ARTEZAReal Brush Pens, 48 Watercolor Pens, Drawing Markers with Flexible Brush Tips, Watercolor Markers for Artists, and Beginners

Love this coloring set, worth the buy for sure! Debated for five years on this and finally got it and I do not regret! Doesn’t bleed too much unless it’s double sided paper and you need both sides. Glides on so smooth, not a dull spot on the brush even the tip is so fine and perfectly colored. Easy to use once you pick up the rhythm of it. Size is perfect for a paintbrush style. Not for writing letters though, mostly for art.

Grand daughter loved these! Nice quality.

Really easy to use compared to traditional paint or watercolor with brushes. They are better than traditional markers b/c you don’t really see the registration marks that markers leave. There are lots of colors and you can blend them to make more however the largest set is probably better if you want even more variety. They are a good size and comfortable to use. They make really good marks and don’t require you to go over the same area a bunch of times. The water brush pen is useful for blending and simulating a watercolor look. I think they’re worth the money and would buy again when the paint runs out.For this drawing I used these brush pens, watercolor, gel pens, and micron pens.

Pretty easy for beginners! I've never done water color before, and these sheets were my first attempt with these brushes. None were dry! Some of them (especially the lighter colors) are harder to blend out. The water brush is useful, but smaller than it appears in photos. I only had to fill it once though for the entirety of these pages, and it's still relatively full. The blending is not so bad! I think the markers blend well, I just need to practice more to get the streaks out. They do, however, dry relatively quickly. I would not use these markers standalone for writing/coloring. They leave a rather scratchy line before the water is applied. The color brushes also do not expel much color when used after water on the page, so you have to wait for the water to dry a bit before reapplying. Lastly, the brush tips are in pretty good shape! A few came frayed, but they clump back together with use. I used the water brush a LOT and the hairs did not fray, even when I did long strokes. For beginners, this is definitely satisfactory. I am not sure how well they paint just yet, but they blend easy enough, and the colors are very vibrant. (Sidenote: Beware if you use masking tape! I used it to section off my squares, and the tape took off some sections of the paper with it. Nothing to do with the markers themselves, but be warned that after you complete your project, you run the risk of tearing it!)

These are not the Real Brush Pens you’re looking for......They’re Much More!I’ve been eyeballing these Real Brush Pens by Arteza for almost 2 years now trying to convince myself that I could find something similar elsewhere and for cheaper. Let me tell you, nothing I’ve found compares to these strange cuties.Key points:1. They play well with water but it requires some imagination. (Using a blending sheet, dipping or running the brush tip onto a wetted area to create color blossoms for a wet on wet effect or giving a quick swipe with a wet brush.) The last technique of adding water with a brush will vary in success as some pigments won’t budge easily if the paper is too absorbent.2. I believe these brush pens have been engineered in such a way as to simulate watercolor without the need of additional water. In fact some pens even disperse ink just like a brush freshly loaded with paint and water. It’s trippy and I love it!3. These cool pens have a secret that is only revealed under the right amount of water dispersion....They color shift!!! I’ve seen teal green have a shadow of aqua and forest as well as walnut brown echo a lighter truffle and reddish brown once the ink dispersed into water.4. Lastly, you can create super fine lines or robust calligraphy strokes but go slowly unless you like some chaos in your style....which works too.So in summery.....These are unique Real Brush Pens and while it’s tempting to go for a similar brand for lesser money I doubt you’ll find the quality and charm Arteza has put into these lil dudes. The brushes are robust and can hold a shape, the barrel is thick enough to provide ergonomic comfort to your hand and lastly the ink is vibrant and richly pigmented. Check them out and be creative...art is fun when it’s unpredictable.

This product is really fun to use. The quality of the colors are really good.
