Top Artdiscount Deals & Price Drops for April 2026

Derwent Inktense blocks are intensely vibrant, water-soluble blocks that have been formulated to dry permanently, offering exceptional layering capability without dissolving previously dried layers of vivid colour. Just like the pencils, colours are highly-pigmented and can be used dry, or mixed with water which is when the colour becomes even more intense. The colours retain vibrancy after drying, creating ink-like effects. Once dry, the colour is permanent and you can work over the top of it. Derwent Inktense is highly versatile and can be applied to many porous surfaces including ceramic, wood and fabric Suitable for use on paper and fabrics (ideal on silk and cotton) for a wide range of fine art and craft projects. Permanent when dry - doesn't washout like watercolour. Layer up intense vibrant colours. The blocks complement the Inktense range perfectly opening up an exciting world of endless possibilities. They can also be used on fabric to create stunning silk paintings and quilts.

For soft, yet colourful creativity. Pencils to satisfy both amateur and professional artists, illustrators, graphic designers and teachers thanks to the soft pigment range in both dry and water-soluble pencils. The soft, water-soluble 3.8 mm diameter leads are extremely break resistant and create clean and accurate lines.

The bodies of the pencils are encapsulated in a premium FSC certified cedar wood in a hexagonal shape, with the colour number and name indicated.
