XL Graphite

Extra wide watersoluble graphite blocks are perfect of expressive mark making and deliver a variety of textures and effects

Create a wide variety of textures and effects with these generous Derwent XL Graphite blocks. Subtle blending, fine lines and deep tonal work are all possible. The graphite is watersoluble, allowing you to experiment with even more techniques. We have developed six dense shades from Olive Green to Burnt and Raw Umber which work well for bold landscapes.

• Generously sized chunky blocks help achieve broad strokes, subtle blending, fine lines and deep tonal work
• Use them on their side, edge or corner; they are easy to blend and smudge
• Earthy colour leaves a metallic graphite sheen and distinctive soft feel
• Use these watersoluble blocks on a damp surface to release lots of colour and build up layers of different colours as you go
