How to use

Shake the marker briefly if recommended by the manufacturer, remove the cap and draw directly on paper. For blended effects, apply strokes and then use a damp brush or water brush to soften edges and create gradients; allow artwork to dry between layers to avoid excessive bleeding. To remove marks, gently wash the paper area with clean water—test on a scrap if working on delicate or coated papers. Replace the cap after use to prevent tip drying.

Usage recommendations

Use archival or heavier-weight paper when planning multiple wet blending passes to reduce buckling. Test washability on a sample before applying to finished work. Store capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain ink quality.
