Derwent Inktense Block Peacock Blue Pack of 6

Yes. Inktense Blocks can be applied dry directly to paper or other surfaces to produce smooth, vibrant marks. Adding water activates the pigment and transforms it into a rich, fluid ink wash. Both techniques can be combined in the same artwork.

Yes. Once activated with water and allowed to dry fully, the Inktense pigment becomes permanent. This means you can layer additional colour, water, or other media on top without disturbing the base layer underneath.

Inktense Blocks are suitable for use on natural fabrics including silk and cotton. The ink-based pigment bonds well to fabric fibres, making them popular for textile art and mixed-media projects beyond traditional paper use.

This pack contains 6 Inktense Blocks all in the Peacock Blue 0820 shade. It is a single-colour pack, not an assorted set. This makes it useful for stocking up on a specific colour for larger projects.

The pigment formulation is the same, but the block format is significantly larger and chunkier than the pencil. This makes the block better suited for covering large areas quickly and for broad, expressive mark-making. Pencils offer more precision for fine detail work.

Derwent recommends Inktense products for art students aged 14 and above, as well as hobbyists and professional artists. The blocks are straightforward to use in both dry and wet techniques, making them accessible for developing artists while offering the quality professionals expect.
