Winsor & NewtonWater Color Markers Set of 6 0290002

These are fantastic watercolour markers. They have transformed my way of painting so much that I now create beautiful floral works as well as great detailed works that I cannot achieve using my sable brushes. These pens are also perfect for plien air and great sketch work. The colours and textures are just the same as the pans and tubes and give the same great coverage, depth and mix with other colours and creating more colours. You can also add water to the paper to mix the colours or I rub the nibs together which creates great colours. I am so delighted with the these pack of 12 pens I bought a further 6 individual colours and will be buying more until I have ‘the’ full range. These pens last for a long time and have not dried. I love them.

Very disappointed. I have bought the sets of 6 and 12 plus some extras and all behave like marker pens - impossible to blend once applied to paper. I watched a number of video demos before purchasing and these markers do not behave like the ones demonstrated. I note one reviewer in 2015 says theirs were made in France - mine are all made in China and I assume the production method has changed. I will be contacting W&N.

I ordered a set of 12 markers after doing some research and they seemed fantastic. When the item arrived they didn't blend and looked like I drew lines on my paper with a permanent marker. After trying several watercolour papers, from cheap ones to expensive ones and even copy paper the result tested the same. I contacted Winsor and Newton and they explained that it could have been a bad batch sitting in Amazon. So I ordered another set, and I experienced the same.After talks with Amazon they are going to investigate the issue and i'll go to my local art shop to buy this product.

Used For artwork practice, only just beginning to explore their uses. They are a quality product, ( hence 4 stars on value) but at a good price for what they are. The brush tips and variety of possible strokes lovely.Pigments are strong and can be spread with water, but use the right brush, a soft watetcolour brush may not move the pigment easily if it has begun to dry, whereas an acrylic brush will. Watercolour paper a big advantage. , depending on the results you want.The temptation is to buy more of these colours, though I have a good stock of art supplies already!

Bought as a gift,recepient delighted.says colour and coverage excellent and easy to use,delivered quickly. Some colours more vivid than others.
