BRUSHMARKER PRO

Shipped and arrived so fast, weeks before projected date. Amazing markers!

Perfectos!

I purchased these because they were finally under $100 but was quite disappointed to open the shipping box to see that they did not arrive with the protecting plastic cover. The box had scratches. The markers looked used. Returned them immediately.

I bought these as a gift for the Mrs. and she was thrilled. The price is very steep, but they do seem to be extremely high quality and shes made some really nice looking doodles and calligraphy/word art with them.

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!!

Love these brush markers so much. They are so much fun to work with. They are for more skilled artists if you decide to do artwork instead of calligraphy. I recommend a thicker smooth paper for them because they can eat the paper but with Bristol they work great. They are nice and vibrant and I love them.

While the pens work wonderfully, I was disappointed that there wasnt even a couple of the common colors one would need. Color choice is limited; some are very similar to another instead of a good spectrum. I would recommend the pens; just be aware youll need other colors, also.

These brushes arrived early and I immediately had to write with one. I am thrilled. The tip is not as soft as I was afraid it would be. It is perfect for me, not too hard, not too soft...just right!

New to me product and I just started using them but as a card maker they are going to work great

Got here way sooner than the expedited delivery date! Packaged really well, love the storage box that doubles as storage for the markers! Can’t wait to use them and try them out!!!
