Wow. I’m genuinely blown away by this product. I expected “good enough” at BEST.The quality for the cost put these in the realm of amazing value. And I work with a BUDGET, okay?They are legit opaque and go on smooth as butter. No scratchiness. There’s no “priming” and they are completely waterproof as far as I can tell. I did run a wet brush over the sphere painting and nothing budged.The markers are not flimsy. They are very light but solid in the hand. The brush tip is exactly what it should be. The colors on the marker are reasonably close to the color of the actual “acrylic paint”.I don’t think these are actually “acrylic” as in “plastic paint” if you know what acrylic is (but I could totally be wrong). I’d call this more of a “waterproof gouache in a marker”. But I get why they just went with “acrylic marker”. More comprehensible. Doesn’t really matter on any practical front though.The only “nitpick” I can offer is that there are limited options in the really dark values. “8” and above according my personal value chart. I don’t find this to be a genuine issue. There’s plenty of “dark enough” and I prefer that if you have to favor one end of the spectrum or the other, I’d favor the light and midtones like they did with this product. But really. Five or six genuinely DARK values would balance the palette more. Rather than just two. At least a really dark green and blue. But that’s REALLY nitpicking.I do know the whole problem with this is opacity. It’s hard to get chemically provide both “super dark” and “opaque”I confess I want more colors. I would definitely pay for more colors at this price value.MAYBE a separate set of just darks?Either way. Great quality for great value. Five stars well earned.

I recently used the Arrtx 36 Colors Acrylic Marker Set for rock painting, and I am extremely pleased with the results. The set offers a vibrant array of 36 colors, providing plenty of options for any design or project. The extra brush tip is particularly impressive, allowing for precise detailing and smooth application. The markers flow evenly and cover well, making it easy to achieve intricate designs and vivid colors on rocks. They dry quickly and are resistant to smudging, which is perfect for long-lasting artwork. Overall, the Arrtx acrylic markers have exceeded my expectations, making them an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced artists looking to create stunning rock art.

These markers are exceptionally easy to blend on paper, which so far is the only surface I have used them on. As you can see in the attached pictures, which is a coloring sheet by Chet Minton from his Etsy shop, they are very opaque, and if the first layer is not opaque enough, the second layer will definitely cover your surface. They lay down smoothly, and I love the fact that you don't have to shake them up like the standard paint pen and then press until the paint is in the nib. The brush tip makes them easy to apply whether it's a tiny space or a wide swath of area to be covered. I do intend to use these on rocks and shells as well as paper, but my primary Art Space is portraits and drawings, as well as coloring for fun. So of course I tested them out on a coloring page.My only quibble is that if you leave the cap off without using the marker constantly, like if you're using two markers to blend and you're not using the pen for a minute or two, the unused pens have a tendency to dry up and you have to wipe it on a blank sheet of paper to get the paint flowing again. I'm not talking about leaving the pen on your drafting table for hours, I'm talking about just holding on to it while you work the other color onto your surface and then coming back to that pen to blend it, it will be too dry to actually get any paint out of it. But it's not completely dry you just have to remember to swipe it on a piece of paper before you go in and try to blend it. That, and the little stickers that they supply you with to identify the pens do not stay stuck. So if you're going to use them, I suggest taking Scotch tape and putting it on over the stickers. But that's a minor nitpicky thing for me.Overall, these are paint pens that any artist or Crafter should have in there toolbox. Will buy again.

These markers are GREAT when they actually work. They layer nicely, are vibrant and saturated, and they dry quickly. Immediately out of the box 4 out of my 36 felt dried out and un usable. Luckily after dipping the nibs in water they seem to have been revived. I think the company should have labeled the markers with their color code. Putting on the stickers individually wasn't a hassle but a lot of the colors on the sticker are inaccurate to the ink color and if your stickers come off there is no other way to identify the color of your marker outside of the cap or switching it yourself. I haven't had them long so I can't speak on their longevity but I hope in the future the company offers a way to refill these or at least a way to buy them individually.Tldr: these are great markers but have room for improvement I recommend getting them when they're on sale

The set I bought was lightly used and honestly, they worked like brand new and were wrapped and packaged as though it had never been opened. The value you get for the range of colors in the 30 colors set is really awesome, I did not regret this purchase.I used a mixed media paper for testing the colors, and the paint didn't bleed through to the back nor curled the paper (I am light handed so I'm not sure how it works for heavy handed folks). The paint layers very well on top of each other so it's easy to cover over areas you want to fix.I use the white pen more for mixing the paints together. To be honest, I would still use my posca pen if I wanted really prominent white highlights and details as the arrtx white acrylic pen wasn't as strong and opaque as the posca's.
