NEW INKTENSE XL BLOCKS

Introducing the latest addition to the Inktense family, XL Blocks.
The size and shape format of Inktense XL Blocks has been specially designed to create bold marks, broad strokes and agile lines, wet or
dry. They can also be broken into pieces, or grated into a powder, for textures and detail. Derwent Inktense XL Blocks are the largest and most versatile Inktense format. Each block contains a high volume of formula, equivalent to eight pencils. They are perfect for use on their own, or in combination with a smaller format, such as Inktense Pencils or the slimmer Inktense Blocks. Available in 12 colours.
