Winsor & NewtonPromarker, Essential Collection, Set of 48 , Alcohol Based Dual Tip Markers

Bought these to add to my growing set of markers and to also have quality alternatives to Copic markers which are quite pricey. For 48 markers of which that 48 includes a blender marker. Variety of colours but only one or two can be used for skin tone, I think. Not bothered because I bought another set specific for skin tone.I tested/ swatched them over a semi-smooth 300gsm craft card. Colours look great and kind of match the colour description on the markers.Even on a 300gsm card, there was some bleed through. I’m not bothered about that. They are markers and most of not all will do this.Easy grip. The box can be used as sturdy storage. I strongly recommend you keep the box. It looks great and keeps the pens organised and safe. Will be taking these in hand luggage when I go on holiday abroad. I’m sure they won’t cause security issue.The box is brilliantly designed and easy to open and close. Might have to buy a separate travel bag for these.The lighter colours started off as though were dry but after a few swatches the colour came through and pen was alive with good flow of ink.Love them

My daughter loves these. They are little expensive though

stunning colors, great packaging. on a winsor&newton sketchbook it lay uniform color, but because its not a marker paper, but rather a water color/ink/ pencil, it doesnt blend that well and feels like the paper actually drains the marker. the tips of the markers are very durable and you can easily get used to them, even if the bullet tip is not a brush tip. i need to give 5 stars and as soon as ill get other sets i will also give 5. the lower price (cheaper than copic), good quality and vibrant colors, inspire one to spend time in front of the paper and demand a good review, thank you so much for a great product and do not make changes to it.

Beware that i have ruined some arkwork already as they spit ink when you take the caps off, as suggested twisting the caps off rather than pulling has helped but to be on the safe side im doing this away from my artwork. OVERALL: these are lovely pens, good range of colours for a starter set but you will definitely have to add to the collection to get more colours that are closer together to be able to blend some of the colour ranges better. The packaging is brilliant, it's sturdy and a great way to store them neatly.

Great set

These are amazing quality but so expensive! I bought them as a Christmas present. I just wish they were a bit cheaper but you get what you pay for. The box is amazing though, really solid and has a magnetic lid. It’s perfect to keep the ones organised by colour. My little artist really likes them. Visually they also look great. Really pleased.

For my budding Artist Grandaughter.She loved the set and is getting good use out of it.

I wanted these markers to start drawing realistic cars. The colours look great and blend somewhat well but I’m having trouble with these pens spitting ink everywhere which ultimately spoils your drawing as erasing ink is impossible. I have to make do blotting it out with my white Posca pen. It makes me feel that these aren’t genuine and they aren’t cheap either. They could have been better.
