Acrylic markers- I am a big fan! Amazon offered a 30% off coupon so I got 16 of these extra fine paint markers for $16.00. They are a great deal- you shake lightly with the cap on for maybe 10 seconds and watch the color bloom-no blobs of paint, no skips while you draw or color with them. I love that they do not have any kind of strong Metallica or chemical smell like some paint markers. The markers are made for coloring and detail. The tip of the pen is nothing but smooth and I love how they have different and rich colors that you do not normally find in paint markers. The company sent a free coloring book PDF and a user’s guide for the safe keeping of the markers. I really like this storage case that the markers were mailed in and when you open the case you get another coupon immediately. I also like how the company says it is a small one and check in with you on your purchase and the quality of their product. I would definitely recommend these and the quality of product along with the great customer service is a winning combination. Read more
I purchased these after watching a video on YouTube & I am glad that I did. As I wanted to use these to embellish my coloring book pages, and the video showed the same, I was sure these would fit the bill. Upon arrival, the first thing I saw was a nice, sturdy cardboard tube. This makes a great container to put on your desk or table. Upon opening, I found 12 individually wrapped, acrylic paint markers. I also found a 15% off my next order, but Amazon does not accept coupons. It is important to shake the marker well, with the cap on tightly, before use. First time use requires 'priming' the marker tip. This means pressing the tip up & down on scrap paper, until the paint enters the tip. You may end up with a surplus of paint at the beginning, so keep that scrap paper nearby for the beginning & subsequent use. The colors are rich. It does take a few moments for the paint to dry, when lightly applied. Be aware that drying time may be longer for heavier applications and work accordingly. I do wonder how long these would last if used for a large project, but for coloring book embellishment, I am sure that these will last some time. I found there was no odor, when using this product. If I run into any issues, I will come back to update my review. Read more

I got these initially to sign my paintings but I found the fine tip still a little broad for my liking. However, I pulled them out recently to do some fine detail work on one of my paintings and was quite pleased. So I will be buying additional colors. I find they work pretty well and don't leak like some paint markers. You do have to stop and clean the tip every so often, especially if you're going over areas that are still a little wet. It's better if you let your project dry in between layers. I've only done one heavily detailed painting so far that's 18x24, but it seems like these markers will last a pretty good while. I also use these in conjunction with my liquitex markers and they seem to work well together. Read more
I knew I'd find a use for these little gems and I quickly did. We use screen magnets to help us notice screen doors during the summer months. They were colorful when we first bought them but kind of took on a weathered look. We have a hummingbird, a butterfly, a frog and a flower. I had a great time repainting them. It was so easy. Now I hope the color fades and I have to do it each year. See the picture (I have not done the butterfly yet or the solid color hummingbird). Seriously thought we also have a phantom screen (it rolls up when not in use) and you cannot stick anything to it because it rolls up. I am thinking i can maybe paint directly on the screen! This is a great product. Read more
It was a gift. They did like it. Read more
I have been using Posca paint pens forever and love them. I read the reviews for the Acrylico paint markers and thought I’d give them a try, particularly since they were on sale. These pens are ok in a pinch. I bought extra fine and sixteen colors for finer details. My biggest complaint is that they do not have a consistent flow. With Posca pens, I could write forever and the paint flow would be consistent like an ink pen, without any puddles of paint or thinning of lines. The Acrylico pens need to be pumped each time and then the paint comes out too thin and light or too dark and thick. I have not tried any of their thicker nibs so I can’t comment on covering a larger area. I have extra fine, fine and medium Poscas and regardless of the size nib, they always perform extraordinary. The Acrylico paint seems inferior and and not as opaque as the Posca pens. The colors all seem adequate although I’d love to see a deeper red, but that also applies to Posca. They both seem to be a little too light. All in all, if you’re using these pens for fun and not for a serious art project they are fine, and since they were on sale, I will not return them, but in the future I’ll stick with Posca. Read more
