5 Reasons to Buy Watercolor Brush Pens

Wondering if watercolor brush pens are right for you? Here are five reasons to give these unique markers a try:

Mess-Free Painting

Watercolor pens are filled with lightfast, vivid ink, allowing you to paint straight onto paper. The tight-seal caps prevent paint from drying or leaking out, so you can expect rich, beautiful colors with every use. Once you’re done painting, just put the cap back on — no need to wash brushes or clean anything up!

Great For Outdoor Use

Just like regular pens, watercolor markers are lightweight, portable, and perfect for traveling. You can easily fit a whole set in your bag, and the water brushes (included in every set) allow you to mix and blend colors without a palette or reservoir. And it’s easy to dilute the ink for light and luminous washes.

Versatility And Ease Of Use

More than painting, watercolor markers are great for calligraphy, kids’ artworks, cards, and so much more. With a little practice, you can master the nylon brush tip and create thin or thick lines with varying pressure. The water brush also opens up a wide variety of techniques that you’ll enjoy working with!

Vivid Colors

The pens’ blendable nature means you can mix, dilute, and saturate colors as you please to create shades beyond the ones included in your set. Flex your creative muscles and paint with as many colors as you wish!

Kid-Friendly

Watercolor pens are water-based, non-toxic, and odor-free, so they’re perfectly safe for toddlers and budding artists. The ink is easy to wash off from clothes and little fingers. And with no need for cups or brushes, you don’t have to worry about messy spills or leaks!
