These pigment Decobrush markers provide the ultimate creative freedom. They are flexible and versatile brush markers filled with rich acrylic paint. This opaque paint can be used on all kinds of materials, such as paper, metal, glass, plastic, wood, textiles and lots more! It can also be used on dark surfaces and will be just as richly pigmented. These colours can be easily blended until the paint is completely dry to create beautifully smooth gradients and tonal transitions and once dry, the paints become waterproof and permanent.
The Pigma Micron from Sakura contains a permanent, pigment-based ink that will not bleed or run if liquids are spilled or applied after the ink has dried. The free flowing ink is also UV ray and chemical resistant which will keep the ink from fading over time, ensuring your creations last for years to come. This pen is a necessary tool for multi-media projects as it can be layered and used with virtually any other media.
This high-quality paper is perfect for mixed media. Dedicated to connect both dry and wet media such as pencil, crayons, pens, inks, markers, and more. With ultra-smooth white paper that provides excellent light reflection. Made from 100% cellulose fibres and acid free. This paper is also PEFC certified, which guarantees that wood is obtained in a sustainable manner only from certified EU forests.
This classic pencil was launched by Count Alexander von Faber-Castell in 1905. Its high quality and break-resistant lead has made it a firm favourite amongst artists and illustrators. The lead is fully bonded with the wood surround which aids its break-resistance and with its easy and comfortable usage it is an ideal pencil for all artistic applications. The production of this pencil also professes a carbon-neutral production as well as an environmentally-friendly water-based varnish.
