Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer Watercolour Markers - Wallet of 5

Yes, the ink is water-based and water-soluble, allowing you to use them with water and brushes to achieve authentic watercolour effects like blending, washes, and lifting.

The brush tip is flexible and can create a range of line widths from thin to thick based on pressure, ideal for sketching and coloring. The fibre tip is firm and provides a consistent 1-2mm line, perfect for outlines and detailed work.

While they can be used on various papers, they perform best on watercolor paper. This allows for optimal blending, wash effects, and prevents excessive bleeding or buckling when water is applied.

Apply the marker color to the paper, then use a clean, damp paintbrush or a water brush to blend the ink while it is still wet. You can also layer colors and blend them with water.

No, these markers feature high lightfastness, meaning the colors are resistant to fading when exposed to light.

The brush tip can be used for some forms of expressive calligraphy, similar to a brush pen, by varying pressure. However, they are not traditional calligraphy markers designed for uniform script.

'Plein Air' refers to painting outdoors. This set includes five colors specifically chosen to be useful for capturing natural outdoor scenes and light.

Ensure the cap was fully closed. Store the marker tip-up for a few hours or use a slightly damp brush to re-activate the ink.

This marker ink is designed not to bleed through. If bleeding occurs, the paper may be too thin or absorbent. Try using a heavier weight watercolor paper.

Ensure you are using a suitable watercolor paper. Use a clean, damp brush or water pen to blend the ink while it is still wet. Experiment with the amount of water used.

Avoid excessive pressure or scrubbing. If the tip is damaged, it may affect fine line control. Store markers properly to protect the nibs.
