This superb product has been developed with the “young artist” in mind.
The unique shape of the Drawing Blocks enables the user to create a wide range of mark-making, using the different angles of the Drawing Block from a very thin drawing line to broad planes of colour-coverage.
The hardness of the block enables the drawing method to be explored with vitality and energy, encompassing hatchings to shadings whilst encouraging a gestural style of delivery.
The entire range of mark-making can be explored with the added bonus of colour.
The domino shape fits comfortably in the hand of a young child and automatically encourages the “young artist” to engage the whole wrist, arm and body in the drawing process.
As an educative tool it is exemplary because the hand comes alive to the very instinctive and tactile sense of drawing and gesturing.
In addition the Drawing blocks are “soft enough to enable the user to blend and create an infinite range of colours.
This is a fantastic tool to teach young people the magic of colour mixing.
The advantage of this material as an effective creative and learning tool is evidenced by the fact that children of pre-school age to professional artists use it with outstanding results.

The Marcus Art 24 colour handmade Oil pastel set is of high pigment intensity with excellent working characteristics of flow, blending capacity, fidelity of line and richness of texture.

Water Colours
This unique handmade material is a water-soluble, wax based pastel.
It is recommended for student - artist, hobbyists or professionals who have a preference to paint with pastels.
Characterised by high pigment intensity with the smooth delivery of oil pastel, Pastopaint offers the possibility of both drawing and watercolour combinations that can also be adapted to gouache and impasto techniques.
Using board, paper, card or canvas the finished art piece will need to be mounted behind glass.
Marcus Art Pastopaint is available in a pack of 12 carefully selected colours.
This colour stick has excellent flow characteristics of the oil pastel so is easily utilised as a drawing stick but because of the added solubilising surfactants drawing can then be extended with a water loaded brush of choice.
The surface can be manipulated wet or dry as required and technical control of the wet veils enables the artist to explore a water colour method that can at any time return to drawing if desired.
Pastopaint forms an excellent media bridge between painting and drawing.
