Derwent Graphite Blocks Metal 2302010 Review

Comfortable to use wet or dry. Rich and deep pigment. All these colors in this glass are very close to each other in shades. multiple use. I want more colors from this brand. The heavy can protects the color strips.

What more could you ask for? They are amazing and go well with water. They also work well with water-soluble graphite pencils. Using an eraser also works well with this medium. Can be used as watercolor paints.

I use them as watercolors (water and brush) - the colors are gorgeous. Application is very simple and can be controlled to achieve pure tones or fully saturated tones. Great! Excellent packaging - nothing was damaged in transit.

Excellent graphite blocks for covering large areas in a short time. I like the variety of colors and have used them often. In addition to drawing/sketching, you can use a large format to cover a piece of paper that you need to use as a graphite transfer for watercolor or canvas.

I really LOVE these they are quite big so you can cover a lot of space in a short amount of time, they are easy to blend, I use water brushes with them, but you can use a brush and water, or you can let them dry and blend. The colors are pleasant, very natural and soft.

These water-soluble graphite blocks are amazing! They are soft enough for light, soft blends like charcoal and soft pastels. When wet, they produce bright, opaque colors. I use them all the time with regular charcoal, Inktense blocks and graphite pencils. Derwent makes fantastic, one of a kind products so I am not surprised at the quality of this product. Costs money. Derwent deserves a permanent place in my art inventory lol.

I love graphite pencils and they are made of the same material as the lead in them. I tried them and knew they were good. I would also like to say that I was able to determine the inventory value of this set. This is when an item is in stock that has a problem, usually just in the packaging. This particular box had scratches on the tin. The graphite blocks themselves were in perfect condition and I got a bargain. I bought another item that had a packaging issue and it was fine too. I don't know

Love these big chunky graphite blocks. They come in a nicely padded tin and I think the cut out foam that the blocks sit in is a way of making them durable. I find it better to rub the block on a sheet of palette paper and paint from it than using it like watercolors. They can fall apart over time if you use them in the usual way. I will replace them and not use new ones like pan paint. I love the effect, the colors, the grain and how beautifully it spreads, blends and lays. It's not good for…
