BRUSHMARKER PRO

So sad to say my box came with duplicated colours

pigmentation is excellent and assortment of colors is excellent, however some tips are not quite as firm as i would like.

Starting off, the seller was absolutely awesome to buy from. Item came in quick and none of the markers were dry or damaged so thats a huge relief. Aside from that, my thoughts on Karin markers are that theyre probably one of the best dye-based watercolors out there. Theyre the best brush/marker-based watercolors. Very vibrant and simple to work with. I still prefer Dr. Ph Martins when it comes to dyes but Karins are amazing when it comes to keeping your space clean. All you really need is a water brush and youre good to go. Blending (the key feature) is very good, but its not perfect. Water is the best for this, dont bother with the blending brushes. Some of the greys dont like the idea of blending which Ive noticed some others talk about in review videos. Its also a bit of a race to blend colors quickly cause once it starts drying on your paper, the stroke of the markers will start staying put on the paper and thats just so. annoying. The neon markers are a definite highlight (lol) being that theyre pigment-based but also the range of colors. Its not just the same 5 highlighter colors youd expect. Its a shame you can only get them in this specific 72 pack. My final thoughts: I think these markers are meant more for calligraphy and hand lettering more than dedicated illustration. If youre looking for supplies to add to your traveling case or ones versatile to be used for simple doodles to long term projects, this is an amazing addition to watercolors. I suggest buying either a few open stock colors or a themed pack if you just want to try these out. Theyre amazing, but just not enough for me sadly.

Making Christmas cards and these are great

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!

I have not found a paper that works best with these color ink brushes. I find that when I lay down a color next to a black line, they run the black ink outlines. This ends up transferring black ink into the color brush tip and discolors the tips. I may be using them incorrectly, or not understanding their power to dissolve black ink lines adjacent to the newly added colors to the prints. Still trying to adjust my application of color to prints. And would like paper suggestions.

I got this set for my sister. It arrived early and was in a box inside of a box. She loves them so much! These are the best she has used to date! The colors are vibrant and of high quality!

I wasnt too sure if these were for me because I dont use a lot of markers but I like markers. Maybe its the kid in me having memories from grade school. Either way, the markers didnt seem to leave lines like others Ive used so that was a plus. BUT I went on YouTube to see what I could do with them and someone was using them as watercolor! Draw a little into you tray, wet and you have a beautiful watercolor. For me this opened up a whole new world of possibilities. Now I look at my other markers , in an array of color as potentials to create more color. But these are still the best ones Ive gotten.

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.

These pens have vibrant colors and the brush is soft.Happy with my purchase.
