Derwent Inktense Block 72 Tin

These paints are everything they advertise. I use normal watercolour most of the time, but they can loose their brilliance when they dry, I use these to brighten areas of the painting. Just remember that these are solid inks, when they dry they are basically permanent and are very difficult to remove from the paper.

Used to fabric paint a canvas bag combined with fabric medium. Excellent colour and permanence!

Funciona muito bem para criar camada de fundo.

Arrived well packed and in perfect condition. I'm sure the addition of foam inserts into the plastic trays in the tin box has improved the breakage rate as all mine were in pristine condition on arrival. Just take care taking the sticks out as they're pretty well held/supported in the foam slots and these things are somewhat fragile in nature. I've only tested a few of these so far, using them as paint sticks by getting the colour with a wet brush but I just love the intensity of the colour you get from these. I originally got the travel set of 12 pans (which I liked so much I got this set of 72) and unlike that, there's no colour chart nor a list of colour names on the tin nor are they named individually but they do all have the reference numbers stamped on them which you can cross reference with the Derwent Inktense colour chart that is freely available on the internet. This is somewhat necessary as there are many shades so identifying a particular one can be tricky sometimes. I guess the ultimate would be my own swatch chart but I just haven't got around to that as yet. But ultimately, it's the intensity of colour, the ease of getting copious amounts of pigment off the stick with a brush, the lovely wet on wet effects, the colour mixing and the layering that make these just such a joy to use and a joy to look at afterwards. I've also been using these with pastels, watercolours and tombow pens and have been enjoying the experience very much. These sticks are great fun. I just love them!During the review process I was offered the opportunity to rate by 'Sheerness'. As far as I'm aware that's a place in Kent. Go figure...
