IN THIS VIDEO: I unbox one of the new paint pan sets from Derwent their line and wash paint set*: https://amzn.to/3l78Uwb and give it a quick swatch and sketch.

This little compact set contains 12 x paint pans, 5 x mixing palettes, 2 x Line Maker Pens, 1 x sponge, and measures (W x H x D) 170 x 139 x 23mm.

Included are 6 Inktense (intense inklike colour, permanent once dried), 4 Graphitint (graphite with colour for dramatic tonal work) and 2 Pastel (gouachestyle pigmented paint in soft pastel shades) paints. To be honest it was a little tricky to work out which were which initially!

The colours are Sun Yellow, Mango, Poppy Red, Autumn Red, Port, Bright Blue, Paynes Grey, Ocean Blue, Meadow, Artichoke, Natural Brown, Storm Grey.

I will be using this little kit more over the next few months so will report back when I've tested it a bit more, but wanted to swatch and share a quick sketch as soon as I received it!

*This is not sponsored and I bought the kit with my own money.
