Discover the freedom of large-scale drawing with the Derwent Graphite Block XL Medium from Cass Art. This chunky, ergonomic block is designed to fit perfectly in your hand, offering the control of a pencil with the expansive coverage of a pastel. It's an essential tool for artists looking to make bold, agile marks on any size of artwork.
With a formula equivalent to eight traditional pencils, this single block provides incredible value and longevity. Its versatile nature allows you to use it whole for broad strokes, break it into pieces for detailed work, or even grate it into a fine powder to create unique dry textures. The smooth, consistent laydown is ideal for building atmospheric tones and depth.
Unlock even more creative potential by using the block wet. Simply add water to transform the graphite into a washable medium perfect for painting techniques, translucent layers, or dramatic splattering. This water-soluble feature makes it a uniquely adaptable core for any mixed-media project.
Pair it with other Derwent favourites like Graphitint Blocks or pencils for a complete tonal range. For the best results, use on Derwent Inktense Paper with Technique Brushes and a kneadable eraser.
