Derwent Inktense Colour Blocks are sticks of vibrant watercolour ink which are incredibly versatile. Use them dry for covering large areas, or add water and they come to life. Once dry, the colours are fixed, so you can safely work over the top of them. This permanency makes them ideal for using on fabric such as silk, cotton and canvas, and you can also use them for printing and stamping. There are many ways you can use Inktense Blocks to create amazing artworks: Use dry, then use a brush and water to blend. You can then use dry blocks to add extra detail. Apply water direct to the blocks with a brush, just as with normal watercolours. Put two or more blocks side by side before applying the water to all of them, and you can create instant stripes! Grate a block into water, or shave bits off it with a sharp knife, then mix and use as a wash. Apply water to a block then shake it and create paint splatter effects. Derwent Inktense blocks are solid sticks of watersoluble ink, combining the versatility of Inktense pencils with the freedom of colour blocks. Ideal for covering large surface areas, they can be used to produce free, expressive movements on the page - add water to create a pure, translucent, ink-like effect.
