Derwent Inktense blocks can be used dry or add water to create deep, intense colour washes. Due to its permanence once dried, Inktense doesn't wash away like watercolour so it can be worked over without affecting previous layers.
XL Charcoal and XL Graphite blocks are extra wide chunky blocks, perfect for expressive mark making, blending and gestural work. These blocks will allow a variety of textures and effects by using on their side, edge, or corners. Derwent Pastel Pencils bring the beauty of fine grade pastel within a pencil. They have minimal dusting and can be sharpened to a point to add detail to drawings and sketches. The 72 colour palette is perfect for nature and wildlife drawings. The pencils can be used dry and smudged with a paper stump or finger or even use a wet brush to create light washes and manipulate the powder on the page.
