ARTEZA Watercolor Paint Pens, 24 Watercolor Brush Pens with Flexible Nylon Brush Tips, Paint Markers for Artists, and Beginners

As a sketchbook artist, I love these. They are incredibly vibrant and flow so smoothly. There’s minimal bleed and usually only when you really go back and forth and soak it into the page. The color selection is perfect and I find myself using them with multiple layers of other media—acrylic, colored pencil, brush pens, ink, etc. It’s even better knowing you can blend everything together seamlessly with a little water as well. I’m very happy I bought these and have them in my supply kit.

The colors are appealing- as you can see from the image. Note I only use these to color and not free hand art so I cannot comment on their use if you plan to use these for making things to sell. Brush quality--is you get what you pay for situation. So this set came with 96 markers. 3/96 had tips where they were frayed but usable. 6/96 needed to have 1-4 "hairs" removed because 1 came loose and you need to use your finger or tweezers to gently pull it out sometimes you take out a "clump" but the markers are still usable. Conclusion/Storage Comment: I think the set is worth the money. I might have bought the 96 set that came with a case. The package THIS SET order comes in ONLY has a plastic point box and plastic trays which aren't the best to store and use over a long period of time. To remedy the issue, I bought a larger cylinder food container(s) to hold all 96 markers. These markers are very long, 7 inches thereabout, and the marker caps are fatter than the “butt” ends and I store these facing down. If you are very picky with how you'd like to store them, keep that in mind. There are 96 markers here. That's a lot despite them being quite skinny in terms of space you'd need to store them. Personally no case I found with plastic inserts were long enough, and I didn't and don't have space for them to be sticking out of multiple holders. Because there are 96 markers and the cap ends are fatter, finding a container to even hold them in all in ONE was hard, again I had to find a food storage cylinder with an air tight cap worked out fine. Notes: the color of the marker is on the "butt" end and so the markers are stored upside down for me to see which color I am picking. Overall the indicator is usually true to the actual marker's color. I think these are recommended to be storied horizontally, but I have not had any issues. Other reviews have mentioned to be careful when re-capping the markers or you'll damage the brush tips, and I agree. It is true you need to be careful. I'd recommend these for kids 8+ years as long as the kids are careful and so are their friends!

These are ink markers. I thought was ordering acrylic markers that are paint pens and at the same time I ordered Arrtx acrylic markers that are acrylic paint. I obviously didn’t read the description but have a set of their pencils and thought I was trying a paint pen from a company I liked (haha). Prepared to return them, but decided to take a look instead Always looking for something new. Turns out I love these markers. They have a very small very precise and very flexible brush tip. The tip takes very slight even pressure to use properly. There are 48 colors that have been selected to represent what you might need in a piece without any color being over or under represented eg there are two browns, one is a deep brown like Prismas chocolate and also a reddish brown like Prismas Sienna brown. Very nice. They do bleed through the page but not to the paper beneath it . Though I suppose with enough repetition or pressure they could. The caps are clear but the opposite end has small dome that fairly accurately represents the color of the ink. I am quite pleased with them and would recommend them without reservation. I think they are fairly priced. I am an amateur to be sure but it is a fun hobby that is actually enhanced by these markers. Their lay down is so smooth and effortless it is hard to put them down.

First, these work as a travel watercolor painting kit. It has several open slots for expansion. The colors are nicely saturated such that water diluting offers a wide range of options. The water brush is a bit too high flow, I use a real paint brush for better results. The color can be lifted and pushed around which is really nice. They are actually brushes with an incredibly fine tip. While raw color is more economical, good brushes and color are similarly priced to this kit. However, the case does not stand well, the base is curved. Also, the hook-n-look on one side was incorrectly sown in place. I had to rip it off and sew it in the proper place. Other than that, the case is actually nice. It goes on sale, if the retail price is too high, just wait bit. I highly recommend good watercolor paper. You'll think any watercolor paint is terrible with bad paper.

When I bought these Arteza Real Brush Pens I was under the impression that they were able to be used with watercolor art. I saw reviews where the artists were able to add water with a brush and blend the ink like you would do with actual watercolor but it didn't work for me. No matter how thin or thick the line I could never blend it enough to really have a smooth gradient. Once I realized that they weren't what I had expected I began to love them as a way to add more depth of color to my watercolor paintings as well as with colored pencil work that was done using heavy weight paper. The colors are rich and vibrant. The brushes are soft and fluid and the tips are sharp making it simple to fill in very tiny areas of the pictures I am working on. I would not recommend using them for covering large areas of background and they are far to wet to use in most coloring books including the higher quality ones found in most adult coloring books. As watercolor brushes I can't recommend them but when used as a brushed marker which is what they are marketed under they are perfect and are great for creating details. The example picture I am including was done with watercolors but the details such as the text and also the bright Lego were done with the Arteza and you can see how rich the color is compared to watercolor. Clearly I am not an artist but this gives you an idea of what I am trying to describe.

I bought the ARTEZA Watercolor Paint Pens (24 set) in 2021, and they still work perfectly. The colors are beautiful, from bright and vibrant to soft and mild tones. None of the pens have dried out, and the ink flow is smooth and consistent. The nib size is perfect — works well for small details, outlining, and also bigger areas. One of the best things is the speed: it’s super easy to cover large areas quickly. The ink dries immediately, yet you can still add layers smoothly without disturbing the base. No bleeding at all, which is a huge plus, especially for clean work and journaling. Best used on smooth paper for best results. These pens are highly functional, easy to control, and very satisfying to use. Perfect for doodles, journals, illustrations, landscapes, cartoons, mandalas, and more. The final outcome always looks great. Highly recommended!

Edit: I now have a set with pointed brush tips that function beautifully. I must warn that these brush pens may be tricky to use for non-artists/illustrators. If your illustrations need a lot of dry brushing techniques and detail textures, this is for you. They require a lighter touch and calligraphic movements to get the full effects. These brush pens are excellent for my style of realistic illustration. Though I don't like the effects of watering these down, they're great for adding details to watercolor and alcohol marker work. I'd recommend this set to professional illustrators, especially for the fact that it's the largest set of brush pens I've found on Amazon--having 96 colors is really convenient. The art supply industry needs to watch out for the dark horse that is Arteza. Excellent products and excellent service. Original: I have been collecting Arteza supplies for the past year. If you walk into my art studio you'd think I was a loyal fanboy. With that said. I'm disappointed in these brush pens. About 25-30% of the pens had frayed tips, which is a bummer for me because I planned on doing some detail work with these pens. A couple of them had water inside of the caps, which combined with the frayed tips, leads me to believe these may have been used before. However, I did get these for a good price, which kind of makes up for the issues. Unfortunately, I can't just reorder these pens as the price has gone up a lot since I bought it last week. I guess I'll just keep these as a backup collection. This isn't going to stop me from getting more Arteza supplies though.

I ordered these Arteza real brush pens with the case after seeing them on Amazon with great reviews. From my initial unboxing and after using the brushes on paper samples (I used various manufacturers papers, from mixed media to water color specific - in various weights) I went from initial excitement to disappointment within a few days. The brushes arrived on time and the package was undamaged. The case came zipped and was wrapped with a item description (96 brushes, case and water brush). The case was very nicely made and that alone made a good impression. I opened the case which was was filled with 96 brush pens neatly arranged and secured within the elastic slots. There was also additional slots and one had a water brush. The outside of the case has a zippered compartment and a detachable shoulder strap. Based on those things I would give five stars. While browsing at pens still in their slots I noticed what looked like liquid on a few of the brushes at the end where the colored cap is sealed. I touched the liquid and immediately noticed my fingers were red colored. I took the brush out of the slot and noticed the cap was loose and not on properly. I shoved the cap back in the barrel but it did not stay firm and secure like the others were. I am concerned that would be a problem, who knows how much ink was lost since the case is black. I have not noticed any other obvious initial leaking with brushes I’ve tried so far. I did notice a few brushes were on the drier side, not sure why since those showed no signs of leakage. The brush tips were mostly in great condition with the exception of a few that were not staying in a sharp point, they were almost split like a snakes tongue. I could not get them to come together as a sharp point no matter what I tried. Considering I only tried a few brushes at this point and having these concerns I reconsidered my initial reaction and would now rate this purchase a four. The colors are very nice, most are highly pigmented and closely represent what is on the end cap of the brush. Colors seem to work better on mixed media paper versus watercolor paper. Different colors reacted differently with technique. Some instances the colors became muddy when trying to blend. Reworking a dried color takes a lot of effort and in some instances it can be done without any evidence of reworking and sometimes it is not possible. These and a few other minor issues caused me to reconsider and to give it three stars. I really wanted to like this set and based on my initial reaction I added the Arteza Professional Watercolor Pencils, Set of 120 to my cart. I was hoping those two items from the same company would be consistent in color and would be a nice addition to my art supplies. I am going to see how I like this initial purchase from Arteza and determine if I will return or keep my order. The range of items and reviews were good, I don’t know if I just got a bad set or I am just expecting too much.

Well what can I say about these pens? I’m an artist & I usually buy much more expensive pens. However, seeing this particular brand all over the place I thought I would give them a try!! Well they haven’t disappointed me at all. They are richly pigmented! and so clever to use! I use them exactly like a brush & dip the tip in water so that I get a wash & continue to use so that the pigment starts coming through & gets stronger! That way I get an ombré look without having to do any shading work! The pen does it for you! Don’t see these as pens, see them as brushes! I love the packaging too!. As an artist I usually have all my pens, pans, pots & tubes in one place scattered about, so normally they are tipped out of the packaging & it is thrown away, but I bought the whole set, every colour, so I invested in the carry case with them! It’s really the best way to buy them! they are put together in their colour palettes, slotted in, easy to see & easy to keep tidy! The price point on these & all their products is very reasonable for what you get! I’ve bought a few other Arteza products to try out, for which I have reviewed. I have nothing negative to say about this brand whatsoever & will be using them in the future too! I also love their paints, their mixed media & watercolour paper pads, for which I have already reviewed! They also do a great little grey linen bound watercolour book that is sewn bound! It is great! I love all Arteza products, they are now my ‘go to’ brand! I hope my review helps you & if you’re undecided about whether to try Arteza products, ponder no more, just take the leap! You won’t be disappointed!!!

Inutile dire che si tratta di una marca top ed incredibilmente apprezzata sia dai novizi che dagli esperti del disegno, questi pennarelli rendono onore al marchio prestandosi perfettamente a molteplici utilizzi, io personalmente li utilizzo su statuette e miniatura con un primer bianco o dove devo agire e intervenire per addensare o definire ombre e sfumature, in casa ho una disegnatrice che li ha letteralmente divorati nel tempo rimanendo soddisfatta della durata, delle prestazioni e dell'impatto visivo creando interessanti contrasti e riproduzioni di tavole fumettistiche, non posso fare altro che suggerirlo a chiunque voglia approcciarsi al disegno o comunque a Chi desidera un prodotto relativamente economico ed incredibilmente prestante

First time trying out Arteza real brush pens, good quality brand, excellent choice of colours. Easy to use, blend well with water colour paper. I received a few damaged pens, when I contacted Arteza their response was quick and sent out a new pack within days. I also purchased Arteza water colour paper excellent quality. I would definitely recommend Arteza products.

Cela fait longtemps que je voulais me procurer ces feutres, j'en avais entendu beaucoup de bien et je ne suis pas déçu ! Très agréable à utiliser, une vrai mine pinceau et de très jolies couleurs j'adore !

These are wonderful pens with very vivid colors. Some of them have a few hairs sticking out, but it's easily remedied with a good pair of scissors! I love the storage bag! This way the pens are not all over the place and can be neatly stored. Other brand brush pens fit too, like Jane Davenport brush pens! I bought another, empty Arteza bag to store them. It really helps to keep my painting supply brushes & thinner marker pens organized! The slots are too small for thicker markers or pens...! I'm very happy with the brush pens & the storage bag & will buy the pens separately to refill the bag!
