FAQs

Are these pens suitable for beginners?

Yes, the pens are designed for ease of use and are suitable for beginners looking to experiment with watercolour effects. They also offer enough versatility for more experienced artists.

How do I achieve a watercolour wash effect?

Apply the colour with the felt tip pen as desired. Then, using a clean, slightly damp paintbrush, gently blend the ink on the paper. You can also touch a wet brush directly to the felt tip for a more concentrated wash.

Can I use these pens with other art mediums?

Yes, the water-based ink can be integrated with other water-soluble mediums. However, always test compatibility first.

How long does the ink typically last?

Ink longevity depends on usage frequency and intensity. Storing them properly with caps sealed helps maximize their lifespan.

Are the colours permanent once dry?

Once the water-based ink dries completely, it becomes relatively permanent but can be reactivated with water, especially if not on a sealed surface.

What is the size of each pen?

Each pen measures approximately 13.5cm in length and 0.9cm in diameter.

Can I mix colours directly on the paper?

Yes, you can layer colours and then blend them with a wet brush to create new shades and gradients, similar to traditional watercolour painting.

Troubleshooting

Pen tip feels dry or ink is not flowing

Ensure the cap was fully sealed. Try storing the pen tip-down for a few hours to allow ink to reach the tip. If the pen is used, the ink may have dried out.

Ink bleeding excessively through paper

Use a heavier weight paper, such as watercolour paper or cardstock. Ensure you are not oversaturating the paper with water when blending.

Colours do not blend as expected

Ensure you are using a clean, slightly damp brush for blending. Blending works best when the ink is still wet. Experiment with different amounts of water.

Felt tip is damaged or frayed

Apply lighter pressure when drawing. If the tip is significantly damaged, the pen may need to be replaced.

  • Allows for creating versatile watercolour effects through blending.
  • Features fine tips ideal for detailed work.
  • Non-toxic ink ensures safety for users.
  • Durable tips offer longevity and consistent performance.

Cons

  • Water-based ink can bleed through standard paper if not handled carefully.
  • May require practice to master watercolour effects compared to traditional paints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These pens require no setup. Simply remove the cap and begin drawing or colouring.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard art papers. For optimal watercolour effects and to prevent bleed-through, use heavier weight paper such as watercolour paper, Bristol board, or cardstock. Avoid using on very thin or absorbent paper.

Care:

  1. Cap Tightly: Always replace the cap immediately after use to prevent the felt tip from drying out.
  2. Storage: Store pens horizontally or tip-down to ensure even ink flow.
  3. Cleaning: If the tip becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the tip in water.
  4. Ink Refills: These pens are not designed for refilling.
