Derwent Pencils
http://static.quiltingboard.com/upload/2011/7/27/1311791407786-derwent_inktense_tutorial.pdf
The Derwent Inktense pencils are made of ink which is permanent after becoming wet and then allowed to dry. Water works great if you can control the amount of water in the brush. (Use different sizes of brushes and stroke from the middle towards the edges. Tap the brush on scrap fabric before brushing to remove some water.) Aloe vera gel is a moistening agent which will not bleed. Fabric medium will not bleed and can also be thinned to use to wet the ink, but I think it leaves the fabric a little stiff. I haven't used it enough to really critique it. I don't think you need to heat set the work after it's dry when using water or gel, but I have done it "just in case." : )
Description from the company...
Inktense - Pencil to ink in just one wash.
Pen and ink offers strong, intense colour combined with a translucent effect. Now you can enjoy these distinctive qualities in an easy to use pencil. Inktense has a highly blendable texture and comes in a range of 71 jewel-like colours, plus a non-soluble outliner which allows you to draw outlines that are permanent, even when water is applied. Apply pure, vibrant dry colour then wash the pigment out completely to leave an ink-like effect. Once dry, the colour is permanent and can be worked over with other media. The possibilities are endless, the results stunning.
