Usage Tip

• Shake each pen well beforehand and test the tip on a scrap piece of paper to get the ink flowing
  
• For broad areas or fluid brushwork: use the brush tip with light to moderate pressure; for text, details, or lines: use the fine tip

For blending or watercolor effects:

• Apply a color
  
• Immediately apply a second color next to or over the edge
  
• Take a wet brush or blending tool and spread the color or soften the transition
  
• Store pens horizontally or with the cap tightly sealed to prevent drying out
  
• Note paper choice: with increased wet/blend use, there is a chance of wavy paper or bleed-through on thin paper
