Water-Soluble Inktense Formula: Activates with water to produce vibrant, translucent color washes with an ink-like finish.

Multi-Surface Compatibility: Suitable for paper, canvas, ceramic, wood, fabric, and more.

Techniques

Watercolor Effects: Activate the pigments with water to create intense, permanent washes.

For Intense Washes: Apply color dry to the paper, then activate with a wet brush to see pigments intensify.
