Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush Watercolour Brush Pens (Set Of 36 Colours)

These are excellent, unique wc-type brush pens, but they work best with the use of a water-brush as well, to blend in stroke-lines and graduate the color. (They don't work the same as a regular brush and watercolors creating pools that blend without lines.You have to add the liquid to the paper before the color dries..) Zig Kuretake are high-quality across the board. Always. With everything they make. I have and use many of their pen varieties... I am very happy with the 60-color set, though be forewarned that it includes 48 newer colors plus the colors from the original 12-color set , so if that is what you started with first, like me, you will have at least 12 color repeats... I don't mind, as they were ready to replace anyway after nearly 5 yrs., but If you are serious about collecting these pens, the best tip I can give is to start with the 90-color set, if it's in the budget, then add on to those colors with the unique 30-color sets they bring out new each year. This way there are no repeats. They are also sold individually at many art stores, so I will supplement the colors I am missing between the 60 and 90 sets and build on from there. My pens have all lasted me at least 4 yrs. and still going strong... I have yet to have one dry out on me.. At first I didn't think lighter and darker shades of the same tones were necessary, but later learned that using various shades together and blending the edges was the way to really make these pens and your creations pop. I now want them all! It's also very helpful to turn the pens upside down in their clear case so that the colored ends are easily visible instead of their white caps, and definitely keep a log or swab-book with both the number and color-name for no-confusion ordering and reference... Shipping from Japan they arrived in perfect condition and 1 week early, in case you're wondering, and all of them fresh and juicy!!! Zero damage. I have already moved on to my next 30 new-color set!

I love how these perform. They are easy to blend and make a very fine line if needed

How I love, love, love using these brush markers. My copics have been delegated to the back of the cupboard to make room for these, and wow, are they just gorgeous to use. I much prefer water-based than alcohol, and the colour range of these is amazing. They also blend so beautifully. The brush is smooth and fine, so getting into the details is possible in ways that other pens simply can't achieve. The colours are quite rich, so it's worth getting the blender if you like using paler colours or blending out to a fade. Watercolour pens work well with these too, however, I've found the blender to be the best when aiming for a smooth, even diluted colour. The quality of paper makes a HUGE difference, and I've found them to blend well on smooth cardstock or ivory paper if in colouring books (like the paper in Johanna Basford's books). They also work really well on watercolour paper, however much more ink is used and I've found I have less control with blending because the paper absorbs so much ink so quickly. Using them on wet watercolour paper is also good but they very much behave similar to watercolour paint, in that you're best to allow the ink to do it's own thing and go with its flow, than try to control it too much. I've found it best to dab colours to blend and play with on an acrylic or silicone palette, then use my blending marker or a water brush to apply to the page when I want to apply or blend with lighter or diluted dark shades. The skin tones you see in the image I've shared are not included with this set but can be purchased separately in the portrait set (6). I also used watercolour pencils to complement some of the colours I used from the 60 set.
