CHROMATEK Watercolour Brush Pen Set 54, Tutorial Pad and Online Video Tutorial Series Real Brush Tip. Vivid. Smooth. Blendable. 50 Colors, 4 Blending Brushes Set.

I am a big fan of Chromatek’s gel pens (I have two sets!). So when I saw this set, I had to have it. I wasn’t disappointed. I’ve always wanted to learn to watercolour paint, but had no idea where to start. This set includes not only 50 gorgeous colours of high quality watercolour brush pens, but also two water brushes for blending. But wait, there’s more. There’s a watercolour paper pad included. I thought it was going to be a normal pad of paper. It’s much better! Each thick, quality page has faint outlines of items to paint. Oh but it gets even better. There are online tutorials for each of those outlines. They’re short, easy to follow and have gotten me started on watercolour painting! This is an entire beginners art class all in your own home, at your convenience. I would recommend this set to absolutely anyone who wants to learn to paint with watercolours!

Very happy with the pens, I’m learning how to use them but so far very happy

I am a raving fan! I chose these thinking they might be good for a beginner, and didn't realize what a great purchase they are. The brush pens are exceptional - beginner and expert alike will find they are fabulous tools. The colors are rich and vibrant. The pad is high quality and performs beautifully. The most exciting part for me is the outstanding video tutorials. They are clear and easy to follow. Perfect instruction for anyone looking to take up watercolour painting in general as well as using these brush pens. Finally, Chromatek themselves are fantastic. I had questions and they were answered immediately with helpful responses and delightful communication. If you are thinking about these, I encourage you to get them!

Good brush pens would of been 5 stars but 3 pens were notworking

Watercolour overall is a medium I don't have a lot of experience with, but these pens do their job extremely well. They're a little tricky to use, so make sure you're holding them properly otherwise you'll end up accidentally colouring outside of your sketch. 😆 They provide you with free tutorials (+ a few pre-made sketches in the drawing pad) which are excellent for beginners. For each lesson you have a short video (~7 mins) + some written information about the colours used in the tutorial & standard colouring techniques. I'm someone who gets easily distracted so having the information split into smaller chunks (as these lessons do) made me follow them with no complaints. Two small nitpicks however: 1) Pen 05 - Emerald had already dried up by the time I opened the pack (looks like a slight manufacturing issue - see pic for small hole in the plastic casing). It's still somewhat usable but you can't get much pigment out of it anymore. 2) Some of the colours used in the tutorial seem slightly darker than what's provided in the pack even though they have the same codes/names. Still giving them 5* for how fun and smooth the entire experience is.

Watercolours very nice set

These pens are literally what they say they are: easy to use, very flexible tips,a massive variety of colours and it does include a booklet of drawings to practice on and 4 waterbrush pens with long barrels with a variety of tips in different sizes and shapes. These pens are numbered and labelled on the side and the end of the barrel has the colour of the ink to make things more convenient. The ink is very vibrant and easy to break down with water, they blend well and if used with the right paper (Canson XL is a good option) the outcomes are astonishing, when you use the ink without water the edges can be a little rough in texture but when water is added it becomes really smooth . Some colours come out a little too light but depending on your preference you might find it just fine. For 54 pens and a booklet for this amount of money is awesome and is extremely worth it. Please keep in mind that when trying to refill the waterbrushes you must twist the tops the opposite way of what you would normally do (left= tighten right = loosen). Definitely would recommend.

3 ⭐️’s due to the pro’s and con’s of these brush pens. The pro’s are some lovely colours, well pigmented, swatch sheet’s, small watercolour pad, nice brush heads, no dry pens, nice to hold, tuts to watch for beginners. The con’s are, difficult to get an even wash and feel rushed as colours don’t move well once dry (unlike true watercolours). I prefer to use my own brushes as not keen on the ones that came with the pens. This last is not really a pro or con, it just really annoys me, as the colour names seem all wrong (uploaded a couple of swatch cards and you may see what I mean). The Brilliant Yellow seems more like Lemon to me whereas the Brilliant Yellow looks like a Canary Yellow. The Light Pink is darker than the Medium pink. Peach Pink does not look peach coloured due to the purple running through it. Amethyst doesn’t seem to look like amethyst and I could go on and on. Have they stuck the wrong colour names on the wrong pens? I’d love to know. Probably wouldn’t buy again but it’s early days and they might grow on me.
