Derwent Inktense Block Deep Violet Pack of 6

Inktense Blocks contain the same ink-based pigment as the Inktense pencil range but in a larger, chunkier format. This makes it much easier and faster to cover wide areas or create bold backgrounds. The colour behaviour - vibrant dry, permanent when activated with water - is identical across both formats.

Yes. Derwent Inktense Blocks are suitable for use on natural fabrics such as silk and cotton. Once activated with water and allowed to dry, the colour becomes permanent on fabric, making these blocks a popular choice for textile artists and mixed-media creators.

Once you activate the pigment with water and the surface dries completely, the colour will not reactivate or bleed if you apply additional water-based media over the top. This allows confident layering - you can build up depth and detail without disturbing earlier colour stages.

This listing contains 6 individual Inktense Blocks, all in the Deep Violet shade (reference 0760). No other tools or accessories are included. You will need a brush and water to activate the ink; the blocks can also be used dry without any additional equipment.

Derwent Inktense Blocks sit within the Derwent professional range and are well suited to serious hobbyists, art students, and practising artists. Beginners with an interest in watercolour or mixed-media work will also find them accessible, particularly because the dry application is straightforward before experimenting with water activation.
