Excellent quality. Not just for watercolour art. They are water-based brush markers which can be used for drawing, painting, calligraphy, lettering, scrapbooking, cardmaking (I'm working on being good enough at calligraphy to add sentiments directly to homemade cards without die cutting or stamping), mixed media art, or even, if wished!, general writing or note-taking. Have fun experimenting! Though not traditional watercolour paints, these Karin markers can create watercolour-like effects because the water-based ink allows blending e.g. hold two tips together, hold both markers vertically for a few seconds, and you have temporary blending - to do gradient blending, for instance - for details see the manufacturer's YouTube video "How to Use Brushmarker PRO Markers by KARIN - Color Application". The product comes with a small leaflet that also explains the blendinng methods but seeing it in moving footage with moving examples is a better idea. You can do watercolor-style, with soft edges and slight ink pooling; for blending see the paragraph above. Important not to use inferior-quality paper - not for paper that's too lightweight or too thin or you'll get ghosting, bleed-through or even tearing of the paper. You splash out on these high-quality Karin markers, so it's a good idea to invest in good quality paper too - best on coated paper/hot-pressed (extremely smooth with almost no texture or "tooth"), bristol board with vellum surface and, generally, thicker paper (160 gsm or higher). Love the integral stand. Open the shrinkwrap carefully to avoid damaging the box, then fold it as shown in the advert photo and your markers will be stored slanted. I have them on my craft desk and I'll be using them a lot simply because they're so easy to access; if I put them in a cupboard or out of arm's reach I bet I wouldn't use them as much. Unlike some marker pens it's fairly easy (though Karin could make slight improvements) to see what colour each marker is while it's in its slot in the box. This Mini set has 26 markers and a blender, enough to give a good range of colours. Colour names: Canary = yellow. Gold. Almond. Amber. Soft Peach. Orange Red. Red. Magenta Red. Cerise. Magenta. Lilac. Violet Blue. Royal Blue. Cyan. Arctic Blue. Turquoise. Lush Green. Ocean Teal. Grass. Rose Wood. Henna. Sepia. Cool Grey. Warm Grey. Neutral Grey. Black.
