I have been using Painters for a while now and they come in all shades, shapes and sizes. They are single tipped and I mostly use them for writing or making marks on journal pages.
I think that they are great for marking any surface, but of course you need to test them out. They are just right for my journal pages and will write on any medium placed on the page.
I would normally use them when I want to add additional marks on the page, and you can see below that playing around with your pens allows you to understand how you can utilize it to the full.
With one pen you are able to make a range of marks when you hold it at different angles.
This is another great activity for you to try when you want to just play and get to know your supplies. Watch the video and have fun with what you have and see how you can use your supplies in a different way.
My Promarker pen set has grown, I started out with the small set either 6 or 12 and then added to them over the years. This comes under my list of essentials as I use them when I want a change from using paint and other supplies.
You get a smooth finish when using them and they also come with a blender that you can use between colors. The downside that I found is cosmetic, they didn't come with the colors on the lid, and I have had to make my own, or purchase the stickers.
They also came with these stands which I didn't find very convenient as they took up studio space so I created a pen holder for myself from recycled materials.
You can check out the holder that I created out of recycled materials, and also take a look at the resources below.

I was never really a fan of Water Color pencils, and over the years explored other mediums. One Christmas my sister got me a Derwent Inktense set of 12 and I thought I would give them a go. I haven't looked back since and they are among the go-to supplies that I reach for especially when art journalling.
They are highly pigmented and vibrant and are a joy to work with. These and the Inktense Blocks are amazing. I definitely recommend that you give them a try. You can also use them on fabric which for me was an additional bonus.
Check out the video and the resources that I have listed below, you will not be disappointed.!!!
