DOODLE HOG 48 Premium Watercolor Pens +2 Highly Blendable Watercolor Markers, Flexible Tip Brush Pens for Drawing and Illustration, Art Supplies for Adults, Gift Box

Actually was shocked when I swatched these and found them comparable to Tombows in a waterbrush. I read the reviews and thought, okay, I'll give them a try, and what do you know; they worked like the majority of the reviewers have said they would! I am super impressed. I am only a hobbyist and don't sell any of my "work"; I do just about every kind of artwork under the sun and have about all my money tied up in it, too, so anytime I can find less expensive alternatives to the more well-known brands that will give comparable results, I'm all for it. These brush markers are a prime example of comparable quality, seriously. My swatch picture, keep in mind, was a very small page (about 6x5 inches) so I didn't have a lot of room to work down into all the gradients, but just that first time I used them, I was amazed at how workable each color was! Yes, I'd love some more greens and reds, and that first color (a neon yellow) is not water soluble at ALL) but hey, you CANNOT beat that price anywhere. I have used them about a dozen times in the last few weeks, and even the colors I've used the most have shown no signs of slowing down, so even if they were to slow down down I'd still be happy for the price I paid. Thinking about buying a couple more sets before everyone else catches on and they raise the price due to demand, which will ultimately happen. Grab 'em while you can!

I really enjoyed this set of watercolor pens. I am a novice when it comes to watercolor but this made my learning really fun and simple. It's pretty neat that they included two water pens, which is why I picked it over other brands. There are many colors of varying tints, shades, and tones. That's helpful because aside from mixing colors, it can be hard to control how much to dilute with your water pen. The brush heads themselves feel to me very much like a synthetic brush but with good fibers and will handle reasonable use. The pigmentation is strong on some so you will have to experiment. In general I feel like it's decently easy to mix, although I haven't used pens from other brands so I can't compare that trait. I'm still getting used to the many ways you can use the pens. Like wet on wet or wet on dry techniques. I'll update after I've had them for longer! There's no instruction booklet so it's really your own adventure. Also, my friends have had a chance to try it too. It can be challenging to control watercolor, but everyone enjoyed the new experience. Definitely recommend! I attached a piece I did after some practice, using only Doodle Hog markers and water pen.

Great product! These watercolor brushes are easy to use with great blend ability and color range! Love them.

These blend so nicely for the most part. A couple of the neon colors don’t blend as well as the rest but they’re very bright so that’s ok. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is that there are to many oranges and they are so similar in shade. I counted 10 orange and 4 were so similar in shade that it seemed a waste, they could have added some grays instead or more true blue shades.Other than that, the box it comes in is sturdy and good to store them, they swatch beautifully on cold press watercolor paper, the brush tips are a good size and none of them were dry. The tip will allow for some nice detail work as well. Overall this is a really nice set, a good value. I recommend giving them a try if you are looking for a reasonably priced set of good watercolor pens.

What a wonderful set of markers. I have used them on regular copy paper and gotten outstanding results. The colors are so vibrant and the brush tips makes them easy to control. I believe these markers rival the much more expensive brands. I have also used them as a base color and then used colored pencils over them with great results. I’m very pleased with this set. I like that the cap stacks on the end. I also like the color name as well as the color number is written on the barrel. The end of the pen also has the color on it. It comes with two blending pens as well. I think it’s a really good value. I really love that they are brush tips.I had to contact the company about a very minor issue and they bent over backwards to make it right. I can’t stress how great their service is. To me that’s very important. I will be purchasing their products in the future as well.

Shipping was quick, item was exactly what I ordered!

We are a homeschooling family and try to do art once a week so I’m always on the lookout for art supplies. We especially love watercolors so I was intrigued when I saw these pens. They are loaded up like markers but the delivery mechanism is a brush. They are VERY responsive and with little pressure, the tip remains very fine so you can deliver color with great detail. The harder you push the broader the stroke. But the best part is the water blender brush. Even after my project sat a while I was able to come back over some parts with water and they responded just like watercolors so I could fade and blend easily. All the fun and none of the mess. My kids kept creating with these all evening, I’m sure they are a tool we will come back to again and again.

So first the glitch.. the fillable water pen Isn’t lefty loosy, righty tighty .. you’ll break it that way. It’s backwards. You turn to top the right to open and turn to the left to close back up. The pen tips themselves remind me of paint brushes really soft and fine, definitely something you cannot be heavy handed with like a pen or even as much as a regular marker or you’ll smash and destroy the tip very quickly. There was talk in reviews on repeats .. well if you look at them while dry it looks to be the case but upon wetting you’ll quickly see the difference because there not as pigmented as the one that looks to be the same color. I myself was presently surprised with that. Overall great product and purchase and I’m definitely gonna enjoy using this and you cannot beat the price!! This one is a no brainer for newbies like myself just looking to try the watercolor pens to compare against watercolor pencils but not wanting to drop big bucks until you know you’ll prefer better.
