Derwent XL Charcoal Blocks are a versatile and expressive medium designed for artists, offering a unique combination of size, texture, and colour. Here’s an overview of their features and applications:
Product Overview
Size and Shape
Derwent XL Charcoal Blocks are chunky rectangular blocks measuring 60x20x20mm. This larger size provides a substantial volume of charcoal, equivalent to eight traditional pencils, allowing for bold strokes and detailed work alike.
Versatility
The blocks can be used whole, broken into pieces, or grated into powder for different artistic effects. This allows artists to create broad gestural strokes or fine details depending on their technique.
Texture and Application
The soft texture of the charcoal enables smooth smudge effects, ideal for large-scale artworks. They can also be manipulated with water to achieve varied textures.
Ergonomic Design
The chunky shape is designed for comfort during use, making it easier to control the application of the medium.
Derwent XL Charcoal Blocks are particularly effective for:
Large scale drawings where broad strokes are needed.
Detailed line work using the edges or corners of the blocks.
Creating textures through breaking or grating the blocks into powder.
Layering over other colours for complex effects.
These blocks complement other Derwent products like Charcoal Pencils and Inktense Paper, enhancing the overall creative experience.
