Crafts and Colors Watercolor Brush Pens

Hello There My Crafty Friends,

I was fortunate enough to be able to test some watercolor brush pens for Crafts and Colors.

Here's their Crafts and Colors Facebook Page.

 

This is the first time I have ever tested anything, 

so am pretty excited about it and wanted to share my review with you all. :)

I am fairly new to working with watercolor but these brush pens are so easy to use. It's great that you don't have to worry about a mess as they are more like markers though can have a little water added with the water brush to really get some shading. They have beautiful bright vibrant colors with great brush tips making it easy to get in small places and the colors are easy to blend. I used them on a piece of cardstock that I had as well as a piece of paper from the sketch book that came with it. I didn't have any problems with ink smearing using them to color a printed image on the cardstock or a stamped image on the paper that came with them. I am so happy to have these brush pens to work with as they are well worth getting!

 

You can find them Here On Amazon

 

...Here's what I used them to color...

 

...This is on a piece of the watercolor paper that comes with them...

...This is on a piece of cardstock...

I really like that I can use a colored pencil over them for more shading if I like.

Most of you probably know that I love coloring with colored pencils, though 

I have to say as fun as these watercolor brushes are to use, 

I know I will be using them as well.

 

I hope you enjoyed my review. :)

Thank you for visiting.

Happy Crafty Hugs,
