Derwent XL Graphite Block Tin Set 6

The Derwent Graphite XL Block Tin Set of 6 is a versatile collection of extra-large smooth graphite blocks in a range of degrees from hard, to very soft and onyx dark. With Derwent Graphite XL Blocks, you can create bold and agile marks with the strength and body of a chunky block or experiment with grating and cutting.

Derwent Graphite XL Blocks are highly versatile water-soluble blocks that can be used for wide coverage and expressive mark-making. They can be broken into pieces or grated into a powder for detailed and dry textures. When used wet, they are great for painting techniques like splattering and creating translucent washes. Each chunky block contains a high volume of material, equivalent to 8 pencils. The soft pastel-like XL block has been ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand for large-scale drawings. You can use the edges and corners of the block to add fine detail and line work to atmospheric and tonal artwork.
