These highly versatile, extra-large blocks can be used whole, in pieces or grated into powder for expressive marks, agile lines, texture and detail, even on large scale works. Each block contains a high volume of formula, equivalent to 8 pencils. The block format gives optimum in-hand control.

Derwent Blocks are available in Inktense only. Uniquely formulated in 72 vivid ink-like colours, that offer exceptional layering and are permanent when dry. Activate the vibrant pigments with water for painting applications or grate, shave or cut your blocks to achieve a myriad of effects.
