POSCA Pigment Marker PC-5BR Brush, light green, semi-flexible foam tip, line 1.0–4 mm, 1 pc

POSCA Pigment Marker PC-5BR Brush in light green is a water-based pigment marker with a semi-flexible foam brush tip that produces variable line widths from 1.0 to 4 mm. Designed for illustration, lettering and mixed-media applications, the marker delivers opaque, consistent coverage on paper, wood, canvas and many other surfaces. The brush-style tip offers control for both fine strokes and broader fills while maintaining stable ink flow and quick drying properties suitable for layered work.

Advantages

The semi-flexible foam brush tip combines the responsiveness of a brush with the durability of a marker tip, enabling smooth transitions between thin and broad strokes without splintering. The water-based opaque pigment ink provides high coverage and good adhesion on porous surfaces, resists fading, and allows for clean overlays and color mixing when dry. The ergonomic barrel and single-piece design make the marker easy to handle for extended creative sessions.

Suitable for

• Illustration and hand-lettering on paper and sketchbooks
• Crafts and DIY projects on wood and cardboard
• Mixed-media artwork and canvas accents
• Detailing and filling in small to medium areas with a single tool

When it may not be suitable

This marker is optimized for porous and semi-porous surfaces; it may not perform optimally on very smooth, non-absorbent materials such as glass or glazed ceramics without prior surface preparation. For extremely fine technical drawing below 1.0 mm or for very large-area coverage where a broader tip is required, a different tip size or marker type may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Tip type: semi-flexible foam brush
• Line width: variable 1.0–4 mm
• Ink: water-based opaque pigment
• Color: light green
• Suitable surfaces: paper, wood, canvas, mixed media

How to use

Shake the marker gently before use to mix the pigment evenly. Press the tip lightly on scrap paper to start the ink flow, then test strokes to determine pressure for desired line width. Use the tip edge for thin lines and the full brush face for broader strokes or fills. Allow the ink to dry between layers for clean overlays; if blending is required, work while the ink is still wet or use compatible water-based tools.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that the light green color matches your project palette
• Confirm the 1.0–4 mm variable line range suits your detailing needs
• Consider surface compatibility — best on porous and semi-porous supports

Usage recommendations

Store capped horizontally to maintain even ink distribution in the brush tip. For longevity, recap immediately after use and avoid prolonged pressure on the tip to reduce wear. If tip flow slows, prime on scrap paper before resuming work.
