Edding Colour Happy - Set of 21

To create a new shade, apply the coloured brush pen to a surface (like a plastic sheet or palette), then apply the colour mixer pen to the ink on that surface. Use the mixer pen to pick up the colour and apply it to your paper. You can also apply the mixer directly over the coloured ink on the paper to lighten or blend.

The ink is water-based and water-soluble until dry. Once dry, it is relatively stable but can be reactivated with water, so it is not considered fully permanent.

While the ink is water-soluble, these are brush pens designed for drawing and lettering. You can achieve watercolour-like effects by blending with a wet brush, but they are not traditional watercolour paints.

The standard brush pens contain the coloured ink for drawing and writing. The colour mixer pen contains a clear, water-based medium that, when applied to the coloured ink, allows for blending, lightening, and gradient effects.

Longevity depends on usage frequency and storage. Storing them horizontally and capping them properly after use will help maximize their lifespan.

The colour mixer pen is exclusive to the Colour Happy Edition sets and is not sold separately.

Ensure the cap has been removed properly and the pen is stored horizontally. Try gently shaking the pen.

Use thicker paper or paper specifically designed for markers. Ensure you are not applying too much ink or liquid.

Ensure the base colour is still slightly wet before applying the colour mixer. Experiment with the amount of ink transferred to the mixer.

The colour mixer works by transferring ink. Ensure there is enough ink on the nib of the coloured pen being mixed. Clean the mixer nib if it becomes saturated with one colour.
