LYRAAqua Brush Duo, Fine Art Brush Marker Set, Dual Tip, 12 Assorted Colours, Water Soluble Pens, Ideal for Professionals & Students

I really liked these pens. They were so easy to use and control. My only frustration is that I now need more colours!

I bought the 12 pack as I was after some good quality felt tip pens. These are certainly good quality and although I bought these back in 2015 (and haven't used them very much) the ink has not dried up at all! The colours come out well (though some are a little dull when they dry) and the ink flows really easily. I've not had any issues with it bleeding.I've started to learn how to hand letter/brush letter and was delighted to find that the larger end of the brush works very well for the thick and thin lines without me having to go out to buy specialist tools.My biggest complaint about these, however, is that the colours are very limited. The dark orange is the same shade as the red, there are two yellows in the pack (and really who uses two yellows?) as well as a couple of browns. Ultimately I would have liked something with a bit more variety (and maybe a pink or purple too) especially at such a good price.

These pens are excellent for colouring, the brush tip is sufficiently flexible to be able to make thicker or thinner lines and the ink flows together well so you don't get harsh lines as you do with cheaper felt tips. I did not find that the colour bled through the paper. However number of colours is very limited, although there are twelve pens there are two very similar yellows, a dark orange and red that are very close in colour and the dark brown is very close to black. There is no pink, purple or grey. A good starter set though.

A bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. I really liked the fact there were two tips - one brush-type, and a harder end for outlining. The colours supplied are good, although I do find the two reds are very similar (a number of the colours come in two shades - one lighter and one darker). I had wanted to use the brush end for calligraphy, but have found it unsuitable for this as it is quite firm.When shading I do find I can see quite a bit of 'edging' - the strokes are quite visible and don't blend very well. Also, there is some feathering with the brush end, not matter what weight of paper I have tried, as well as bleeding on some paper.Given the price, I'd say these are adequate for hobbyists who want to try something a little different.

I make cards, just for a hobby but I am a perfectionist & I only buy the bestI tried these on the reviews, just buying the smaller pack to begin with, you know just in caseWell, they are great, you have total control without a single messing offline paintI have just finished a card using these pens & to finish off just a bit of sparkle.They have the look of a Watercolour painting with a bit of poshI intend to by the bigger pack later onSeriously, you can buy this with confidenceI don't, normally flush with compliments, but these deserve it

If agree with others who say they're not artist quality, fortunately I'm not an artist! I wanted them to add a bit of flavour to my doodles and to try out something a bit from what I had been using.I'm now looking to upgrade to a bigger set with a more varied colour selection. I like to work with a limited palette, but there are limits and there are limits. You can see the results at madestuff, just Google it ;)

I have been using these to add colour to garden design plans. I'm no artist but have found these pens to be easy to use and I prefer the depth of colour compared to watercolour pencils. The pens are not dissimilar in effect to felt tip pens but the brush makes it easier to control and the effect is much nicer. I'm not sure I'd be happy with them for watercolour paintings but for my purposes they are fine.

Love these pens, it really is like painting with a soft brush. I have had no problems with them bleeding through pages. My only gripe would be that the two reds, whilst different colours on the lids, are barely different if at all. Perhaps it could be replaced with a pink or purple. Otherwise super pens.
