How to use

Use the markers directly on paper for controlled lines and areas of solid color, then apply a wet brush or water brush to the inked area to activate the pigment and create washes or soft gradients. Test blending on the included coloring sheet to learn how much water to apply for the desired transparency or texture. Layer diluted applications after drying for richer tones, and combine with pencil or ink for mixed-media detail work. Replace caps securely after use to keep tips from drying out.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use heavier-weight or watercolor paper to prevent buckling when applying water. Start with light washes and increase pigment concentration gradually. Clean water brushes between colors to avoid unintended mixing and keep markers capped when stored in the metal tube to maintain ink performance.
