What the ARTEZA Real Brush Pens (96 Colors) is

The ARTEZA Real Brush Pens are a 97-piece set: 96 water-based pens with flexible nylon brush tips and 1 water brush, in a box with four trays. The range covers brights, pastels, earth tones, greens, blues, grays and deep shades, so you can usually reach for a close color instead of mixing.

The nylon tip responds to pressure like a small paintbrush rather than a hard marker nib. A light touch gives outlines and detail, and pressing down gives broad fills and thick-to-thin lettering. Used dry, the ink behaves like a marker. With the water brush, it blends and softens into light washes.

Key features, explained

Based on the manufacturer's Amazon listing.

96-color full-range palette
Brights, pastels, earth tones, greens, blues, grays and deep shades give a broad light-to-dark range for building depth in detailed illustrations.
Flexible nylon brush tip
The tip responds to pressure, so one pen gives both fine outlines and thick strokes for lettering.
Dry or with water
Straight from the pen, the water-based ink lays down with marker-like control. The included water brush blends two colors, softens an edge or turns a stroke into a wash.
Four-tray storage box
All 96 pens and the water brush sit in four trays, so the full color range stays visible and easy to reach.
