This is a pretty good short tutorial on the very basics of blending with block watercolors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kznN5UZmlng

I prefer the tubes to be honest and I usually use them, but I do have a nice block travel set I use for when I’m out and about. What really matters when blending watercolours is the pigement-to-water ratio, depending on what you’re doing – and with watercolours, remember: less is more. If it’s too light, you can always add another coat, but if it’s too dark there’s not a whole lot you can do to fix that easily. I nearly always go over some of my more in-depth and vibrant paintings 2-5 times to get the right colors and depth, but it’s so much easier than trying to lighten something that went down too dark or stained. 😉
