Tombow Dual Brush Makers have been the go-to marker for South African cardmakers and scrapbookers alike. Robyn Anderson, our local lettering expert has been twisting my arm for a while to stock the Tombow Dual Brush Markers. Having never used it before, I decided to give it a go ...
What a pleasure it was! These markers have excellent durable nibs - flexible nylon fibre brush tip on one end that creates medium or bold strokes and a fine tip on the other end for smooth straight lines or writing. The ink is water-based ink and is blendable, odourless and non-bleeding - available in 95 scrumptious colours and a blender.
I had the best results on watercolour paper, but loved the effect in my art journal with it's Modigliani 200GSM Mixed Media paper.
