11th September 2019 Reviewed by Merrill Phoenix I use the pencils for mixed media but now know the ink is permanent on fabric when dry. So for textile work, staining fabric and making background imagery ready to stitch, they seem appropriate, they feel fragile and I wonder if they might crumble if they get too wet. It's too early to know more.

20th October 2017 Reviewed by Bern Ross I use these in various ways: as a watercolour; for adding a different colour to an oil or acrylic painting before making it permanent (or not, according to how it looks); pure experimentation when nothing else inspires; and for life drawing. I like to spray the surface with water, either before drawing or after.

25th February 2017 Reviewed by Vivienne Avery These are brilliant, you can use them like watercolours but they have the pigment intensity of ink. Can be used to skecth, then covered with water, or you can use the blocks like a sold watercolour pan. COlour range is really good, this is the biggest range you can buy. I use them on silk, the colours are permanent once dry.

1st February 2017 Reviewed by Davidkayak47 I bought the largest set of inktense blocks as I like a wide range of colours without having to mix too much. I link the bright intense quality of the colours and the ease of use / lack of mess. I use them with a wet brush and just leave them in the box. I have found that the applied colours are perhaps a little different to what I expected when selecting them but I think this may change once I have used them enough to remove the top coating of the blocks.

19th October 2016 Reviewed by Andrew Randalls I fell in love with this product through having an odd inktense pencil at home. Recently I was on holiday in Dartmoot and used the few pencils and blocks I had bought locally. I was drawing Haytor and the effect was stunning with the few blocks I had. I drew the rocks first and then shaded the fore ground finally going over it with a stiffish acrylic sword brush to create a watercolour effect. I had an instant pleasing effect in twenty minutes. I use them constantly now. When I got back home I decided to buy the 72 boxed set from CassArt as they had the best price. For quick sketches, and finished paintings, this is the medium for me. They are very intense in their colour. I have been trying to tempt a friend to buy some and he is interested. I thoroughly recommend this set. If you can afford it buy the 72 set from CassArt.

4th October 2016 Reviewed by Andrew Barnes These are an amazing thing, I cant draw or paint I am amazed at the results I get with these though. A little goes a long way. A quick tip, use a rougher paper to get the best results im using 300gsm cold pressed and its great to build up colours on. Smooth paper doesnt work well at all.

28th September 2016 Reviewed by sue hope Colour range is super. They cover well. I have the grater but not sure I want to hear these pristine blocks. A couple of blocks were broken on arrival but guess that can't be helped. My only disappointment as with the intense pencils is the loose fitting lid so I worry about them falling out when on the move, however this doesn't detract from how great the intense range and quality is. Recommended.

26th March 2016 Reviewed by Lesley Craig I mostly use Inktense blocks straight from the tin in the same way that I would use watercolours but I also like to pick them up and add some drawn marks to my painting. The quality is excellent as they are high pigment colours. They are very versatile and, once dry, you can successfully paint over another colour, even light over dark. I would recommend these colours to anyone interested in water based painting up to a medium size.
