Felt pen set Staedtler 3001 C6-1 — 6 colours, Fine point, bullet and brush tips

Staedtler 3001 C6-1 is a set of six felt pens designed for drawing, sketching and colouring. Each pen combines a fine point with a flexible brush tip, allowing precise lines as well as broader strokes and watercolour effects on compatible papers. The pens are supplied in a compact cardboard box suitable for storage and transport.

Advantages

The double-ended design pairs a fine tip for controlled line work with a brush tip for variable-width strokes and blending. Line width of the brush tip ranges approximately 1.0–6.0 mm while the fine tip produces lines around 0.5–0.8 mm. These pens work with water to create softened or blended colour effects on most watercolour papers and are convenient for illustration, hand-lettering and everyday creative tasks.

Suitable for

• Sketching and outline drawing
• Illustration and hand-lettering
• Colouring and shading with brush strokes
• Creating watercolour effects on suitable paper
• Schoolwork and hobby crafts

When it may not be suitable

These felt pens are intended for use on paper and papers designed for watercolour effects; they may not perform well on glossy, coated or non-porous surfaces. For heavy-duty markers, archival ink needs or permanent outdoor signage, choose products specifically designed for those purposes.

How to use

Select the tip appropriate to the task: use the fine tip for detailed lines, outlines and lettering; use the brush tip for filling areas, variable-width strokes and blending. Apply water with a brush or water brush to produce watercolour effects on paper that supports wet media. Replace caps after use to prevent drying and store horizontally if manufacturer instructions recommend it.

What to consider before purchase

• Surface compatibility — best results on paper suitable for water-based media
• Desired permanence — inks are intended for creative use, not necessarily archival or permanent outdoors
• Line width needs — check fine and brush tip ranges to ensure they match your project
• Number of colours — set contains six colours; consider larger sets if more colour variety is required

Usage recommendations

For clean lines and consistent brush effects, work on paper designed for water-based markers, cap pens immediately after use, and test colour blending on a scrap sheet before applying to final artwork.
