Winsor & NewtonProMarker Brush Set, 48 Count, Essential Collection

Colors are rich and blendable. This is done in marker with background in acrylic over marker.

I use alcohol based markets all the time and these are beautiful colors and last a long time too!

Windsor Newton is one of the premier firms when it comes to pigments of just about any kind.I've used their watercolor paints for years.Their markers seem to be just as good. Yes you'll pay a little more up front, but they should last quite some time if well cared for. Consider them an investment, they will more than pay for themselves in the long run. That makes them a good value.

The media could not be loaded. After months of research, I decided to go with both pro & brush markers and I couldn’t have been happier. They are very smooth and easy to work with as stated in previous reviews. I will be expanding my collection, but this is what I am starting with as a test trial. I would recommend that once you receive your markers swatch them as soon as possible just to make sure that you didn’t get a defective batch, which can’t happen sometimes. (Also, the rings that my swatches are on were bought through Amazon as well.)

I draw with charcoal but this was for my daughter. She wants the name brand drawing stuff and I can’t complain bc she’s actually good. She draws faces, people and anime. Now my daughter paid used her birthday money to buy these markers. I think it was expensive for a 14yr old. Bc how much she draws. Most of them didn’t last 8 months. But hey, it was her money and it’s what she wanted.

I bought my first skin tone set after watch ADC art attack YouTube video. I am EXTREMELY satisfied and wish I could afford every marker. IMO these are the best marker on the market.

Here’s an honest take on this set of alcohol markers: the quality isn’t terrible, but the color accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. Most of the markers are very similar in shade, which makes it tough to get the kind of contrast and variation you'd expect from a set. It feels like you’re getting 10 versions of the same color with just slightly different undertones.Even more frustrating, the color on the caps doesn't really match the ink, and that inconsistency makes it hard to plan your artwork. Unless you swatch every single marker beforehand (which you shouldn’t have to do with a quality set), it’s easy to end up with unexpected results.On the plus side, the markers do blend decently and the ink flows smoothly. The brush tips are not very firm but hold their shape well, so from a technical standpoint, they’re usable. But for anyone who’s serious about color precision or expects a true variety in tone, this set will probably be disappointing.In short: decent build, decent blendability—but weak on color diversity and accuracy. Fine for practice or filling in large areas of similar tones, but not ideal for detailed, color-rich illustrations.

I love these markers! They blend really well and colors are vibrant and opaque will definitely be my go to markers when drawing.
