These punchy blocks are intensely vibrant, used both wet and dry. They are water-soluble and have been specially formulated to be permanent once dry. This gives this blocks exceptional layering capabilities as the layer underneath don’t reactive or smudge, allowing you to confidently build up layers of vivid colour. The colours retain vibrancy after drying, creating ink-like effects. Perfect for use on the go as well as in the comfort of indoors – they can actually be used on many surfaces including fabric, wood and ceramics.

Mixing
You can use the pigments to create newcolours. Scrape some pigment into awell of your palette and add water, then mix them together. The more pigmentyou mix in, the more intense the colour.

Layering
Once dry, you can apply a new layer and build up your work. Adding more of the wet ink will result in a more painterly type finish. Adding in dry layers using the block will result in some great textures.
