Set of Graphite Natural XL Blocks - Derwent - 6 pcs.

Derwent's Graphite XL Blocks are a block of compressed natural graphite with various degrees of hardness: from hard to very soft and dark shades. 

The blocks allow for free application of broad and expressive strokes, but also allow for control when adding fine details. They are an ideal art medium for working on a variety of formats, especially large ones. Experiment, break them into pieces, grind them into powder using a grater, or use a sprayer to create interesting textures and details. Use them dry and wet for painting techniques such as splattering. 

You can draw with the edge of the block, then the line is narrower and clearer. When drawing a background or covering a large piece of work, draw with the entire width of the block. The versatility of the blocks allows you to use them on paper, canvas, ceramics, wood, fabric, as well as many other porous surfaces. Each block contains a large amount of formula, equivalent to 8 pencils.

Unleash your imagination and create works of art with these innovative blocks!
