Karin Brushmarker PRO Mini Box 26 colours + 1 blender set, Assorted

Excellent quality. Not just for watercolour art. They are water-based brush markers which can be used for drawing, painting, calligraphy, lettering, scrapbooking, cardmaking (I'm working on being good enough at calligraphy to add sentiments directly to homemade cards without die cutting or stamping), mixed media art, or even, if wished!, general writing or note-taking. Have fun experimenting! Though not traditional watercolour paints, these Karin markers can create watercolour-like effects because the water-based ink allows blending e.g. hold two tips together, hold both markers vertically for a few seconds, and you have temporary blending - to do gradient blending, for instance - for details see the manufacturer's YouTube video "How to Use Brushmarker PRO Markers by KARIN - Color Application". The product comes with a small leaflet that also explains the blendinng methods but seeing it in moving footage with moving examples is a better idea. You can do watercolor-style, with soft edges and slight ink pooling; for blending see the paragraph above. Important not to use inferior-quality paper - not for paper that's too lightweight or too thin or you'll get ghosting, bleed-through or even tearing of the paper. You splash out on these high-quality Karin markers, so it's a good idea to invest in good quality paper too - best on coated paper/hot-pressed (extremely smooth with almost no texture or "tooth"), bristol board with vellum surface and, generally, thicker paper (160 gsm or higher). Love the integral stand. Open the shrinkwrap carefully to avoid damaging the box, then fold it as shown in the advert photo and your markers will be stored slanted. I have them on my craft desk and I'll be using them a lot simply because they're so easy to access; if I put them in a cupboard or out of arm's reach I bet I wouldn't use them as much. Unlike some marker pens it's fairly easy (though Karin could make slight improvements) to see what colour each marker is while it's in its slot in the box. This Mini set has 26 markers and a blender, enough to give a good range of colours. Colour names: Canary = yellow. Gold. Almond. Amber. Soft Peach. Orange Red. Red. Magenta Red. Cerise. Magenta. Lilac. Violet Blue. Royal Blue. Cyan. Arctic Blue. Turquoise. Lush Green. Ocean Teal. Grass. Rose Wood. Henna. Sepia. Cool Grey. Warm Grey. Neutral Grey. Black.

my calligraphy teacher uses these, so i decided to try some. The best brush pens out there. Flow really nicely when writing. quite expensive, but you get what you pay for. Great quality and great range of colours.

amazing quality! good for caligraphy, good for note-taking, etc. Absolutely love them!

My Wife is incredibly excited to receive these and assures me that I could not have bought better.

I bought these markers on previous recommendations, I have to say I am very disappointed with them, I use them for colouring books, they bleed very badly, the blending marker that you get with them is terrible it tears the paper, I thankfully only bought the small set to see did I like them before I got the larger set because they are not cheap although they preform like a cheap marker so I will save my money

Suitable for lettering and watercolor blends

Excellent quality pens. Kids loved it.

Precioso! Muy completo!

heerlijk om mee te werken

This set is worth the price. I use it alone, blending with the included water brush or with traditional brush watercolors. Very nice!
