Heart Nuvo Nightscape Watercolor Brush Marker Pens, Felt Nib, Firm Tip, Set of 12 Colors

These felt tip brush markers, configured in a good variety of colors, arrived in a padded envelope. The tip is more medium than small so a delicate hand will be required for detail work. Fill-in work should be very easy to accomplish. Still, the medium point is quite firm and easy to work with. The clear case that holds the pens is perfectly sized and should keep them from drying out. The pen caps fit snugly but do not snap on to the top for temp storage while in use. The tops are clear so it's easy to see what color you're reaching for. The pens have a contour grip that enables both adult and small hands to hold them comfortably. The colors are intense and not opaque, more ink than pigment marker. I haven't had a chance to blend them. The owners of this new company are enthusiastic and really want to make sure customers are happy with their purchase. I am highly satisfied with HeartNuvo/Mixerbin and will purchase more products from this good company in the future.

The seller sent an email before the product arrived with several tips on how to best produce a positive result. These pens are very versatile and can be used on there own or with other watercolor products you may already have. The color vibrancy and blending qualities add an element of brightness and pigmentation without a lot of heaviness. They are so much fun to experiment with and useful for any level of artist from beginner to professional. The price was a great value and shipping was very fast. In fact I also ordered the same pens with a nylon nib.

UPDATE: I still don't feel comfortable calling myself an "artist" but after a few months I REALLY love these pens!You can see (in the response below) that it was recommended I use a water brush pen and actual watercolor paper. With a lot of fun "playing" I was able to produce the feathers and flowers in the attached images (The first image was my attempt to use a thin papered coloring book. Meh.) Also, I find watercolor pencils to be helpful in several stages of creating.Original review here:Bit of a learning curve but in about an hour I made friends with these things.As you can see from the attached sample, my art ability is about 5 out of 10 ( not my artistic ability, I'm artsy in other ways just not with drawing). I got these hoping for a cool watercolor look with greater control than a brush. That is basically what I eventually got. At first I had no idea how to use these though. I was expecting to load the paper with marker and brush over with water. Eh, not exactly.Turns out, my best technique is to dip the tip in water (I know, feels like it will ruin your marker) but then with a little control over blotting (or not) you can achieve a lot of pretty watercolor gradations. Quality/thickness of paper makes a difference, my best non-specialty paper is card stock. Of course, bleed through means if you're using a coloring book, you defiitely won't be able to color whatever is on the flip side. I'm thinking I'll be using these to do some pretty lettering on homemade cards. In fact I just ordered a waterbrush pen (just plain water) to help with blending.Colors are definitely vivid. Way too dark/vivid for me, before I realized I needed to dip the tip in water. With a little practice though the vivid undiluted ink makes super accents. Only exception is the yellow. I augmented it with a yellow watercolor pencil because it was extremely dull.

I own and use many different types of brush markers for calligraphy and thought these might be a nice addition to my collection. Markers arrived in good condition and all of them work. The tip is firmer than Tombow dual brush pens or Sakura Koi but unfortunately it's not fine at all so it's impossible to achieve a nice thin upstroke for calligraphy. I won't be using these and definitely wouldn't buy them again. For nearly $7 return shipping it's just not worth the effort so I'll probably give them to my granddaughter. I'd recommend Tombow or Sakura Koi for large brush markers or Pentel Sign pens or Fudenosuke if you're looking for small pens.

The packaging was ripped & opened when I got it, although the shipping packaging was perfectly fine. Every single one of the pen's brushes are incredibly frayed & some are even ripped. Even the ones that aren't "that bad" barely even write. Definitely regretting this purchase.

Tried to use these with my watercolor projects, but was unable to do thin linesand it would continue to bleed into other areas of my work. I would not buy them again.

Wow! These are great! Beautiful blendability. I had to host Thanksgiving for a lot of family with children and I was nervous about them getting bored. So I set these pens out with some watercolor paper and some brushes and this kept them occupied for at least two hours (a win in my book!). I was initially worried that these would be messy but they weren't at all; no stains, no dripping paintbrushes, and easy clean-up. The colors are great and vivid and the inks are very consistent. I played with them myself later on and had a great time as well.

I ordered these watercolor pens recently on Amazon. I was very pleased with the quick processing and delivery that I received. I quickly received confirmation from Heart Nuvo to make sure that everything was going smoothly.The watercolor pens are great quality- easy to use. No mess. Very bright and vibrant colors. The brush tip felt sturdy, but with enough give to create a beautiful picture.I would highly recommend this product.
