Spectrum NoirAqua Artist's Water Based Dual Nib Marker Coloring Pens, Nature, Pack of 12,Blue

Love these markers! For me they are very easy to use. Prefer to use them with a paint brush and not directly to the paper.

Love these markers!

Arrived on time an it was a surprise for my husband. He Loves them an they work Perfectly!

I had watched a few videos on how to use 'watercolor markers'. These markers, when used right deliver a very vivid color experience that is similar to using actual watercolors. The pigmentation is very good and they thin and fade with more water like the real thing. The one problem I had was using the marker directly on the paper. I had a hard time spreading it and scrubbed the paper into pills to get it working. To make them work properly, you need to put the color onto something like a plate, or acrylic block and then use a paintbrush to apply it to the paper.Once I did that the paintings were very good and I liked the experience. The only other thing I can complain about is the price. I feel like they were very expensive for the few colors I got. And to make a decent pallet you would need to buy several sets. Traditional watercolors are cheaper. The only advantage these have is portability. I will stick with my watercolors for now. At least until the price drops. Its a good product, but just doesn't have enough of an advantage over traditional watercolors.

So smooth and wonderful to work with. The colors are amazing.

Very blendable.

Disappointed with the pen set we received, and my daughter had such high hopes for these water-based markers.4 of these, supposedly, brand new, unused, pens have frayed tips.It looks like they have already been used.We live international and so returning this item makes the final price of these pens expensive.I won't be buying these again.

This particular set seemed used. The brush nibs didn’t have the same bounce as the other packs of Aqua brush markers did from my Floral and Primary sets. The nib tips were also frayed.

Ich finde diese Marker richtig gut, weil sie nicht zu sehr durchdrücken wie z.B. Alkohol-basierte Marker, sie riechen nicht und die Farben sind einfach eine Freude. Ich male damit gerade ein Malen nach Zahlen-Buch, das ich auch hier bei Amazon gekauft habe "MICKEY ET SES AMIS - Les Ateliers - Coloriages mystères", vom französischen Hachette Verlag und es ist einfach super, diese Marker für die relativ großteiligen Flächen zu benutzen, mir fehlen nur noch ein paar Farben;-)! Die Marker sind "Made in China" und es gibt nix auszusetzen, nur dem einen oder anderen könnten sie vielleicht so groß und unhandlich sein, mir gefallen sie sehr gut. Es gibt auch einen preiswerten "Discovery Kit", wo man diese Marker und auch andere Marker von Spectrum Noir mal ausprobieren kann, jeweils in unterschiedlichen Packungen. Ich habe auf jeden Fall eine Ewigkeit überlegt, ob ich die kaufen sollte und bin jetzt mehr als zufrieden, dass ich es gemacht habe. Wie schon erwähnt, mega gut für größere Flächen z.B. in Malbüchern;-)! Und natürlich kann man damit sicher auch Kunst schaffen, aber dafür bin nicht begabt genug. Aber ich habe schon mitbekommen, dass Künstler auch davon begeistert sind, man kann mit den Stiften tolle Kunstwerke machen, einfach mal bei Youtube schauen. Jetzt fehlen mir nur noch ein paar Farben, brauche wohl noch ein Set mit 12 Farben:-)!

I needed a fine nib pen and these have that and a brush end to . I used the brush end alone then I brushed some onto my glass mat and added a little water. I really liked the way you can blend and make the colour soft or strong. The nib end is great for fine stamps and adding detail. I bought the Nature and the Floral sets and will get the others. Amazon was the cheapest price on the net and fast delivery.

I love these pens great for intricate work as well as sketching

An amazing gift for my grandson. His artwork is brilliant with these pens

Present for my mum, exactly what she wanted
