate with water. Fix by hand-washing gently with mild detergent in cool water.
For Best Results: Pair with Derwent Inktense Paper, use with Push Button Waterbrushes or Spritzers, and sharpen with a Battery Twin Hole Sharpener.
