ARTISTRO 12 Acrylic Paint Pens for Calligraphy – Markers With Medium Precision Tips – Multisurface Painting for Fabric, Rock, Glass, Wood & More

So first off: Great Pens! A lot of fun and easy to use! But I'm not here to sell you these pens, instead if you are interested in buying these extra-fine tip paint pens like I was, you may be wondering 'what set should I get?' Well, let me help! I will go over which extra-fine tip sets have which colors and their overlaps, as well as the odd choice Artistro has made in naming the same color twice for two different sets (maybe their hoping you'll buy the same product twice?). Firstly, if you want all the colors (not including the extra metallic colors from the metallic set, and the glitter colors from the glitter set) then all you will need is the 42 box set! It's generally priced around a little more than a dollar a pen, which is a pretty good deal. I have shared a picture of the colors listed on the box for your reference as well as a picture of all the pens lined up in the same order. Next, you may notice the third picture I've shared is also pen colors from the side of a box; it is the 30 box set. Strangely enough these would appear to be very different colors! Oh, but not so! Almost every single "additional" color here is just renamed (I happen to like the majority of these names better, by the way) without an actual new addition to be found. (Also I'm not sure if the print settings were off when the packaging was produced, but their color swatches are very different.) So below is a list of the 30 colors from the 30 box set and their corresponding twin from the 42 box set: 30 box set 42 box set 1. Chartreuse = Bud Green 2. Spring Lemon = Yellow 3. Sunburst Yellow = Orange Yellow 4. Coral Orange = Orange 5. Scarlet Red = Red 6. Wine Red = Purple Red 7. Pale Pink = Sakura Pink 8. Pastel Violet = Light Purple 9. Light Violet = Purple 10. Violet = Dark Purple 11. Indian Blue = Blue 12. Sky Blue = Sky Blue 13. Light Turquoise = Shallow Green 14. Spruce Green = Dark Green 15. Walnut = Brown 16. Putty = Tan 17. Light Cream = Cream Yellow 18. Pale Yellow = Khaki 19. Gold = Gold 20. Cool Gray = Cold Grey 21. Warm Grey = Dark Grey 22. Silver = Silver 23. White = White 24. Black = Black 25. Turquoise = Jewel Green 26. Emerald Green = Green 27. Vivid pink = Pink 28. Baby Blue = Brilliant Blue 29. Extra White = Extra White 30. Extra Black = Extra Black So, if you are curious to know which other colors are actually in the 42 box set, but maybe don't want to do the work of searching and cross-checking the two pictures I provided, I will list them here: 31. Fluorescent Yellow (yup, that's what it is) 32. Emerald Green (it's brighter than the "Emerald" Green from the 30) 33. Melanie (it's a greenish blue-green color despite being named weird) 34. Sapphire (a little brighter than Sky Blue) 35. Purple Stars (blue-violet) 36. Pigeon Blue (a dark grey blue) 37. Tawny (a mix of orange and tan) 38. Camellia Red (a bright red, almost pink) 39. Dream Purple (a little warmer and darker than Light Purple) 40. Bright Pink (more natural in tone than Pink's neon look) 41. Run Red (it's a light orange cream color) 42. Pale Pinkish Grey (terrible name; it's very similar to Run Red, a little less bright) So, if you got the 30 box set and you decided you wanted the colors you are missing out on from the 42 box set, is there a way to get them without buying duplicates of all your 30 colors? Yes! Almost. Minus one: Fluorescent Yellow. The 15 box set called "Special Colors" here on Amazon, but labeled "Trending Colors" on its package actually has all your remaining colors needed sans that super bright yellow. You'll also get repeats of Chartreuse and Sunburst Yellow, as well as the ever-present White and Black. So not a bad buy if you just want to expand from your 30 box set. But maybe you're like, 'I just want some basic colors, why have you been wasting my time with all these fancy color names?' Well, you probably should just get the 12 box set then. It's very basic. It has Black, White, Gold, Silver, Pink, Dark Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Brown. Have fun!

Great paint pens and a wonderful value. Love the bonus case with this order!

The Artistro 30 fine tip paint markers come in a very nice box with a metal clasp.The box is lovely and makes a good place to store them on my desk. Upon opening the box, the markers are labeled on the caps with a number which corresponds with a color chart on the back of the box, which I find makes it easy to find the exact color I’m looking for. I also really like that it comes with an instruction card and two replacement nibs. The paint markers come in a nice variety of colors including pastels, neons, skin colors, and metallics. I really like the variety of colors in this set. The one critique I have about the colors would be that 41 and 55 (beige and coral pink) look like they may be mislabeled as 55 looks more beige and 41 looks more coral. Also the pastel purple doesn’t really look pastel to me, and the fuchsia is really a dark pink. Other than that, the colors are beautiful and looked great when I made a swatch of all the colors. The pens were really quick to prime. I worked on a few different projects to test them out, wood slice ornaments, rocks, and a canvas painting. I did have a couple problems which may be due to being new to paint pens. Since they are fine point they are great for details, not so much for coloring in large areas. I noticed after using them for the second or third time that while some of the pens remained opaque, others became watery and needed to be shaken quite vigorously to get paint to go on better. I do have a set of 15 medium tip Posca pens I bought shortly before these. In comparing the two, Posca does have better coverage and opacity, especially over black. However, the Artistro is a great choice considering the variety of colors and how many markers you get for the price compared to Posca. The Artistro 30 set was about $38 vs. $30 for the 15 set of Posca. I had a lot of fun drawing with them and experimenting on different surfaces. I think this set, combined with the cute box, and the variety of beautiful colors, would make a great gift for any level artist and I would certainly recommend them!

Painted a garden hat as a gift for my green-thumb daughter. The pens are so easy to use, which is appreciated as I am a lifelong artist who has gotten incapacitated through years. Sitting at a table for any length of time is a no-no. With these little paint dispensers I was able to work from my recliner and still accomplish pretty close to what I had in mind. The paint soaks into the fabric at first, until a layer dries and seals, then layering colors is far easier. It took several coats of paint to get the lighter colors to show up as the accents I wanted. I will definitely use this product again for similar hat projects, but have learned from this first one. In future, a coat of clear acrylic gesso or a layer of background color will be painted on first, let dry, then go for the art work. ... I'm back today to buy a larger set of Artistry pens with fine points and more colors. I was frustrated by the lack of variety of color in this set... only one green and no light blue or violet, for instance. Otherwise, excellent. Update: Also painted a garden hat for myself.

They’re amazing omg and have really good coverage 🙂‍↕️

I wish I had these in every color. So easy to use and vibrant. The draw back is they don’t last long. But they look great on canvas and don’t smear. I use them if I need outline work on my paintings.

Worked wonderful.

Nice acrylic pens

Jag använder den här typen av pennor mest för highlights. Använde tidigare Posca som ska vara bäst, men jag tycker att den vita färgen här täcker bättre än Posca och har en bättre spets. Bättre kontroll. Har rekommenderat den på sidor för tecknare

The pigment content of these marker pens must be very high because the paint is so rich in colour when I applied paint to my resin sculpture. I like the fact that controlling the amount paint flow onto the object whether thin lines or thick is so easy. A bonus was the good quality presentation case they came in which will last for years. My teenage granddaughters are green with envy so it looks as though I will be buying them each a set for their birthdays.

簡単に色がつけれて、嬉しいです。 ありがとうございます。

Pennarelli veramente ottimi e ben fatti. Lasciano una posa perfetta e uniforma sulla carta o su altri materiali. Li abbiamo usati sulla plastica, vetro, jeans, cartone, legno. Ogni volta abbiamo ottenuto sempre dei colori vivaci e brillanti. La marca anche se sconosciuta replica perfettamnte il prodotto più blasonato in commercio ma dal costo esorbitante. In poche parole è inutile comprare pennarelli UNIPOS..A, costano parecchio e su Amazon si trova lo stesso prodotto, di marca diveresa, a prezzi decisamente molto più abbordabili e dalla resa fantastica.

Merci bcp. Belle de ouverte.
