Colour that behaves like watercolour
The clever part of this set is the Dual Brush Pens: their water-based ink can be laid down as marker, then pulled out with the water brush into soft, watercolour-like washes. You get the portability of pens with the look of paint — no palette, no water pot full of brushes.
Chosen for the street
The colours are picked for urban scenes: an ochre and dark green for buildings and trees, a redwood for brick and shadow, gold and violet pencils for light and depth. Draw your lines with the 005 pen, add colour, blend with water
Honest Note:
Who is it For?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)
Is this the same as the European Urban Sketching Set?
No — the European set has different contents (including an ABT PRO marker and Irojiten pencils). This is the Japanese Edition.
Do I need a water pot?
No — the water brush holds its own water. A collapsible cup like the Clic & Go is useful for cleaning the brush between colours.
What paper should I use?
A mixed media or watercolour-friendly paper, such as the Fabriano 1264 Mixed Media pad
