EARTH XF

Guys these pens are amazing! I'm an artist who hates to paint. I know that's a contradiction, but it's true. I love to draw though! I was struggling to get some paintings finished (I got bored with them) when I thought I'd try paint pens - a combination of painting and drawing, right? With crossed fingers I bought these after doing some research. I already had a couple of random paint pens from 'the other guys' I'd used to sketch with and lay down outlines, but they weren't amazing and they were hard to use. However when I tried the Tooli pens I was really impressed! First of all the tips (I got all Xtra Fine) are very nice, firm, pointy, can get good detail. Very responsive. Love that they send extras! The ink flows smoothly and isn't blotchy or blobby at all (at least not yet, we will see after I use them for a while.) But what really blew me away was the colors. The black is REALLY BLACK! The 'other guys' black is about the same level as the Tooli dark gray! I mean this is super India Ink color black, really beautiful. Other colors are vivid and stay wet just long enough that you can bring in another color and blend quite well. Note that if you puddle two different colors together they will instantly combine, kind of like water colors. Be prepared for that quick bleed. I recommend these to artists who want to doodle on canvas; works great!! I got the skin tones and naturals because I do a lot of portraits and need these colors for hair, skin, shadows, plus the browns are good for any kind of nature (fur, feathers, rocks, etc). There's some awesome muted and 'soft' sorts of colors in here and they blend well; you can even smear it with your finger while wet. Note: these pens would be awesome for pointillism!

I'm an artist, and I specialize in drawing on wooden canvases. These acrylic paint pens are the best I've used so far! These beat out Posca, Primrosia, and Michael's Artist Loft brands in performance and color options. The saturation and opacity is fantastic and the paint stays wet long enough to blend if necessary, but dries fast enough that you don't have to wait forever to add layers. I love how smooth and matte the finish is, and so far, the pens haven't dried out after a few weeks of use. I'll update if they do end up drying out. And the colors are AMAZING! I have multiple set of the different color palletes and there is very little overlap between colors in different sets, which is fantastic, because I don't need multiples of the same shade. I also love that they are clearly labeled with the set name and have large numbers on the TOP of the caps, so you can easily find the right color without having to take them all out of the box. Some of the pens do put out a bit too much paint, but I haven't had a problem with big leaks like you get when you pump Posca and Primrosia pens. To help with longevity, I seal my paintings with a workable clear spray fixative. For the price, these are amazing! So far, I'm in love with this brand!

Reviewing the 36 ct Skin & Earth Tones set. I use acrylic paint pens/markers for coloring books to relax and unwind. Tooli-Art is my favorite brand so far. I love the more natural and muted color options in this set and the Southwest set that I also have because I’m a fan of nature and landscape themed coloring books. These fine tip pens work best when you use light pressure with the nib tilted at an angle rather than directly vertical, don’t color too fast, and if you clean off the nibs occasionally. Other favorite fine tips are Ohuhu and Artecho, but Tooli-Art has the best color range.

They have a workable variety of colors that are adaptable to several different objects/finishes. They are filled with a pleasing array of colors. PLUS: `Set comes with five replaceable nibs. `Good choice of colors for nature scenes, skin tones and backgrounds for small areas. `These pens are easy to prime. `The paint does not clog around the base of the barrel like some other brands do. `The color flows smoothly and evenly. `The pens also have a good longevity. I have used mine on quite a few large stones, and they are still going strong. `There are six shades of green, and a whole slew of various tones of browns and blues. Nice! MINUS: `Some of the caps are very tight fitting and are difficult to remove and replace. `The paint does not always match the barrel color. `Some of the nibs have unnecessary wiggle room...meaning they wobble when in use. TRIAL AND ERROR: `I unintentionally tried these pens on fabric. Unfortunately the paint did not wash out; therefore, I think they would be good for fabric art. `I also tried them on pages in an adult coloring book with mediocre paper. They worked well, but I did see some stroke marks with some of the lighter colors. They were also slightly scratchy. Surprisingly, there was no bleed-through. `I tried them on plastic. After completely drying, the color washed away under running water and a soft brush. `They work really well on both rough and smooth stones.

I like to use Posca pens for opaque fine accents and details (like highlights or outlines) on top of watercolor or marker drawings. Unfortunately, the Posca color range is still pretty limited and it's not the easiest thing to mix and blend paint marker colors, so I jumped at this set of beautifully subtle secondary and tertiary colors. All the pens are juicy and have good flow out of the box. I was prepared to dock a star for the pens not having any kind of color label (name or number), which would make it hard to make a swatch sheet—but then I found that the cap colors are SHOCKINGLY accurate to the paint color. No swatch sheet required! The pens also feel sturdy and well-made. I wish these came in open stock so you could replace a single, frequently used color. It does seem like you can buy single colors in packs of 4 or 5 on the Tooli-Art website, as well as replacement nibs, but they don't list all the colors yet. I've avoided acrylic pens up until now because I prefer a matte finish on my art for easy photographing, but the sheen on the paint in these pens, once dry, is pretty minor and is easy to avoid in photos. All in all, these paint pens are awesome, especially for the price!

Overall this is a nice set of acrylic paint pens for artists. I use these on paintings. I’ll definitely consider buying more, especially if they come out with more colors in the future Pros: brand has specific sets of color, it is acid-free, comes with extra nibs, the numbered design and ink level are super useful, the caps are pretty close to the actual color. Cons: The colors aren’t exactly as shown on the back of the box—they are more vivid. I was hoping for more desaturated colors as pictured

I make pyrography art on felt hats and often hand paint them. I am getting ready to add some straw hats for our summer line and of course I can’t do the pyrography on the straw so was looking for a paint pen that would save time when painting on the straw. I receive these markers and like every other art supply in my studio, I decided to test them out on a surface that probably wasn’t one the company was thinking they might ever be used on. I received an order for a hat that is usually hand painted and I thought why not try these babies out on a felt hat because if they can stand up to that they will do just fine on the straw! I was so absolutely surprised at the durability of these markers! The hand painted hats usually take me at least a day or two to get them painted but with these markers I started the hat at 8am and was done by noon!!!! Game changer for sure! For those of you who are going to ask, yes they picked up fuzz and hair from the felt. They got pretty fuzzy on the ends but not once did they stop writing or even skip. I cleaned the tips off as I went when they got too fuzzy by simply using my fingers to pull the stuff off of the tip. The next day I opened the box and started a new hat and they were not dried out and what ever fuzz was still in there did not keep them from doing just exactly what I needed them to do. I included pictures so you can see that there is a lot of fuzz on the tip and it wrote on the paper with the fuzz with no problem. If I was forced to find something bad to say about them the only thing I can think of is that they could be a little bigger to hold more paint but I don’t really think that’s something that qualifies as a complaint. And another not really complaint but something I am hoping for would be that they made a box of all of the pro colors that you could buy for one price instead of each set separately….but that’s just because I now have to have them all! lol So if you’re looking for an acrylic paint pen that will hold up to what ever you want to use it for these are worth buying! And the color choices are outstanding.

These paint pens are really perfect for detailed artwork. The paint flows nicely once shaken and pressed! This is a great selection of skin tones - I’m still experimenting with all of the colors. What would be even better is to have these pens with a medium tip! I am pretty impressed with this set!

Li ho usati su diversi materiali e risultano perfettamente coprenti; bisogna tenere presente che sulle superfici molto lisce e non porose lo strato tende a graffiarsi facilmente, come tutti gli acrilici all'acqua. Quando la punta si sporca, la tolgo e la lavo con acqua calda. Ci sono 6 punte di ricambio ma per ora non le ho mai sostituite, basta premere la punta su un cartone ondulato e non su superfici molto dure, per ar fuoriescire la tinta. Vanno agitati bene prima dell'uso (io scuoto tutta la scatola chiusa!) La gamma di colori è bellissima, comprerò anche l'altra con i colori brillanti. Prendendoci la mano si riesce a mischiare un po' i colori, su piccole superfici e lavorando in fretta. Purtroppo non c'è il nero e il bianco.

Perfeitas

Marca muy buenA

The colors are truly amazing and a great addition to my brighter color sets. I use them in my coloring books for finer detail and they blend well with my pencils and other acrylic paints. All the pens were easy to get the ink flowing from them. Highly recommended.

Hele fijne stiften zeker die met penseel punt
