These 8mm square blocks deliver intense, permanent pigment that can be used dry or activated with water for dramatic ink-like effects. Ideal for artists, designers, and crafters, the set includes a durable tin with 12 palette wells for mixing custom colours. Perfect for use on paper, fabric, wood, and more, these blocks blend easily and dry quickly, ensuring brilliant, lasting 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. ## Features - Derwent Inktense Watercolour Blocks: Full set of 72 premium quality water-soluble artist’s colouring blocks, 8mm, highly blendable and ideal for use on paper, fabric and other surfaces - Taking Watercolour To The Next Level: Professional grade artistic colour blocks in a selection of rich, vibrant colours; use dry or add water for a dramatic, ink-like effect that’s indelible - The Colour Is Fixed Once Mixed With Water: More colour can be layered on top, or use without water for detailed drawing or colouring; same brilliance as Inktense pencils in a chunky block - Perfect For Artists: As well as crafting, fashion designers, card making and colouring-in; easy to blend and shade thanks to wide, soft core; best used with Derwent water-brushes and watercolour paper - Contents: 1 x Set of 72 Derwent Inktense Watercolour Blocks, in an attractive tin, with 12 palette wells for mixing colours ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BIHECBM | | Additional Features | Water Soluble | | Age Range Description | All Ages | | Animal Theme | no animal theme | | Best Sellers Rank | #148,199 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #464 in Watercolor Paper #1,816 in Paint & Primer | | Body Shape | Square | | Brand Name | Derwent | | Color | 72 colors | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,144) | | Drill Point | Fine | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05028252352000 | | Grip Type | Soft | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | Soft | | Included Components | 1 x set of 72 Derwent Inktense ink pads, 1 x box, 12 x palette wells | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Multicolor | | Item Diameter | 8 Millimeters | | Item Dimensions | 35.4 x 2.6 x 19.8 centimeters | | Item Weight | 454 g | | Line Size | 8mm | | Manufacturer | ACCO | | Material Type | Tin | | Model Name | Derwent Inktense | | Model Number | 2301980 | | Pattern | Single | | Recommended Uses For Product | Drawing, coloring, painting, and crafting on paper, ceramic, wood, and fabric | | Style | Metal Tin | | Theme | Art Supplies, Drawing and Painting | | Unit Count | 72 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Brush Pen | | Writing Technique | watercolor, painting | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** All Ages - **Brand:** Derwent - **Colour:** 72 colors - **Ink colour:** Multicolor - **Writing instrument form:** Brush Pen ## Images ![Derwent Inktense Block 72 Tin - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Eu-REttpL.jpg) ![Derwent Inktense Block 72 Tin - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ded7pVclL.jpg) ![Derwent Inktense Block 72 Tin - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IeSklD6zL.jpg) ![Derwent Inktense Block 72 Tin - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617A7AsFJFL.jpg) ![Derwent Inktense Block 72 Tin - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71U5N6Yfd8L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What formulation are the Inktense blocks?** A: A unique formulation that is highly pigmented, permanent once dry and creates ink-like stains **Q: What is included in the set?** A: The Inktense Block range includes up to 72 block colors.
