CHROMATEK Watercolour Brush Pen Set 54, Tutorial Pad and Online Video Tutorial Series Real Brush Tip. Vivid. Smooth. Blendable. 50 Colors, 4 Blending Brushes Set.

I bought these as a treat to myself, I couldn't afford the more expensive ones but I went with the ones that had the best reviews in my budget and these are them!I'm brand new to watercolour, I make cards and want to bring something different to the table. These pens are so easy to use! You can blend them easily and the colours are bright! I got the 54 pack and there's every colour you could ever want and more. They dry surprisingly quick which is great. I've only great things to say about these and from watching the videos on YouTube, they are going to last me quite some time!

I've always been too scared to paint in water colour, let alone paint. Up till now, I've just been doodling with pencil or pen and rarely with coloured pencils. But I did often wish I could colour my sketches in with a more subtle medium that I could blend, so this was perfect.At first, I did have to remind myself that with it being a Japanese product, the blender brush must be unscrewed the opposite way to what you're used to, as it would not budge.Other than that, they feel so good, like a calligraphy brush that takes far less time to dry and is correctable, with speed and a lot a water, which I never knew was possible.This was my 1st painting I decided to attempt from Lesson 02 of the tutorial videos, which I love that they include as well as a free 14-sheet water colour paper pad to start you off. I have learnt so much already. I only skipped trying out the 1st one as with the limited paper I've got I preferred drawing a pear. I love pears, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. Harder to stay within the lines than I thought. The 1st 2 sheets of the free 14-sheet pad are blank to do your own thing but you can find the outlines for the tutorials later on. You can use both sides no problem as they use a high quality water colour paper. I highly recommend you follow the tutorials which are less than 15 minutes long each at most. It's practically a free water colour pen course with nice music, good pace and no voice commentary.Really enjoyed my first time using these. Totally zenned out. Thank you <3

These pens are literally what they say they are: easy to use, very flexible tips,a massive variety of colours and it does include a booklet of drawings to practice on and 4 waterbrush pens with long barrels with a variety of tips in different sizes and shapes. These pens are numbered and labelled on the side and the end of the barrel has the colour of the ink to make things more convenient. The ink is very vibrant and easy to break down with water, they blend well and if used with the right paper (Canson XL is a good option) the outcomes are astonishing, when you use the ink without water the edges can be a little rough in texture but when water is added it becomes really smooth . Some colours come out a little too light but depending on your preference you might find it just fine. For 54 pens and a booklet for this amount of money is awesome and is extremely worth it. Please keep in mind that when trying to refill the waterbrushes you must twist the tops the opposite way of what you would normally do (left= tighten right = loosen). Definitely would recommend.

it was a Birthday Present and wife like a lot.

Bought for granddaughter who’s a budding artist. She loves them & says they are easy to use & blend. I felt that they were very good value with plenty of choices of shades & in a sturdy storage box

Great set I bought these to try watercolour before investing in a quality set of watercolour paints

Was really excited to receive these, but sadly they disappointed right on opening. the pens don't sit neatly in the case, as the lids are a touch too big, and therefore they have a slight squished together look, not a major issue in terms of usage, but it is if aesthetics are important to you, it also means every lid needs to be lined up perfectly to see the colour names and numbers.The water pens feel really flimsy and cheap in hand, the plastic is really soft and feels like it would break easily, as they unscrew "the wrong way" forgetting this could quickly mean a broken pen, they also release water way too quickly.Then, finally we get to the pens themselves, the biggest disappointment of all, they were dry, varying levels of dry, but dry all the same. Out of the 10 pens I tried using, only one of them actually had a decent colour payoff. Some would work half decent as long as I only used the tip, some were dry and scratchy regardless of whether I used the tip or stroked, and one pen wouldn't give me colour, regardless of what I tried.The ones that did give me some ink I tried to blend, using my own methods and the tutorials, I get better blending using some standard brush pens I have than with these. With these the ink collects along the outside line, meaning no matter how much or well you blend, you get a heavy unblended outline, if you look for it on the tutorial videos you'll see even they have the problem, though it's not so noticeable in the videos, it will be in front of you. Even on heavyweight cold pressed watercolour paper the edge bleeding is really ugly, you'll notice on the tutorial pad the paper is "specially formulated for Chromatek watercolour pens" I expect so you don't notice the bleed so much, you will when you switch paper.If the pens dry on the paper, they won't blend anymore, so you need to work fast, hope your pen isn't too dry and work as much possible excess ink out of the edge line really as fast as you can, because you do not have long.Due to the high percentage of dry pens from the small sample I tested I returned these as faulty, I will not be purchasing again.

Lovely pens- beautiful colours- easy to use
