What the Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor Markers (20) is

The Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor Markers come in a wallet of 20 colors. Each marker has two tips: a brush nib for all-over color and dynamic sketches, and a 1-2 mm fiber tip for outlines, detail and precise lines.

The ink is fully water-soluble, and the listing says it gives even color laydown whether you use the markers wet or dry. Faber-Castell lists the ink as highly lightfast and says it will not bleed through the paper. The markers are made in Germany.

Key features, explained

Based on the manufacturer's Amazon listing.

  • Lightfast ink

    Faber-Castell lists high lightfastness. Lightfastness is how well color resists fading in light, which matters for work you frame or display.

  • Brush nib plus 1-2 mm fiber tip

    The listing pitches the brush nib for all-over color and dynamic sketches, and the fiber tip for outlines, detailed drawings and precise lines.

  • Fully water-soluble

    The listing says the ink gives even color laydown wet or dry, so you can brush water over a stroke for a wash or leave it as drawn.

  • Will not bleed through the paper

    The listing says the ink stays on the page, which helps in sketchbooks where you use both sides.

  • Washes out with water

    The water-based ink is always ready to use and cleans up with water.

  • Made in Germany

    Faber-Castell has made art tools since 1761, and these markers are made in Germany.

Before you buy

  • For wet washes, use watercolor paper. The ink is water-soluble and needs a paper that handles water.
  • Recap the markers between sessions, as with any marker, so the tips do not dry out.
  • No water brush is listed in the box, so add your own brush for washes.
  • The fiber tip is 1-2 mm, so use the brush nib for larger areas.
