Realbrush Pigment and Metallic single markers – Karin

Karin Realbrush Pigment & Metallic Markers

The Karin Realbrush Pigment and Metallic markers combine the precision of a brush with the richness of artist-quality pigment. Each marker is filled with water-based, opaque ink designed to perform on almost any surface; from paper and wood to glass, plastic, and fabric. With their flexible brush tips, they glide effortlessly, creating everything from delicate lines to full, painterly strokes.

The Realbrush Pigment range delivers bold, lightfast colours that behave like acrylic ink in a marker form. Once dry, they become waterproof and permanent, making them ideal for mixed media, illustration, journaling, and custom artwork that lasts. Whether you’re building smooth layers or adding expressive texture, these markers offer full coverage and lasting vibrancy.

The Realbrush Metallic range adds a shimmering twist. Each metallic marker produces a bright, opaque finish that shines beautifully on both light and dark surfaces. Perfect for highlights, accents, lettering, and decorative work, these markers bring a touch of luxury to cards, artwork, and objects.

Both ranges share the same precise nylon brush tip. Durable, responsive, and capable of fine detail or broad strokes. Together, they offer a complete toolkit for artists who love strong colour, fluid movement, and versatility.
