Derwent Inktense African Elephant painting demo w/ Lachri

Today I'm working in Derwent Inktense to create this African Elephant. If you've not used Inktense, they are a water soluble ink available in blocks or pencils.

These are not watercolor, but they can get a similar look. Unlike watercolor these are permanent when dry so you can glaze much like you would with acrylics.

Check out my full review and tutorial showing you how to mix the inktense https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJY4uv6mmJ8

Here are my amazon affiliate link for the inktense

Inktense pencils 72 http://goo.gl/P8drPi
While I am using the whole set, you can mix colors easily with these so if you just want to try them out for the first time, the 12 pack of blocks is a decent set to start with. http://goo.gl/3D6tBc

I used a #14 round watercolor brush
1/2" filbert (gold taklon bristles)
#4 synthetic hog hair liner brush
#1 white taklon bristled flat brush
I worked on Fabriano Artistico extra white Hot Pressed 300lb watercolor paper
