BRUSHMARKER PRO

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.

So sad to say my box came with duplicated colours

This is a hobby and I like the way they work

lo recomiendo muy buen producto.

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

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

Buena calidad

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!!

Perfectos!

I began using the Karin Brushmarkers for lettering, and then I used them like paint with an artist paint brush. These are top-of-the line for beginners and professionals. They do not disappoint. The colors are rich and juicy, the blend quite well and they retain color saturation from start to finish. The ink and pigments used are opaque and the colors are vibrant. The markers can be used like a paintbrush with water.
