About Us

You may already have them in your drawer, or you may be unfamiliar with them: alcohol-based markers. I used to have a few but didn't know how to use them. These markers bled through the pages of my sketchbook, which was quite annoying. Tombow then released an alcohol-based version of their ABT markers last year. At the same time, I received a few lovely Winsor & Newton sets. I became inquisitive again, devoured all of the internet courses, and became so enthralled that I ended up presenting seminars with these markers. It's time for a blog post explaining the what, why, and how of alcohol-based markers! This is where the alcohol markers come in handy! With these markers, you may create a beautiful, smooth colour. Layering produces a very lovely and strong hue. Colors can be blended together as long as the ink is still wet. Is your ink dry? This is ideal for adding new layers. This allows you to, for example, generate shading in the same tone. Are you a fan of brush lettering? There's a good possibility you have a few water-based markers. Water-based colours are available in most brush pen brands. The wonderful part is that when you mix them with water, you get that lovely watercolour appearance. You can also combine the colours by rubbing the nibs together. Is there a significant disadvantage? When you begin colouring with water-based markers, it quickly becomes streaky. Water also has an effect on your paper: when you add multiple layers, it frequently begins to collapse.
