STA Aquarelle Brush Double Tone Watercolor Brush Markers Review

This is a review of the STA Aquarelle Brush Double Tone Watercolor Brush Markers I bought off AliExpress for US $12.69.

STA Aquarelle Brush Double Tone -Watercolor Brush Markers Review

Firstly, this came in a pack of 14 and they are dual tips with dual tones so you actually get 28 colors. The pack came slightly damaged but the markers themselves seemed unaffected.

Quick test swatching of the markers found them all very nice and 'juicy.' The brush tip works well and I found them to suit my style, ie. not too flimsy or too hard. Using them with water, I found they blended out well to a fade and are a nice pen to watercolor with. Although I would prefer to use watercolor paints over these because when I tried to apply more color to make it more vibrant. I can't say it  blended in nicely. I think water coloring with these suits quick coloring techniques or making random watercolor backgrounds - which are always fun to do!

Quick Test Swatching

If your looking for examples of these in action, check out the following where I put these markers to the test on some of my projects:

- water coloring on my 'oh kitty tree' Christmas cards (https://melcrafting.blogspot.com/2019/11/christmas-cards-using-oh-kitty-tree.html)

-Direct coloring on the background of one of my 'Mama' cards (to be posted in near future!)

-Water coloring on my 'CAS Monocromatic Christmas card'

If you're looking for a basic entry level set of watercolor brush markers then this is a fantastic inexpensive option especially since they're dual tone. A bit of a downer that the packaging turned up damaged and once applied it's hard to add more color without it looking a bit wack-a-doodle.

Overall, these are great and I would consider buying them again.

Happy crafting!
