Winsor & Newton ProMarker, Arctic Blue

I bought this marker for my daughter because she loves Winsor & Newton markers and she needs brown colors. When we opened the pkg and took the lid off, the marker was broke. It also doesn’t say Winsor & Newton like all of her other new markers. This item is of course non-refundable. That’s what I get for being an idiot and buying a marker from a third party seller on Amazon.

This is a great alternative for Alta. Alta is colored ink used to color patterns on palms and feet of Indian classical ballet dancers.

Great Marker. Used for Shading. This Marker does have heavy saturation so it will bleed through thinner pages if you are not careful.

Arrived dried out.

I absolutely love these markers because the color flows, layers and goes ib without leaving streaks. I wish they lasted forever.

We were trying to get a specific marker and the picture shows the one we needed but what we got was completely wrong and different, it doesn’t even have the same name on it.

works with all my mismatched alcohol markers. really good price. When I need another I will get the brush version W&N offers.

perfect shade of red. I bought a crimson in the same brand from a hobby lobby but it was to dark. this one is just right!

I bought lots of these markers for my adult colouring books and was really pleased with them at first. There are a wide range of colours to chose from and they are streak free and layer well. I soon realised a fatal flaw though when the ink ran out fast - and I mean REALLY fast. Using them for about two hours a week I'd say they last about a month. Not good value for money at all considering they are quite pricey and not refillable. I am now using Chameleon pens and Copic Markers which are refillable and have the same great ink as Promarkers. They are more expensive initially, but when you take into account the ink refills top up the pens approximately 10-15 times each, they are much better value for money.

This was bought specifically to remove indelible ink from hard surfaces. It can also work as a blender as described of course.You will need a piece of tissue paper and just use either side on the ink you want to remove, then use tissue to remove excess, and repeat. I find sometimes the end of the nib gets a bit overinked and use the clean tissue on it too to get a clean slate for the second pass. I've only tried it on hard surfaces so unsure if can also remove from fabric but would try if ever needed as it sounds possible.

I really like these Winsor & Newton promarker pens, I have over 60 of them now and prefer them to my Spectrum markers; I always get mine from 'Artworld online' as they usually have an offer if you buy 5 pens, they come very quickly and always work well, and they have an excellent range of colours to choose from. I like them very much and am already starting to buy replacements of my favourites. [with a couple of new ones each time to make up a batch of 5]

The blender is essentially pure alcohol, and so dilutes the marker ink in the paper and allows it to blend into other inks. You need to be patient, you need to work the ink carefully, and you need to know its not magic. It works best when working on high weight card stock which can absorb the ink and take the strain. Blending windsor and newton markers is damn near impossible without it, but its not going to create a gradient without a lot of practice.I've taken off a star because it doesn't work as well as the copic blenders. But it is a heck of a lot cheaper.

Copic markers, Letraset markers, Promarkers, alcohol markers all, Whatever you call them these particular ones are great. Both ends perform well, and the range of colours it great for my illustration work. Loss one point has I feel they could squeeze a bit more ink into them. Will buy again.
