This is the third version of the Thomas Kinkade, "Guardian Castle". The version was colored with "Derwent Inktense Pencils" and cost about $24.79 for a set of 24.
A little about the Inktense pencils. Inktense pencils can be used dry for rich, intense color or washed out with a little water to create a vivid translucent effect. Once dry, the color is permanent and can be worked over with other media. Although I only had a set of 12, I was able to produce pretty good shading. I use an Aqua Brush to blend out the colors. Because the inks are permenant one they are dry, you are able to build up some pretty nice shading. Make sure that you let the colors dry between layers.
So let's have a look at the card;
"TK Guardian Castle (Inktense Version)"
Although the difference between the three versions is slight there is a distinct difference. It show on very important fact. That no matter what coloring medium you use, you can get beautiful results. So don't be afraid to try different coloring mediums. Try them you may have found your nitch.
So far the opinion of which medium you like best between Copic and Prismacolor Pencil, is 50/50. Let's see how the Inktense version changes the mix.
Hope you enjoy my efforts. Let me know by your comments how the versions compare, and your preference.
Have a GREAT DAY!!!
