Derwent : Charcoal XL Block : Tin of 6

The Derwent Charcoal XL Block Tin of 6 contains large blocks of water-soluble charcoal in a series of six grayscale shades. Draw, paint, cut or grate for broad coverage, bold marks, agile lines, and powdery textures.

Derwent Charcoal XL Blocks are highly versatile water-soluble blocks that can be used for broad coverage and expressive mark making. Break into pieces or grate into a powder for detail and dry textures. Use wet for painting techniques such as splattering and translucent washes.
