FAQs

Are these pens suitable for absolute beginners?

Yes, they are excellent for beginners due to their easy-to-use nature and ability to create watercolour effects without the mess of traditional paints. The blending pen offers a great way to learn basic techniques.

How do I create watercolour effects?

Apply the ink to your paper as desired. Then, use the water blending pen to gently pick up ink and spread it, or apply clean water to the inked area to dilute and blend the colours.

Can I layer colours on top of each other?

Yes, the water-based ink allows for layering. Apply one colour, let it dry slightly, and then add another colour or blend the previous layer with water.

What is the shelf life of the ink?

When stored properly with caps on tightly and kept horizontally, the ink should last for a considerable time, typically several years. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight.

Are the inks permanent?

No, the inks are water-based and can be reactivated and blended with water. They are not considered permanent once water is applied.

Can I use these for outlining?

While the brush tips are great for colour application and lettering, they may be too thick for very fine outlining. Consider using a separate fine-liner pen for detailed outlines.

Troubleshooting

Ink appears faded or inconsistent.

Ensure the pen cap is sealed tightly when not in use. Store pens horizontally. If the tip is dry, try gently wetting it with water or using the blending pen.

Ink bleeding excessively through paper.

Use thicker paper (at least 150gsm) or paper specifically designed for watercolour or mixed media. Avoid applying too much water.

Brush tip is damaged or frayed.

Handle the brush pens gently. Avoid pressing too hard on the paper. If fraying occurs, try to reshape the tip carefully after wetting it slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • Paper: Best used with thicker paper (150gsm or higher) designed for watercolour or mixed media to prevent bleeding and buckling.
  • Surfaces: Primarily designed for paper-based art.

Care:

  • Storage: Store pens horizontally or tip-up to ensure even ink flow. Keep caps on tightly when not in use.
  • Cleaning Tips: If the brush tip becomes dry, you can wet it slightly with water or use the blending pen to reactivate the ink.
  • Avoid Over-Wetting: Use water sparingly with the blending pen to prevent the paper from becoming saturated and tearing.
