ARTISTRO6 Gold & Silver Paint Pens - 0.7mm Extra-Fine Markers - Great for Greeting Cards, Ornament Decor, & More

Both colors covered beautifully.

My review: I LOVE these markers! They arrived yesterday (very fast through Amazon Prime). I have tested them out and think the overall quality is excellent! These metallics have a nice shine without a terrible odor (most oil based markers have a headache-inducing smell). Not these! The packaging is nice and professional-looking. These are reminiscent of something that would be sold on the shelves in a Michaels store. In my spare time, I paint Christmas ornaments. They work excellent on glass bulbs! I also tried them on wood and canvas! I prefer Artistro to Posca markers (in terms of both quality and price). My only wish is that the “metallics” would come in more colors. I would definitely buy a full spectrum set of metallic colors (if they came in metallic red, orange, green, blue, copper, etc). I also use the Michaels craftsmart brand of paint markers, which are similar in quality (and a bit lower in price than Artistro). However, I prefer Artistro for fine details because they have smaller tips. They also have a nice flow. They occasionally clog, but can easily be cleared by pumping the tip on a scrap piece of paper. They are rich in color/pigment! I only wish there were more metallic colors to try!

They worked perfectly and wrote smoothly.

First of all when I first received them I thought the packaging was nice. I love the way you have like Zentangle on the boxes. When I open them up i noticed they were individually wrapped in plastic which is good in case they leak for whatever reason the plastic was very easy to get off and I was surprised with that because I've got no vision up close and I was thinking too I'm not going to be able to see it to do it but I did was easy the presence of the markers were very attractive and pleasing to the eye I really liked how the gold was the marker the bottom of the pin it's different than that then the silver one when other pins they seem to have like all black but you just got to look at the lid and sometimes they're not even labeled so this was very easy to differentiate between each other and when I mix the paint I did have not at first when I first did my rock and I press the the pin down to prime it I had no issues with it at all when I came back to use it the second time I did that I had a puddle of the paint on a piece of paper when I primed it was about the size of a nickel that I did the Gold and the gold did the same thing so you could really go through the paint which is a negative I don't know an easier way I mean to say that but didn't like it I didn't like that it came out because I'm afraid now do you know that if you do it too much going to lose all your ink I was painting on a rock and it turned out just beautiful I loved how it was a nice steady stream of color it looks like satin and there was no smearing there was no I mean it dried real fast the colors are vibrant it almost looks like when you emboss a card or something that I really really like the silver and gold I love it I love it both the gold and silver were easy to use and no time wasted priming I've had some were you just wait and wait and wait but they were very easy by the time I got done mixing they were already done it's just I just thought the whole thing was very easy and a delight to use.

These markers are perfect for small projects and are beautiful colors. They work very well and apply excellent coverage. Would highly recommend them! Dries very quickly too.

Nice flow

Once you can actually activate them, the fine tip looks nice.. It takes forever to activate them which is annoying. I also don't know if I trust them yet to write all the way through a word without spotting. I will update my review when I try a couple crafts with them.

The metallic ink flows readily - no clumping. You can vary the width of the line by changing the angle of the tip to the surface of the paper. I use these pens for Zentangle paintings and they work great. Wish they had them in copper.
