Full details

This guide is for artists, students, and hobbyists looking for a reliable set of watercolour pens. The key benefit is the vibrant, non-bleeding, and non-smudging colours that allow for beautiful, continuous painting. A potential caveat is that while washable, immediate cleaning from porous surfaces is recommended. This set includes 24 pens in assorted colours, made from odorless, highly pigmented water-based ink. Each pen is constructed from plastic and measures 155x10mm.

FAQs

Are these pens truly washable from fabric?

Yes, the ink is designed to be washable from most fabrics and skin with soap and water, especially if cleaned promptly after contact.

Can I achieve actual watercolour effects with these pens?

Yes, you can achieve watercolour effects by adding a little water to your paper or using a wet brush over the applied ink to blend and create washes.

What is the shelf life of these pens?

When stored with caps on and in appropriate conditions, these pens can last for several years. Ink may eventually dry out if left uncapped.

Are the colours fade-resistant?

The product description states the pens are non-fading, suggesting good lightfastness for typical applications.

What is the ink base?

The ink is water-based and odorless.

How many pens are in a pack?

This pack contains 24 watercolour pens in assorted colours.

What is the size of each pen?

Each pen measures 155mm in length and 10mm in diameter.

Troubleshooting

Pen not writing or skipping

Ensure the cap was replaced properly after the last use. Gently scribble the pen on scrap paper. If the issue persists, try holding the pen nib-down for a minute to allow ink to flow.

Ink bleeding unexpectedly

Ensure you are not using excessively thin paper which can cause ink to spread. Avoid saturating the paper with too much water when trying to blend.

Ink smudging after application

Allow adequate drying time before touching the artwork. If blending, use a light touch and minimal water. Ensure the pen isn't excessively wet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Vibrant and rich colours for artistic expression.
  • Washable ink simplifies cleanup.
  • Ink does not bleed or smudge, ensuring clean artwork.
  • Odorless and water-based for a safe and pleasant user experience.
  • Consistent colour flow for smooth application.
  • Large pack size offers great value and variety.

Cons

  • Requires immediate cleaning for best washability on certain surfaces.
  • May not be suitable for highly detailed professional work requiring extremely fine tips.
  • Plastic construction may not be as durable as metal-bodied pens over very long term.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These pens require no setup. Simply uncap and use.

Compatibility: Compatible with most paper types. For best watercolour effects, use heavier weight paper (e.g., watercolour or mixed media paper). While the ink is washable, it is recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first if using on delicate fabrics or surfaces.

Care:

  1. Always replace the cap securely after use to prevent the ink from drying out.
  2. Store pens horizontally or nib-up to ensure even ink distribution.
  3. Clean any accidental ink marks from surfaces immediately with water and mild soap if necessary.
  4. For washable results on skin or clothing, clean as soon as possible with soap and water.
