Everyone is drooling

[@MedaHalmaciu]

Wooow! Love everything Derwent. I would love to buy them all. But I am currently in a "use, not buy" phase. I have so many unused art supplies and I am trying to actually make more art instead of buying more art supplies.

[@marit4660]

That was a fun XL "block" party 🤩! I'd totally buy empty larger tins to hold the old + new blocks, too. And an empty 28-pencil tin for the new inktense pencils!

[@OhJodi69]

I love that you teach for Derwent, and also give very fair reviews on their products.

[@BeckyTregear]

That big set of XL Inktense blocks is most definitely on my wish list! ❤

[@experienced.novice]

Inktense! All the Inktense. I struggle with mixed media so would love some tutorials on using watercolor and the new Inktense XL blocks and pencils. Can't wait to see what you roll out for us!

[@Obsidian_Iris_]

They’re all gorgeous and now I must have them all! 😂

[@barbierader677]

I would love more videos about using the graphitint blocks! I just ordered a set with the new colors. I have the smaller set of Inktense pencils as well, but haven't been using them. More videos using them would be helpful as well! On your recommendation, I also have sets of Mungyo soft pastels and Paul Ruebens oil pastels on their way.

[@charlotteragan6583]

I have the older set of Inktense pencils. I ran a strip of duct tape across the back and made a pull on each end it helped with the flimsiness.

[@mostlyvoid.partiallystars]

I love your long form swatching and “play with the new toys” vids! That forest green is amazing.

[@ChantelleArts]

these blocks look so fascinating! I'd love to try them one day 😊

I've seen these but never really know how I'd use them. So this was a fascinating video. Thank you Lindsay. Personally I'd love to see a video on how to use the new 12 set. If you want to create a custom mix of colours but don't have the right tin, have you considered slicing a block in half and adding in half another...12 colours into a 6 slot tin...just my half a million dollar idea😊. Thank you for a great review. ❤

[@K_rye]

I loved your excitement when discovering that graphite blocks were water soluble. ❣ Your suggestion for the empty box is terrific. Derwent should do this.

[@LonitaFraser]

I can get a few of the items via Amazon Canada for less than what you pay off the Derwent site. I was able to get the the graphitint, the Inktense, and the new coloured charcoal (I have the old set). I can't get the graphite grey set yet, but I have the old coloured ones.

[@deb.e.mixedmedia]

These all look so fun! Can’t wait to see the cool things you create with them!

[@patriciaschoenberg1261]

Thank you for the wonderful review. I would buy the new Inktense colors in a tin box, or I would buy the new colors individually if Derwent offered an empty tin box. The XL Inktense blocks look fabulous.

[@diannedupuis2960]

Great review of Derwent XL products. Thank you!

[@DeniseBrooks1955]

These are all so cool!

[@TamboArtwork]

Thank You for the awesome review Lindsay.
