These are unique. Water-soluble ink in blocks the size of pastel sticks. Many vivid colors. Versatile and easy to work with. They make a great portable sketching kit. This and a few water brushes are all you need!

It is INK, so it sticks to any absorbent ground... paper, clayboard, canvas. It is one of the few pigment mediums that will adhere to Yupo fairly well. Once it is THOROUGHLY dry, it is waterproof. That makes these great for under-drawings!

The colors flow like watercolor in thin washes, or become as opaque as gouache when applied thickly.

You can draw with them, then add water to melt and blend colors. You can shave away pigment with a knife or sandpaper to create new color-mixes and add water to make beautiful effects.

Having raved about the quality and the value, I can only make one small complaint. Though this deluxe collection with all the colors is very nice to have and a good deal, you don't need all those colors. I suggest you start with a smaller assortment like I did. Then, if you find them useful, you could invest in more colors. As it is, no-one sells open stock versions of the other colors, so the only way to get some of the colors is in this large package. That's a shame, since some colors are obviously more useful than others and people always have their own favorites.

HEY! DERWENT! Start selling these individually!

Other than that, I can find no fault with this unique product. They are one of the best inventions in art materials in the history of human endeavor.

I have been an artist for as long as I have been alive, so when a new and wonderful creative toy comes along I just have to try it. Well, I love these Inktense pencils and blocks! Pen and ink work was never so much fun! And an added bonus is that I can use these to color work I have done on wood. The colors are brilliant and, on wood, they allow the grain to show through. They are permanent, so I can put a finish on my work without worrying about it running. Only con is that a few of the colors are not as lightfast as others.
