SHARON HURST INTRODUCES DERWENT INKTENSE ART MATERIALS

HOW SHARON  HURST USES INKTENSE PENCILS, BLOCKS AND PAN PAINTS

Sharon showed how Inktense pigments are water-soluble - activated by water - but are not removable once dry. They are more saturated than watercolour and do not fade.

She painted an eye on smooth Derwent Painting Pad paper using Inktense pencils and parts of a cotton T-shirt using Inktense blocks. Most of the colour on fabric will remain after washing.


Inktense materials are sold in various sizes. There are two sets of paint pans 


Sharon has even painted canvas shoes


Well-known for her fantasy art, it was fascinating to have a peep at Sharon's sketchbook doodles




 

Here are just a few of Sharon's cards


She also had some of her favourite art supplies, card and DVDs for sale too.


During the interval, many were keen to try the Inktense mediums for themselves.



It was a hugely enjoyable evening. 

Find out more on Sharon's website.  
There are blogs - including the Travelling Brush Dippers - and also details of her Open Studio weekend 26th - 27th November and painting holiday in Peterborough in March 2023.
