## Overview

Derwent Inktense Block 72 Tin offers professional artists and designers a premium set of 72 water-soluble, highly pigmented colour blocks. These 8mm square blocks deliver vibrant, permanent colour that can be used dry or activated with water for dramatic ink-like effects. The included tin features 12 palette wells for custom mixing, making it ideal for versatile applications on paper, fabric, wood, and more. With a heritage of British craftsmanship since 1832, this set is perfect for those who demand quality, blendability, and lasting brilliance in their artwork.

## Description

Derwent Inktense Blocks are perfect for illustrators, designers, and students. The 8mm square block combines versatile function with vivid colour. Use the block edge for fine details or the side to cover large surface areas quickly. The unique water soluble pigment can be used for vibrant drawings, or used with a wet brush to lift colour directly from the block. As the pigments dry quickly, there’s no need to worry about colour bleeding. Perfect for colour layering. Plus, as the colour dries permanently, it’s great on fabrics, such as silk or cotton. It can also easily be used on paper. Modify the use to fit your next project. The integrated palette is perfect for creating custom colours. Make unique blends by mixing dry blocks together, or obtain lighter shades of the same colour by adding water. Mix to create a distinct work of art. With a heritage dating to 1832, Derwent’s innovation comes from an understanding of artists. We’ve produced a range of quality art materials, many of which are made in our British manufacturing plant.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ il prodotto che cercavo
*by  on Reviewed in Italy 20 December 2018*

Premetto che non sono un'artista ma faccio card. Cercavo un prodotto per fare sfondi e colorare le parti in rilievo delle card dopo il passaggio nell'embossing folder. PERFETTI! I colori che ho provato finora sono luminosi e coprenti, attenzione a prelevarne poco per volta perchè sono molto pigmentati. Consiglio di farsi una cartella colori fai da te. Ottimi anche per l'effetto goccia/schizzo. Un paio di pezzi sono arrivati rotti ma questo non ne pregiudica l'utilizzo.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Derwent Inktense Blocks (Pack of 36) Review Jean Woodhead
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 September 2013*

I attend an Art Group in the Hathersage area and as we all paint in different media and styles, it seemed a very good opportunity to take the Inktense Blocks with me. They caused great interest, so much so that a friend had a go with them too and as the blocks snapped in half easily, it didn't cause any problems sharing the Inktense Blocks. My friend painted a lovely cockerel and I had a great time painting a landscape. We were highly enthusiastic with them, and as I had also taken my set of Inktense Pencils with me I was able to mix the two together on my picture. My friend thoroughly enjoyed her day, especially as initially, she had been a bit stuck for ideas. She said she was definitely going to send off for a set too. We both liked the way they were so flexible in use, in that they could be used wet or dry, made very interesting marks, and seemed to work well on different surfaces.. Also, having the 36 Pack gave us a very good range of colour choice and would be much easier and less messier than taking watercolours on holiday. All in all a very good product and we can thoroughly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Ink effects in a solid block
*by  on Reviewed in Australia 18 April 2019*

I love the range of this product for safely layering colour washes without 'muddying' previous layers. You can achieve a luminous effect easily. The versatility of this product is that you can draw with the blocks and activate with water or you can use it as a 'watercolour' pan. The colours are vibrant and crisp or soft and dreamy according to use.
