Ok so being an artist I’m always looking out for money off offers. With these brush pens (which can also be used as watercolour) there was 70% off so I thought I’d try them out.I’d seen a few of the other reviews, one of which said they were just like felt tips...can’t say I agree with that. They’re only felt tips if you block colour with them. By using a wet brush (or water brush) you can achieve a water colour effect . Saw mother review stating that they seep through the paper, can’t say that happened to me. I used watercolour paper but I’d expect if you used the incorrect paper for watercolour then yeah the colours would seep through.Through a bit of experimentation I found the best watercolour look came if the paper was wet first before putting pen to paper - on thick paper which isn’t watercolour paper. On watercolour paper these work a treat. 2nd photo example is on watercolour paper, the first on toothed Bristol board.I got these pens today - never used them or anything else like them. But I have to say it was fun playing around with them. My next piece will be a little better as I did this in under an hour!I dropped a star only due to the fact that my delivery was a day late.Updated next day - did a little sketch which turned out rather nice (2nd photo)

Bought for my daughter to use on holiday so we didn't have to take lots of equipment.My daughter is not very keen on these as she says it is like using felt tips.Idea was good though.

Needed some new brush pens...really fancied those! Wanted them for drawing on the go...I love, love, love them! They are so lovely for drawing and colouring in, specially drawing! You can use pens just like a paintbrush, and you can do lines as thin or as thick as you like! And the colours...gorgeous! I've also really enjoyed using them with other media, i.e. pencils, paints etc

These are the first real brush markers I've tried and I absolutely love them! The variation of line width achievable is great!While mixing colours can be a little tricky, using them as a toned sketch and overlaying water has such a satisfying effect!I'd be interested to see what a more pastel colours palette could achieve as these colours are very bold. Would recommend them to anyone wanting to try a watercolor marker though :)

These are really nice. Takes a bit of practice to know how to work them but the effects are lovely. You have to colour first, then add water, they dont work too great if you add the water first then try to add the colour. There's a good choice of bright colours and they're fun to work with. They will not blend with water on ordinary paper. You have to use either watercolor paper or multimedia paper. Also, less is more with these pens.
