Review of XL Blocks

Robert Dutton reviews the Derwent XL Charcoal Blocks in Painters Online.

"Without doubt XL Blocks can help you to express your ideas in new and innovative ways. When working with them I make exciting discoveries all the time; the new-found freedom really assists my creativity – I like to use them liberally, very often on a large scale, and boy do they encourage that."
