I order some Letraset Aqua Markers from the UK last week and they arrived on Friday. I heard about these through Suzy Blu, mixed media artist extraordinaire. They are water colour markers that act like a marker but when you add water with your paintbrush and blend them, they work like water colour paints. No mess! Neat and tidy! And, they come in gorgeous vibrant colours. I'm loving them! As Suzy said, the water colour paper you use with them is of utmost importance. She recommends a hot pressed paper, not cold pressed and in particular Arches. I found mine at De Serres Art Store. It's expensive water colour paper, but WOW, does it ever make a big difference in how the paints bleed. Love it!
these look cool... can't wait to see them IRL
