If you ever wanted to make big, brilliant washes with great ease, you now can. These 3-1/2” wide x 2-1/4” long x 3/4” deep ceramic containers have a pan of color that measures 2-1/2” wide and 1-3/4” long (approximately 10x the contents of a half pan). Just dip even 2-1/2” wide wash brushes in water and load right on the pan. The brilliance of the color on paper is quite breathtaking. Blockx watercolors in pans are the same as featured in tubes so you may combine traditional techniques with these new found applications.
