BRUSHMARKER PRO

OMG...love these pens! A little spendy but Iam enjoying them and getting my money s worth, love to hand letter, water color, mix media are and stamping. These pens fits the bill.!

These markers are super high quality and worth the price! Excellent for calligraphy, hand lettering, and even watercolor!

These are cool pens!! Ive been using water color pencils for years - these are like Derwent Inktense pencils except much more intense! You can get great effects blending out the colors, eg/when you do gradients from a lot of coverage to very little to none - and it looks like stained glass when you done! A few things to be aware of, in my opin: the colors are very bright - I dont think these are what you want if youre looking to create subdued, misty water color effects - the color selection is strong, bright colors & neons. And I think these would be hard to control on really small images if youre say filling in a stamped image with a lot of small areas because these pens are soooo juicy. And, I hate to say it, but invest in really good water color paper - even if youre using the Strathmore 400 series - youll notice a huge difference if you try Arches with these (use some cheaper stuff to practice with!). And hot press is better for these - I read that cold press can wear these nibs, I dont know about that, but unless youre going for a really bright but loose look, I think these would be hard to control on cold press. One last thing - I was debating whether I should knock off a star for this: I found that the greys - warm, cold, and/or neutral do not dissolve & spread in that watercolor way - I dont know why. Mine pens in those colors are full of ink, but the ink goes on & sits very much like a marker. In fact, when i got my set the greys were the first colors that I tested & I actually looked up the order online because I thought oh, no, I ordered regular pens & not the water color markers! But the other colors are juicy & blendy & runny, its only those greys and a couple of the yellows were similar, but not nearly as much. Even with this flaw, however, these are great pens - my pictures look like they came off a printer - the colors just glow!! And compare the cost to Copics - yes, these pens arent as versatile, but theyre way less than half the price!! Take the money you save & buy some Arches to go with them!!
