The above links will give you a good idea about the inktense pencils and blocks. I like these over regular water color pencils for several reasons. Even though most of the videos show the colors to be very intense, you can make the colors very soft looking. Remember to start off with a light application of color; you can always add more color, but you can't take it away once there. I would start out by doing a post card shown in one of the videos. Choose a subject matter and try it out. The videos that show the blocks of color are the same as the pencils, just without the wood around them. You would use the blocks if you were laying down large areas of color like in the Emu apron.
