Rated 5 out of 5 by artminderplus from The name Inktense says it! My set is almost used up, so I sent this as a gift to my sister and great-niece. I used these a lot in an open studio life drawing class at Kalamazoo Institute of Arts. Found they added expression to the drawings. Really liked taking a chance wetting the colors among the lines. At the end of the class, I started using them like watercolor pans, and found I had been missing painting! They can get almost chalky when they dry to a matte state.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dino from Just what I needed! These Inktense Bars bring out the creativity in using water color, gouache and acrylic. They are just what I need to spark that excitement in art again. I can "play" in so many ways and I never know what's coming until it's over. Thanks for the inspiration!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Carly from Very pleasing results This was my first experience using inks of any kind for fabric painting. So far, I have to say, Derwent Inktense is much like using water colors as far as coverage, blendability and thinning with water. Also, the finished surface is smooth and soft, unlike some heavily pigmented acrylic fabric paints. I'll continue to work with these blocks of dye, and will probably experiment using the block directly on damp fabric. This product does what I want and I am very happy with it. Thanks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Fantastic! If you're looking for a water-soluble media that delivers rich, fully saturated color, Derwent Inktense is for you. I've bought a set of the pencils when they first came out and love them. One of my favorite ways to use the pencils is to pick up color from the tip with a wet brush and use them like traditional watercolors. The new sticks are perfect for use in that fashion. Or, using the Grate 'n Shake, you can grind the sticks and mix with water to create custom ink mixes for use with pens or brushes. My only "complaint" is that Derwent doesn't make the stick in the full range of 72 colors.

Will mold appear if you use tap water to pick up color from the block. Can the blocks be broken in two for a mini set of color blocks?

Asked by: lest

Thank you for contacting us. Mold should not appear on the block, you might consider using distilled water from a bottle if you have hard water. You can break the colors in two. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
