STAEDTLERPigment Arts Brush Pen - Assorted Basic Colours, Pack of 36, 371 C36

The colors and very pigmented and beautiful. The brush pen is very easy to use: not too soft, and not too hard. These are water based so too many layers could damage thin paper. I use these for adult coloring on books that have double sided pages. I can say with confidence these will not bleed through, and also will not show on the opposite side, so long as the paper isn’t too thin. In summary, these are great quality brush pens at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend them.

This is just a heads up to all of those who are thinking of purchasing these because they might add more colors to the existing Pitt range by Faber Castell and perform similarly- these are not like Pitt markers in that when you apply them to (dry) acrylic, mixed media, or coated surfaces, they will NOT dissolve out with water or mix into one another. When applied to a slick acrylic painted surface (a canvas I am working on) the ink dried immediately and could not be "softened" with water, as Pitt markers can. The magic of Pitt markers, at least for me, is that on acrylic or sealed surfaces, they have a slight "open" time where you can soften them with water, mix them with a layer of wet paint, and blend them with one another before they dry (when they become permanent and will not move with water and/or additional paint layers).The Staedtler markers dry instantly, and will not budge at all once you apply them.Oddly enough, they did dissolve out on mixed media paper, and never fully set on that surface- I came back to the marks I made the next day with a wet brush, and they bled out. So I don't get it- it looks like the ink medium they are using to make the ink instantly dried and won't budge, but the pigment particles can be lifted out with a rough brushing even after the ink is dried, but only on paper.The pros? Vibrant, juicy, GREAT small brush nib, lightfast. Too bad these aren't a little more "flexible" when wet.

First of all, for anyone who loves FC Pitt artists pens, these are almost identical in many ways. There are no differences in performance, just subtle differences between colors. I feel like this is a great set to have, in conjunction with the full set of pitt markers, however, this set is brilliant on its own.There are 36 vibrant colors in the set, and when I say vibrant, I mean it! This is one of the difference between them and FC... Pitt pens all wind up with a soft finish, once dried. There pigment pens dry and the color is noticably brighter than FC. A great example is the blues swatch I made. The top pen is Staedtler Pacific blue, and the FC is phthalo blue. They are the closest tones I could get between the two sets, and though they are closest, they are definitely clearly different colors. There are no brighter blues in FC, so I find this to be a great supplement to that set, for me.One of the lovliest things about this set, is the array of colors! I love that this set has more pink and violet tones in it, as opposed to the Staedtler 36 set of watercolor brush pens. This makes me happy, because these sets seem to always have lots of browns and neutrals, but not enough pinks, teals and purples. I am quite satisfied with the selection!Finally, a product that has all the names on them.... This will make it so much easier too combine sets and memorize colors! For professional artists, this set also is light-fast... And you don't need to look too far for the ratings, as they are clearly marked on the barrel of each individual pen!I do think that the entire set could be improved in a minor way, as far as the brush is concerned. It is a compact, felt brush tip, which is flexible at the very end, but gets a bit more stiff as you get closer to the plastic area the nib rests in. They are pretty much exactly like FC, in that regard. However, Staedtler also has some color and grey tones that are available with what they are calling a "soft" brush. I have to say, the soft brush is definitely an improvement, and I think that they should consider using this in every pen like this. Obviously, this is not a make or break issue for me, but for some who are trying to do some calligraphy or letting, you might not get great movement on the upstrokes. This isn't a problem for me, it doesn't effect if I'll purchase again (I WILL!), and it's really something I just think you should be aware of... I DO hope that Staedtler is paying attention to places their customers see any room for improvement. I can scream it's praises enough, this set just does it for me lol!!!Ps... If you are using on watercolor paper, you absolutely CAN use water to soften the lines and fill in the space, with a brush pen.... This is ink, so you have to work fast before it's permanent, but it's actually very easy to do! I am thoroughly enjoying this product.....

Love, love, love these for base coloring small areas in coloring books. I learned about them from Coloring Chemist. She mentioned how they offer some bendability on coloring books & they can be used as a base without bleeding through like alcohol markers.The blendability is limited and needs to be done quickly, but there is some room for this. Results vary on paper types.The best part for me is the option to use them as a base color without the paper pilling (like with a water-based marker) or bleeding through (like an alcohol marker).

The two stars are because it was missing one out of the 12. I'm assuming they were used/returned?

Staedtler has created an amazing pigment brush marker pen! It doesn't bleed to the other side of your pages. The colors are so saturated and perfect!I bought the 24 set and I love each color. I kick myself that I didn't buy the full set when they first came out because they were a lot cheaper .But I'm still glad I bought the 24 set!

Habe mich mal von der Werbung verleiten lassen und bin echt überrascht wie das Versprechen stimmt.Es macht mir richtig Spaß damit zu malen

Un po’ cari ma sono veramente validi!

J'adore ces feutres, je les utilises pour les colos mystères, il ne traverse pas, et les couleurs ressortent tellement bien sur les colos, je suis fan.Dommage qu'il n'y a que 36 feutres ahah.
