These are water-based felt tip pens that can be blended with water to achieve watercolor-like effects. They are not traditional watercolor paints but offer a convenient alternative.
You can color an area, then use a wet brush to blend the colors. Alternatively, you can apply color to a wet surface or use a brush dipped in water to pick up color directly from the pen tip.
The lifespan depends on usage. With proper capping and storage, they should last for a considerable amount of creative projects. Frequent use of the watercolor blending technique may deplete the ink faster.
These pens are not designed to be refilled. Once the ink is depleted, they should be replaced.
The pens are safe for artists of all ages due to their non-toxic, water-based ink. However, adult supervision is recommended for very young children during art activities.
While the ink is water-based, it may not be permanent on fabric and could wash out. For textile art, testing on a scrap piece of fabric first is advised.
Each pen measures approximately 13.8cm in length and 1.38cm in diameter.
Ensure the cap was fully replaced. Try shaking the pen gently. If the ink is dry, you can try dipping the tip lightly in water to rehydrate it, but this may affect color vibrancy.
Reduce the amount of water used when blending. Use thicker paper designed to handle moisture. Ensure the ink is not over-saturated before blending.
Store the pens horizontally or tip-down. Ensure the cap is airtight. Gently shake the pen to redistribute the ink.
Water-based ink is generally washable. Clean skin with soap and water. For surfaces, use a damp cloth immediately after the ink is applied. For dried stains, a mild household cleaner may be required.
Setup: These pens require no setup. Simply remove the cap and begin drawing. For optimal performance, ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to prevent the ink from drying out.
Compatibility: The water-based ink is suitable for use on most paper types. For best watercolor effects, use thicker paper or watercolor paper that can withstand moisture without warping significantly.
Care: To maintain the pens, always store them horizontally or with the tip facing down to ensure consistent ink flow. Keep the caps on tightly when not in use. If the tip becomes dry, it can sometimes be revived by gently dipping the tip in a small amount of water, though this may dilute the color. Clean any accidental ink marks on surfaces immediately with a damp cloth.
