Markers Astra AF187AST round brush-tip set — 10 colors

Astra round brush-tip markers AF187AST — 10 colors are a compact set of fibre-tip markers created for drawing, lettering and illustration. Each marker has a flexible, brush-like rounded tip that enables both fine lines and broader strokes. The water-based ink delivers vivid colours, blends smoothly on paper and is suitable for layered colouring in sketches and craft projects. The lightweight cylindrical barrel provides a comfortable grip for extended use, making this set appropriate for schoolwork, hobby crafts and creative lettering.

Advantages

The set contains ten assorted colours in one compact package, allowing quick access to a basic palette without mixing. The rounded brush tip adapts to pressure and angle changes, offering variable stroke widths from thin to broad with a single marker. Water-based ink ensures smooth colour laydown, relatively easy blending on paper and low odour during use. The lightweight barrel supports comfortable handling for both short exercises and longer drawing sessions.

Suitable for

• Sketching and illustration

• School art projects and homework
• Hobby crafts, scrapbooking and card making
• Color studies and rapid concept sketches

Key specifications

• Tip type: flexible round brush-like tip suitable for variable stroke widths
• Ink type: water-based, low-odour ink for smooth application
• Colours included: 10 assorted colours
• Barrel: lightweight cylindrical design for comfortable grip
• Intended surfaces: paper and typical porous art papers

How to use

Select the marker colour required and hold the barrel at different angles to vary line thickness. Apply light pressure for thin lines and increase pressure or flatten the tip slightly for broader strokes. For blending, lay down a base colour and immediately apply a second colour while the ink is still wet, or use layering with gentle strokes to achieve gradual transitions. Cap markers after use to prevent drying and store horizontally to help maintain even ink distribution.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use these markers on smooth, absorbent paper intended for marker or mixed-media work to avoid excessive bleed-through. Test blending on a scrap sheet before applying to the final artwork, and keep caps securely closed when not in use.
