Review on 🎨 Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor Markers - 30 Assorted Colors - Versatile Artists' Art Markers by Tanya Jenkins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Amazing markers but no quality control for the price

I want to start by saying these are REALLY good markers for the job and the shipping from the seller was very fast. These markers ensure rich, beautiful colors on high-quality watercolor paper. Some colors are just breathtaking. The app is really good; directly on paper or with brush and water (basically how I used them). problems; A few markers are leaking and one has a broken cap so I have to use it without the cap on or risk cutting my hand. Nothing will stop me from using them but wanted to report this in case others are having similar issues. A bit disappointing considering how great the markers are and how expensive they are. When I first uncapped the ultramarine blue it was all over me and on my sketchbook. There was quite a bit of ink in the cap and bubbles around the tip. Luckily I opened the rest more carefully because 3-4 other markers had similar problems. Not sure how much this leakage around the base of the clip affects the durability of the markers? Already lost some ink. As I mentioned above, one lid was also cracked/broken and no parts were missing from the box. I have to assume these are all manufacturing issues as there was no damage to the product and shipping boxes. Hopefully they can fix those issues otherwise they're really fun markers.

Pros
  • markers
Cons
  • are embarrassing
