Derwent Inktense Blocks in a tin of 72

A tin of 72 Derwent Inktense Blocks: soft, water-soluble, highly pigmented colour blocks that dry permanently.

Derwent Inktense Blocks are water-soluble colour blocks formulated to dry permanently. Derwent describes the colours as highly pigmented, usable dry or mixed with water, when the colour becomes more intense. Once dry, the colour stays put, so new layers can go over the top without dissolving what is underneath. The range runs to 72 colours, with a soft texture.

Quote our code AAR2301980 or Derwent code 2301980 on a purchase order. Derwent lists Inktense as applicable to many porous surfaces, including ceramic, wood and fabric, and as suitable for paper and fabrics such as silk and cotton. Used wet, the blocks give ink-like effects that keep their colour after drying.

The Inktense Blocks 72 tin is listed in Watercolour & Inktense Pencils. Derwent Artist Pencils groups the Derwent ranges we carry, and the same listing also appears in Education Writing Supplies with other pencils and writing supplies.
