Ooly Chroma Blends: Aquarel Penseelstiften (set van 18)

The brush tips are soft enough for fine lettering but can also lay down a wide wash when you press harder, which is exactly what I wanted for card making. Blending two colors together with a little water gives a real watercolor look without dragging out my paint set.

I've been leaving these in my work bag for lunch break sketching, and the colors blend straight off the brush tip with just a little water. The 18 shades give me plenty of range for quick wash backgrounds or finer lettering.

The blending on these is unreal — just touch the tip of one marker to another and you get a smooth gradient without any water. I use them for quick cards and sketching on the couch, and 18 colors is plenty to work with.
