Can you PAINT with MARKERS? Winsor and Newton Promarker Watercolor Markers!

[@Love2DrawManga]

I love the way you use color, it's so beautiful!

[@arleebean]

Thank you so much!!! That really means a lot :D I love your videos so much!

[@Love2DrawManga]

@@arleebean Aw, thank you!

[@3nLoui]

The piano music in the background is wonderful, so relaxing. And such a great tutorial!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks for the review, I didnt realize they rebrandsed them. I wondered if they were going to discontinue them because the old sets were clearances cheaply everywhere. I bought a few when they came out and I really liked them (but sadly forgot about them lol.) Thanks for inspiring mr to get them out again:)

[@prettybyaccident]

I'm stressed already just watching the swatching lol! These are definitely not for me but as always your final product is beautiful!

[@DoodleDrawArt]

Did you try working on pre-wetted paper? I wonder if you might get more movement if you did that.

[@ellyettepaige]

She said in another comment that she did try doing a wet on wet technique with em and the markers soaked up the water on the paper, which caused the ink to stop flowing out of the marker, so it didn't work out.

[@Lneillustration]

@@ellyettepaige ugh that sucks that would be cool to see it work.

[@ellyettepaige]

@@Lneillustration Indeed it would.

[@DoodleDrawArt]

@@ellyettepaige uh oh! I guess I was thinking paper that was less 'wet' than 'wet on wet.' but good to know.

[@eggboi4564]

I’ve tried these and usually they can really tear up paper so I feel like wetting it could be a problem. (Mine was watercolor paper but not like the highest quality so that may be different for some)

[@blahmcblah7994]

Love this video! I really appreciate how you put little sections of music in with just you painting. It's super satifying to watch and really relax, plus the perfect time to paint along with you!

[@79soumya96]

I love your videos, they are very relaxing, i binge watch them when i need some calm❤

[@isaniart]

These seem so difficult to use, but they might be a good challenge because I tend to blend out everything... :P

[@blahmcblah7994]

Hey! I know you from instagram! Totally didn't realize you had a youtube channel! Just subscribed, nice work on there!

[@isaniart]

Blah Mcblah Hello! Welcome! Wow, it’s so weird (and cool) to run into someone in the wilds of the internet who knows who I am☺️

[@blahmcblah7994]

@@isaniart 😁 Glad I could be that person for you 💛

[@katiealleena2049]

This turned out so pretty! I haven't used watercolor markers before. I tend to avoid water-based ink markers (except Poscas) because of how they tear up paper, even really good watercolor paper. But these didn't seem all that damaging! Anyway, awesome work! :D

[@arleebean]

Thank you, Katie!! ♥ These are a little rough on paper, but you're right, it's not as heavy as something like Posca pens.

[@radiantpudding4457]

they are actually pigment based, the pigments are listed on the barrel

[@shamardaniel4819]

I loved what these markers did for your style! It like gave pops of rich and bright color! Thankfully, you still managed to tame the saturation and make them work for you. Looks beautiful!

[@emmap.773]

Do you still use the Arteza brush pens? If so I would love to see how you use them now versus how you used them in that comparison video like 2 years ago! Also, do you use the Ecoline markers at all? I have one and I love it so much.

[@JennCampbell]

These would be great for travel or on the go. No spills! Just bring a brush/waterbrush and a pallet. 😊

[@clockenfrau]

i adore the nose in this piece. just lovely soft shaping. and the rainbow skin works really well!

[@ThatLazyStray]

I feel like these might be really fun to just take a few colours out with a water brush and a nice watercolour sketch pad and doodle out in the open. I love plein air water-colouring but sometimes i don't want to drag out a mass amount of art supplies, especially when i'm already lugging around several kilo's of text books for uni.

[@christinekoper2407]

These don’t look like they’d be for me but they do lend a super cool effect! Always nice to see more experimental stuff like this.

[@mack9403]

This is so beautiful!! The phase before the green was splendid then the green just mmmm. Beautiful! 10/10!

[@mschingacor]

WOW i did this using watercolor, thanks for a great technique.

[@bethaniepetitpas5699]

I love these markers. They blend so well with traditional water colors.

[@MM-dw5ir]

I use the Ohuhu and Tombow markers. Both of them can be used to doodle or color pretty flat on thinner paper, and also dilute turn to paint with, but they can't be layered too much on regular paper.

[@robynwhite5662]

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been struggling with how to use them. Going to have another go now..

[@KingyoArt]

What a lovely painting!! I think you managed really well the markers and did a great work with this portrait. I'm not sure if they would be good fit for me, at least not at this moment. Thank you for sharing!!

[@ohbli_oh]

Good job! I’ve been trying loads of different papers trying to find the right one. I just thought maybe some lifting medium might work well dried in a few layers in the paper beforehand. Give it time to sit on the surface longer. I imagine more sizing is better but then the most heavily sized papers are usually rougher and these are better in smooth paper.

[@pocketkaori9753]

I can't believe how beautiful this is. I am following you for some time now, mesmerized by your work, but never actually reached out. But this painting? Oh man... The way you put down the colors. The vibrancy. The brushstrokes. I am in LOVE with this piece. I know everyone has a different limits, but if I created this, I would call it a masterpiece and retire. Truly gorgeous. Please, keep painting and stay creative

[@donnaherbignat9457]

This is a very cool painting. Interesting media demo.

[@melissanarans4491]

Oooo thank you for showing me how to use the markers. I am excited. Really like your painting.

[@tracydean3678]

Wow, I want to learn how to paint like you. Love all the different colors in the portrait.💖markers worked out great.

[@benipray]

I'm in LOVE with how you use these. Gorgeous!!!! I also always look up to how you use and blend colors, especially on eyes, and honestly using markers that are so saturated and full of pigments give that further push to your use of colors (since your watercolor pieces are more on a "lighter" side, I hope you get what I mean!). I really do hope to see more illustrations with markers from you 💞 but hey don't forget the watercolors!! 😳😂

[@carolinaarias1669]

ive been following your yt chanel for years now, this one here shows how much you have improved in your portraits

[@tyinishahasty5173]

U could paint with skittle water, and it still would be 🔥 fire. 😍 u go girl

[@InTheBlackBoxTV]

this was a really nice way to work with the product. I have used w&n watercolor markers a few years ago but mainly mixed them in a palette, because of the uneven blending. Although i think the paper might play a role in how they blend too. A limited palette painting with blues and browns would be gorgeous!

[@chaosdestructionlove]

These look incredibly fun, I used to use the tombow dye markers in a similar way with using a light colour to blend the more pigmented colours together/water. Its definitely a different bit by bit way of working but it makes some damn fun effects. I need to do that again, got some pretty severe anxiety around the ingredient toxicity in art supplies so hoping to get a desk soon to alleviate that. Its not fun having your brain make you fearful of even non toxic art supplies. :,)

[@mypandapaints5854]

The paper has a huge affect on how easy it is for the colors to dissipate. While not a 100% cotton paper, they work best on Montval by Canson. After that, they work decently on Arches and the Winsor & Newton watercolor papers. There were a couple other papers they work well with but can’t remember at this time. Also, they need to be kept on their sides. They have a tendency to seem like two different colors on each side due to pigment settling if kept upright. I’ve found discrepancies in how fine their bullet nibs are also. Some are nice and thin and other are thick and nubby. Sometimes even a bit frayed.

[@bluewren65]

Honestly, they sound like more trouble than they are worth.

[@allthecolorsinmyhead]

I have tombow markers and eco line markers. I primarily use them in mixed media backgrounds so when they don’t blend out entirely, it just adds texture. Or I use them for coloring books that alcohol markers would absolutely destroy (which is most commercial coloring books).

[@rubymarie6232]

Man I need to step up my watercolor marker game. This is absolutely GORGEOUS. One of my favorite pieces from yours so far. I had no idea Windsor and Newton made watercolor markers. I use ohuhu, artx I think, and some Crayola. And tombow of COURSE. Again. I love this

[@prince9814]

Im just wondering if the tip of the brush will last long and remains its shape

[@widOwa]

I know you posted this 1 y ago but yeah they are top quality I have brushmarkers. They can bend a little bit when they are used a lot though but it's really nothing big

[@Insidekimsworld]

I tried the W&N Watercolor Markers and they were so hard for me to use. They have just sat in a drawer for over a year. I guess I could get them out and play again. Maybe they would work better for me if I used them on wet areas. Also, I was using them on cotton paper.

[@bekahpar-lar]

Such a great video this time around- I love how it all comes together in the end!

[@SophieRoseArt]

I love using waterbased markers, they are definitely harder to than using control once water is added but the final product is always unique and something I couldn't have created on my own, that's the kind of thing I love experimenting with as it teaches me so much about letting loose! I would love love love love to see you make a limited palette series with these markers! That would be so interesting

[@SusannaM]

You inspire me to paint more faces. I have Aquamarkers from Letraset and found it a bit difficult to move the colour. Will check again what kind of paper I have. Thank you. 😍

[@carolratcliff]

Thanks for trying these out. I have some I just haven’t experimented much with them. Now I’m excited to try them more. Did you happen to with the paper and try them…? I haven’t reached the end of the video so you might answer my question thank you.

[@ellahopkinson]

This is beautiful as always, I love watching your videos, they're so cinematic and relaxing

[@samuelgonzalez1549]

Thanks for reviewing these markers. I was wondering, what white paint brand are you using here?

[@josien635]

THANK YOU for the great example!

[@anne-marieolivier8318]

Can you put them down on a porcelain pallet first? Or would that impede the idea of the markers

[@fuzzydragons]

I've used different watercolour markers, and not matter the type/brand they were very streaky 😑 you did a great job with these, don't look streaky at all so will have to try some of these

[@Jazira13]

it would be interesting to see how the react when painting on a wet surface, wet on wet but with the marker. they might blend a little better

[@arleebean]

I found that the markers wick up the water, which stops the paint from flowing out. :/ I would've loved to see wet-on-wet work with these, but it kind of doesn't.

[@eggboi4564]

It would be cool if you made face chart templates for makeup in your style! The first image reminded me of those before you painted it.

[@eggboi4564]

Also I’ve used these markers in the past and it’s 100% a no for me but I’m sure some would like them

[@ArtbyLysa]

I love the rainbow skin! These markers look fun to work with if you know what to expect. Thanks so much for the review. Did you use a reference for the sketch and values or did you draw him from your imagination? I can never get my humans to have so much depth and dimension without a reference.

[@brentharris4320]

I don’t end up with any of the streaking showing underneath, which I’m happy about. I wonder if that is due to the paper I’m using. These would be rad on vellum.

[@juliaschmidt5738]

Wow!!! Can i use them with Alkohol ink?

[@everartokelli]

I have a few of these markers. Because they are so staining, they work better on 100% cotton paper than on the Strathmore 400 cellulose paper. On wood pulp paper they stain so quickly that some colors make unintentional marks. But from the comments, it seems that other artists have had different experiences so I guess one needs to experiment to make them work. I only really use the darker colors for signatures because they're mostly lightfast and the bullet and brush nibs make it easy to write in cursive.

[@paintingtheskykingdom9005]

it turned out lovely, but it would definitely ruin the flow for me to have to switch between markers and paint brush, at least I think so.

[@2damecuteUK]

So they rebranded there Watercolor markers . I own the original Winsor and Newton watercolour marker, I liked using the brush tip on these markers as it has a nice nib. I understood they were light fast too. My only negative was the pigmentations was really strong it made dilution hard to blend with the limited amount of colours available. I hoped they would offer more colours and a pastel set, future blender set, white marker similar to the Winsor & Newton pigment.

[@TealKorby]

Beautiful piece! And beautiful and informative video!

are you gonna make a print of this 🥺 i’m in love with this piece and it’s giving me so much inspiration

[@katana2665]

I got the early set in the tin. The best paper was the little piece that came with the set. I have yet to find paper that gives the same feedback. They didn't list what the sample paper was.

[@carolynn.e2631]

[@Foolish_huan]

Gosh I love watching you paint so much ! Even the way you get around the disturbing way the marker doesn’t completely dissolve with water... it still shows your style so well.

[@Lemu_with_a_shirt]

Not sure, but it looks like gouache to me.

[@ladyshecone7740]

Are these markers lightfast?

I was wondering if you could teach us how to draw faces like you because I LOVE your paintings and I love to paint, but I am not great at drawing

[@silkeschumann7261]

Watercolor marker fascinate me, but because they eat paper easily and stain the paper to various degrees, I was testing papers like crazy and the amount of paper pads I needed to store in my little place because of it became a real pain. Somebody needs to find a solution ... there is no substitute to try, see and feel them on different papers but it borers on insanity to manage all this paper ... sigh. I love how dealt with the effect and marker behavior.

[@The_Mandii]

EARLY AGAIN YAY!🤩🤩🤩 Edit: lovely video! I really enjoyed the process on this one and your use of color is always fun

He was wierd looking at first, but at then end he turned out good. You make it look easy Those markers seem good

[@ale-hh7yl]

How do we paint skin like that? For me I dont rlly know where to apply the colours etc and do we need to wait for the base to dry before applying colors?

[@therestlessknitter4290]

feelinhigh24_7 she has a great video on Skillshare where she breaks down how she applies different colours to skin. You can sign up for 2 months free.

[@doodleyournoodles675]

I just adore the painting!😍 I will give the markers a look sense I really want to work a little bit more on my limited color pallet.😄💕

[@radiantpudding4457]

The paper that you use with these makes a big difference, the more sizing the paper has the easier they are to blend. Cotten papers that don't have a lot of sizing like Archers don't work very well. The best paper I have found for these is wood pulp student papers.

[@monet23232]

Thanks a lot！

[@gildascorouge1278]

hi. Personnaly, when my paper (W&N 100 coton) have been pre wet on both sides, those markers are a pleasure to use

Always excited to see you post a new video. Especially, if I'm looking for something calming to listen to

[@chedoodles]

Yay! New video

[@eaor410]

I have the old set of 12 and I really like them, the brush tip is one of my favorites to do brush lettering 😆 although since is pigment based feels like I’m wasting them when lettering 😅 also is way easier to activate the color than using the pans, they are definitely great!

[@Lneillustration]
