Talens Ecoline 5 Brush Pens "Grey"

Greyscale set:I have only used the grayscale markers in this set. I have also use tombow and staedtler brush pens in their watercolor versions... I've also used alcohol-based markers.These are very juicy markers. The Econoline refills appear to be the ink bottles with the eye droppers.I needed to use my teeth to unscrew it the first time but these are absolutely refillable and they look like they're very good quality stick markers with heavy plastic and they feel comfortable in the hand to use. Royal talens / Ecoline says that these are due based and implies that they are not light fast, so I'll only be planning to use them in sketchbooks, and not pieces that plan to be framed. I'm totally okay with that..right after I first try these, I immediately ordered a couple more Gray's that were loose pens so that I will have a few more. They work very well with watercolor, and they do layer and acts like watercolor on the paper. I don't know about lifting the colors on watercolor paper once it's dried I'm hoping that they don't lift very easily because I'm wanting to use these to add shadows. The paper that these are switched out on in the photographs is arteza acrylic heavyweight paper. When I run a wet brush over them they do not lift at all. The tones do change temporarily. And then they seem to turn back to their original hue. I'm pretty happy with that, although this paper is terrible for watercolor so I'm not sure how it will work on normal watercolor paper but I don't think it will be a lot different. because the ink in these markers is fairly wet I can see that it's potentially something that might smudge a lower layer of color or pick up color in the nib. The nibs are not actually brushes but a solid piece of fibrous tip. It is flexible however though and you can get a fairly thick line as well as turning it sideways for a thinner line.If you look at the photo that shows the word 'Greys' close up, notice that the edges and pigment density really emulates a watercolor stroke. particularly on the very tail of the why how it gets lighter towards the tip of the letter's tail where the pen was moving more quickly as I lifted it.

I will use for my value studies.

The media could not be loaded.  I love the variety of shades in this pack. Highly recommend these for calligraphers! In my video, I’ve used them on Canson Bristol paper. Highly recommend this for others that want the ink to sit on top of the paper longer to allow easier blending. I also use Canson marker paper religiously to help prevent the fraying off my pens.@kvehrcalligraphy

Love brush tip markers. These are more for calligraphy and not coloring. The color is a bit inconsistent. They are ok.

great

Una herramienta bastante interesante para probar técnicas nuevas de acuarelas, sueltan mucha tinta y hay que elegir un papel bastante grueso para acuarelas, pero es bastante divertido experimentar con ellos, van bastante bien con pinceles que llevan un depósito de agua.

Ainda não achei canetinhas melhores, muito macias, não mancham a tinta nanquim, adorei.

Ça ne vaut pas le même sous forme liquide. Ça laisse trop de traces.

Excelentes rotuladores, muy recomendable como complemento a las acuarelas, pero se necesitan más colores para completarlos, acierto seguro

Ottimi
