I really loved the landscape, I like the sketchy look where the marker didn’t blend out. The rocks are turning out super also.

[@pamsmith332]

Just watched the replay as I recently purchased these. What a load of useful advice! Thanks to all & of course, especially Lindsay. Great live.

[@TheRedundantArtist]

I’ve just bought some of these and the bullet tip looks like a totally different colour to the brush tip, and I don’t just mean darker. I have a brown colour that looks more like an Indian red on the bullet tip. Very strange but great markers

[@pamelaegnaczyk8011]

QUESTION: Lindsay, have you ever used the the TOMBO water markers? I really love the nibs, they actually feel like a rubbery tip, and they don't frizz a break apart like normal fiber tips..

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes, I have lots of Tombows, some 2nd hand and they last very well. They aren't lightfast but they are wonderful quality!

[@starshinesoldier]

Such a fun stream! I’m always drawn to the watercolor markers. I have Tombows that I never use. I should try some of these paintings!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You should!

[@MsVivian99]

First time seeing these paint pens !

[@gardendreamer9117]

Missed your live, but this was fun to watch. I pulled out my old watercolor markers (3yrs old, just a few misc colors I bought to try) & am going to try them now that I see how they’re used. I wasn’t sure how to use them until now. I was doing it all wrong…😂

[@Alice_in_artsupply_hoarderland]

I love your live streams, even though I slept through this one... stupid timezones 😴🙄 I bought my Faber Castell markers over 2 years ago, and they are still just as juicy as when I got them. By the way, look at the grey line right next to the caps. Then you will easily tell the difference on the nibs. Thin line for the bullet nib and thick line for the brush nib 😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks!

[@sonyaoart]

that was really fun, thanks for the stream

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Miastrong930]

Very fun video. Interesting watercolor product. The salt was amazing. I wonder if you can use the technique to create hydrangea bloom clusters.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes you can!

[@sandrah1779]

Hi Lindsey. Thanks for the review and demonstration I would like to hear your thoughts on Faber Castell lightfastness. There seems to be quite a broad range in between their ratings. Would you consider Faber Castell green box products to be lightfast?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They are supposed to be. I'd like pigment info tho.

[@rachelhilton1196]

HI, I love your demo, especially like the salt effect! I wonder if you could share what paper you are using? Thank you

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I don't remember

[@annehebert6959]

I wonder if because these are so vibrant they would be good to go over regular watercolor to add highlights, low lights, etc. Personally I am not sure I would have much use for them, but I haven't tried watercolor markers too much. As you said it would be faster to use regular watercolours when doing a painting....But thank you for the review.

[@heatherhigbee5144]

Very helpful! Thanks 😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hurmur9528]

Would be interesting to see durer vs the new dual markers (pitt) from faber castell. They have a thinner nearly a fine liner in one half and really thick one in the other. Durer seems to need thicker paper I think.

[@belbolser9671]

Can you turn the nib around in these markers like some of the alcohol markers? Just wondering! Love the lives! Always fun to see how media I don’t own is used! Thanks Lindsay! Enjoy your well deserved sunshine!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I don't know. I When one runs dry I'll try it. Im thinking probably not if they haven't marketed it that way.

[@brittneyiturrey931]

Hi Lindsay! Can you post the color palette for that rock? I love how they work together. I think it’s yellow ochre and dioxazine purple, but I’m not sure of the red and the black/gray. Thank you!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Gosh, I'll have to try and remember!

[@timyank8433]

So glad you put this video out there. Ive been thinking about getting these for awhile and in fact, I was in Blick yesterday to pick up some Prismacolors and came close to pulling the trigger but luckily stuck to just my pencils. Part of the reason I passed was because it thought they're were $144. Either way after seeing this review, I feel even more so that I dont need these since I have Tombows and Spectrum Noir water color markers.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I paid $88 at Blick online. I don't know how the price differs in-store.

Have you used the Amazon basics watercolor markers? Similar to Tombows but way more affordable! I love to use those to paint/sketch in bed.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I havent

[@willemijnkamerling4011]

Started live and watched the rest this morning. I think one of my favourite subjects of yours is rocks. They turn out so well every time! I love the chunkyness of these markers, though I have no need for lightfast markers. I have ohuhus and crayola's. I also don't use them that often. Do you have the Faber-Castell pitt pen brush markers? I need to look up the difference. 😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

The pitt markers are India ink and permanent when dry.

Yes they do if you have a well sized watercolor paper.

wow.. i loved this so much.. i went to order the markers, but here in canada, they are 183.00 for 30.. so that's a no go for me..

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You could try a few colors open stock instead of a set. I waited til the price dropped to buy.

[@bette-annflood835]

I saw Jennifer's video. Definitely silly. Could you imagine doing that. Lol very pretty hyacinth.

[@loke-art7383]

Beautiful 🥰❤️

[@artiskalai1970]

Thanks for doing this... I have been wondering about these markers also. I hesitated due to worry about lightfastness. Can you tell us how many markers are 3 stars, 2 starts and 1 star? This would help to decide if its worth getting... I would not use the 1 star for artwork so would only use the 3 and maybe the 2 starts for any serious artwork.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Most are 3, a few are 2 and no one's. I'd check their website and look at their chart. You van just buy the colors You want

[@artiskalai1970]

Color with them and then use a wet brush to spread the pigment.
