Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These markers work well if you use good quality paper, but work poorly on lower-quality paper. I purchased them to use plein aire with my Daler Rowney Cachet Travel Sketchbook, which has 120 pound pages and usually accepts watercolor well. These markers felt like Crayola markers on this paper. I could not manipulate the color at all. The reviewer who called them "just another marker" must have had a similar experience. However, I tested them on 140 pound Strathmore paper, and I had a completely different experience. The colors liquefied as soon as water was added and were easily manipulated. The product description for these markers does recommend you use the WN water color paper, and yes, you definitely do need to use them with a decent-quality paper. I have included an image showing Daler Rowney 120 pound paper on the left and Strathmore 140 pound paper on the right.
