Derwent Inktense blocks are intensely vibrant, water-soluble blocks that have been formulated to dry permanently, offering exceptional layering capability without dissolving previously dried layers of vivid colour.

Just like the pencils, colours are highly-pigmented and can be used dry or mixed with water for even more intense colours. The colours retain vibrancy after drying, creating ink-like effects. Once dry the colour is permanent and you can work over it.

Derwent Inktense is highly versatile and can be applied to many porous surfaces including ceramic, wood and fabric Suitable for use on paper and fabrics (ideal on silk and cotton) for a wide range of fine art and craft projects.
