Copic Ciao Marker 3 pc LAYER & MIX Mellow Palette Chisel/Brush Cool gray Ivory Light pink

The Copic Ciao LAYER & MIX Mellow Palette contains three dual-tip alcohol-based markers designed for blending, layering, and expressive illustration. This set includes a chisel and a brush tip in each marker, offering smooth ink flow and consistent color application in Cool Gray, Ivory, and Light Pink. The compact Ciao body is lightweight and portable, suitable for sketching, coloring, and mixed-media work where subtle tonal transitions and delicate shading are required.

Advantages

Dual tips (chisel and brush) provide both broad coverage and fine detail control, enabling precise lines and soft washes. The alcohol-based ink delivers fast, even drying and excellent blendability, allowing gradual tonal building without streaks. The selected Mellow Palette tones—Cool Gray for neutral shading, Ivory for soft highlights and skin undertones, and Light Pink for gentle accents—work together for natural-looking gradients and layered color effects. The markers are refillable and compatible with replaceable nibs, supporting long-term use and sustainability.

How to use

Begin by testing each marker on a separate scrap of compatible paper to observe opacity and blending behavior. Use the chisel tip for broad strokes, base layers, and edge work, and switch to the brush tip for detailed lines, strokes that require variable width, and soft blending. Apply light layers of ink and blend gradually: overlay colors while the ink is still wet to achieve smooth gradients, or use the brush tip to feather transitions between tones. When finished, recap markers securely to prevent drying.

Usage recommendations

For best blending results, use heavyweight, bleed-resistant marker paper designed for alcohol inks. Work in thin layers and allow minimal drying time between overlays when creating soft gradations. Maintain tips by storing markers horizontally and replacing nibs when wear affects stroke quality.
