I was super excited to see that Derwent added 9 new colors to the Inktense range in their new paint pan sets! Let's take a deep dive into the paint pan range in this review. This paint set was provided to me by Derwent with no expectation of a review.

Overview: The Derwent Inktense paint pans feature the same formulation as the Inktense pencils and blocks but in a convenient half pan. They are available in 2* sets of 12 colors or in a set of 24 comprising all of the colors. Open stock is available and the standard half pan size will fit standard watercolor tins should you want to add a couple of colors to your watercolor palette. These are not watercolors, they are watersoluble ink that claims to be permanent (insoluble) when dry but you can use them as you would a watercolor.

*Note, Blick shows 3 different sets of 12 and one set of 24. The Derwent site shows set #1 and se2 #2 of 12 colors each and a set of 24 https://shrsl.com/2rseb'>https://shrsl.com/2rseb

Pros:
*Price (half or less of what a professional watercolor set costs)
*Good color selection
*Layers well
*Permanent on fabric
*Lightfast info available: 22 colors are #8 (very lightfast) on blue wool scale with Fuschia a #6 and Cherry a #4. See ratings: https://media.accobrandspartner.com/a...
*Vegan friendly
*Open Stock available

Cons:
*I did have some lifting on watercolor paper even with very diluted paint.
*The white plastic palette will stain

Overall I recommend these for artists. I think they would be very nice for quilters and fiber artists wanting to design custom fabric. These would be a nice addition to a set of Inktense pencils but might be a bit redundant if you already have the bocks. I love that they picked mostly lightfast colors for this set.
