Comments about Staedtler Marsgraphic 3000 Duo Watercolor Brush Markers:

I bought this product over 20 years ago and have been extremely happy with the range of colors, the ability to be used with other brands and the fact that they have stood the test of time, due to using them sparingly. I am a aritst/ graffiti artist and have used them for sketching and for illustrations. I have found the colors to be very vibrant, easy to blend one color to the next and the fact that the foam brush tip has held its same shape since the day I first used it. The only drawbacks I can think of with this product is that they are not for sale by color individually and that not many places carry these sets of markers. Then again its kind of an advantage considering not everyone knows about it and keeps others wondering how I have accomplished such awsesome work on paper. Know that I have finally found somewhere to buy a set, I'm a try to put some money aside and buy another large set and use it as much as possible this time.

Most responsive felt brush for fast free brush letters - have used them for years. The only negagtive is that the fine point becomes rounded too quickly and I have yet to find a way to reshape it successfully.

I use the black Staedtler Marsgraphic 3000 Duo Watercolor Brush Marker for pen & ink illustration. A professional comic-book artist and animator, who I admire, uses these exclusively. After finding out he uses these markers, I had to give them a try and haven't looked back! Due to the foam tip, they maintain a perfect, crisp line. They NEVER fray, unlike felt tip brush pens. The only way the foam tip changes is that at first the lines the brush produces are fairly large, but after only a little bit of use, the tip thins out, allowing VERY fine line drawing, but still maintaining the range of bold to thin lines. There is only one extreme drawback to these great brush pens, and that's the fact that they are extremely water-soluble, due to them being watercolor brushes, after all! That means that they bleed like crazy if they come into contact with water and they are not lightfast at all. Personally, I'm extremely excited to see them finally on the Dick Blick website and can only hope they offer them individually soon, considering that I only use the black markers.
