Compact Tin of 12 XL Blocks: Sturdy tin holds large, chunky Inktense blocks for convenient storage and portability.

Generous Size: Each 60x20x20mm block offers eight times the volume of a standard pencil.

Smooth Texture: Versatile for broad coverage when used dry and perfect for blending.

Highly Adaptable: Use whole, break apart, or grate to achieve various textures and detailed effects.

Ink-Like Washes: Activates with water to produce vivid, translucent color washes with an ink-like finish.

Works on Multiple Surfaces: Use on paper, canvas, ceramic, wood, fabric, and other porous materials.

• Broad Strokes & Coverage: Use full blocks dry to quickly cover large areas with smooth, bold color.
• Texturing & Detailing: Break blocks for smaller pieces or grate into powder to add texture and fine detail.
• Water-Activated Washes: Apply water over the blocks for intense, permanent ink washes that layer beautifully.
• Multi-Surface Art: Ideal for diverse surfaces like wood, fabric, and ceramic, expanding possibilities beyond paper.

For Intense Washes: Apply color dry to the paper, then activate with a wet brush to see pigments intensify.

Permanent Layers: Allow washes to dry fully; add new layers on top without disturbing previous colors.

Fabric Application: Apply directly to fabric and activate with water. Fix by hand-washing gently with mild detergent in cool water.

For Best Results: Pair with Derwent Inktense Paper, use with Push Button Waterbrushes or Spritzers, and sharpen with a Battery Twin Hole Sharpener.
