Metallic markers No name Derwent Academy 8 pcs — fine/medium tip, water-based ink

The Metallic markers No name Derwent Academy 8 pcs — fine/medium tip, water-based ink are a set of eight metallic-coloured pens designed for decorative drawing and craft projects. The pack contains a selection of metallic shades that provide reflective accents on paper, cards and mixed-media surfaces. Each marker has a fine-to-medium dual-purpose tip that allows for detailed lines and thicker strokes, while the water-based ink delivers smooth coverage with reduced bleed on common paper types.

Advantages

These metallic markers combine a compact range of reflective colours with a tip profile that supports both precision work and broader strokes, making them suitable for a variety of creative techniques. The water-based formulation dries relatively quickly and is easier to clean from hands and tools than solvent-based alternatives. The markers lay down consistent pigment with a metallic sheen that enhances embellishments without heavy saturation.

Suitable for

• Scrapbooking and photo album decoration
• Handmade cards and invitations
• Adding metallic accents to illustrations and mixed-media art
• Lettering, borders and small details on paper-based crafts

Key specifications

• Quantity: 8 markers
• Tip type: fine-to-medium tip for variable line widths
• Ink type: water-based metallic ink
• Recommended surfaces: paper, card, light mixed-media substrates
• Finish: metallic/reflective sheen

How to use

Shake each marker gently before use to redistribute the metallic pigment. Test the marker on a scrap piece of the project surface to check coverage and drying time. Use the fine edge for detailed lines and the broader orientation of the tip for thicker strokes or fills. Allow ink to dry fully before stacking or layering additional media to prevent smudging. Store markers horizontally when not in use to maintain even ink flow.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use on smooth, well-sized paper or cardstock; avoid heavy embossing folders immediately after application to prevent rubbing off the metallic layer. When combining with water-based paints, apply markers after paint layers have dried to preserve metallic opacity. Keep caps closed when not in use and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to maintain ink performance.
