## Long description

Derwent XL Inktense blocks by Artequipment are a set of 12 concentrated, water-soluble pigment blocks supplied in a metal tin. Designed for drawing and painting, these Inktense blocks deliver vivid, saturated color in dry form and transform into rich, easily blendable washes when activated with water. The compact extra-large blocks allow both direct application and reconstitution into paint for layering, glazing and mixed-media techniques on paper and fabric.
Advantages
The water-soluble formulation provides intense colour payoff that remains vibrant after drying when used as an ink-like wash. Large block size offers extended working time and comfortable handling for sketching or broad coverage. The metal tin keeps the blocks organised and protected, making them suitable for studio use and travel. Compatibility with water enables a range of effects from crisp lines to smooth gradients, while the pigment strength supports strong coverage even with minimal water.
Suitable for
 Sketching and illustration with bold colour
 Mixed-media work and layering over other wet or dry mediums
 Water-activated washes and glazing techniques
 Textile detailing and surface decoration where water-soluble pigment is useful
Key specifications
 Set contents: 12 water-soluble pigment blocks
 Block size: extra-large format for extended application (XL)
 Finish: intense, highly pigmented colour when dry; paintable with water
 Packaging: protective metal tin for storage and transport
 Suitable surfaces: paper, watercolor paper, mixed-media supports, textiles (test beforehand)
How to use
Apply the Inktense blocks directly to dry paper for concentrated lines or shading, then activate the pigment with a damp brush or water wash to blend and create washes. For broader colour areas, dissolve pigment into a palette or container of water and apply like watercolour, building layers after each layer dries for depth. When working on textiles, moisten the pigment before application and fix according to fabric and paint-fastness requirements; always test on a sample piece first.
Usage recommendations
Store the tin in a dry place and reseal after use to protect the blocks. Use good quality brushes and appropriate paper weight (watercolor or mixed-media) to achieve optimal blending and avoid overworking the surface. For permanent results on fabric, follow a fabric-fixation method suitable for water-soluble pigments.
