Recently purchased this set of watercolors. I've been lately painting with a basic set (6) colors of Daniel Smith, Dr. Martin's Hydra, and Gansi Tambi, all top notch quality watercolors.
This is the first set of dry pan watercolors I've EVER been happy with! Over the years I've tried several dry pan type watercolors, and always thought I was the problem 😅 hence the reason I ended up with the previous sets I mentioned.
Therefore I am VERY happy to report just how pleased I was with this set of Bianyo watercolors. The pigment didn't separate, they maintained consistency, and they didn't dry all chalky, as I've experienced with other brands I've tried.
I am by no means a professional watercolor artist, it is something I enjoy as a casual hobby.
After I withdrew from doing some illustration, I adopted coloring in today's adult coloring books, which I've enjoyed since 2003. Coloring books can be very tricky especially for using watercolors, due to the vast variety of paper used. Every colored pencil, marker be it alcohol, or water based, and every watercolor behaves differently depending on paper quality. The first thing I painted with these paints was an average quality, better than printer paper, and not the best. It was a smooth paper, with next to no teeth. Often times a water based medium like markers and watercolors tend to either go through the paper, or leave shadows, neither of which happened on the page I just watercolored, which is one reason I was so very pleasantly suprised.

Bianyo Classic Series Alcohol-Based Dual Tip Individual Marker For Replacement

I first began accumulating Bianyo markers( approx 2006) They are not the only alcohol marker, nor the first I've used, and own. To date I have amassed 240 colors, with 100 of those being dual/ brush tip. Not a single marker has ever gone dry, unless of course I exhausted all the ink. They have never faded. I actually prefer the ink Bianyo uses to my very expensive Prisma dual/ brush tip markers. I believe the ink in these markers is equal to both the Touch by ShinHanart,( which run at last checked 6.$per) & Copics.
Even if I wanted to buy the Shinhan, there truly is no reason when I have done side by side comparison. Why I prefer these to my Prisma's? The ink has a better transparency which allows layering and blending colors to achieve me the same results as art done in Copics. This is not just a baseless statement, I follow an artist ( Amy Shumer) on YouTube who uses and promotes Copics. I have done her art exercises using my Bianyo and I get equal results.
Now what I personally am pained by is, I am not a 'new colorist' coloring became my full-time hobby beginning in 2003.
As the coloring hobby became the pass time it is today, and with every 'new' colorist, ' how to' videos became the rage on YouTube & other social media's , with a vast variety of fresh opinions which also led to trends fueld by people without knowing better, encouraging followers to make uninformed purchases based on the one and only set of alcohol markers they've ever used...,the cursed Ohuhu's 😖 Ohuhu's were more costly than the Bianyo, and I suspect it was a case of a false belief , that because they cost more, they must be superior 😕 So...,here we are in '24' Ohuhu is today what is mostly available & sold on Amazon. I can't go into what I know about this brand of alcohol marker, all I will say is the quality or lack thereof the ink......., leaves a LOT to be desired. Which is why it pains me deeply to have watched the best/ most affordable alcohol marker get pushed aside, making now less readability available.
At the height of Bianyo's success on Amazon, more products became available, like a nice but limited set of water based markers, which I also own.
Ok the point (lol) Bianyo alcohol & water based markers are a superior brand. Today I just bought a set of watercolor paints to compare to the vast selection I'm currently using, because I feel SO confident about Bianyo brand, I expect they will undoubtedly meet my expectations.
Currently I am painting with a set of 6 basic Daniel Smith colors. I have several better than average brands to make my comparison. I apologize I got waaaaay off the subject☺️
Now that I've discovered this link, I WILL be back because I LOVE every Bianyo product I've used to date. FYI; I am a retired artist/ illustrator😉

Wonderfully clear and great gifts!

it is a gift not oped yet

I ordered the wrong marker and customer service sent me the correct one right away. Love my alcohol ink markers. I have tried other brands and Byanjo are the best.

I very excited to offer this to my daughter for Xmas. It’s exactly what she wants!

I love that I can buy just one marker to replace one from the set I bought! They last a long time and my 9 yr old granddaughter loves them!

Love your markers

I find these markers really good quality. I agree with Van though, the color on the tip of the marker doesn't really match the actual color, but I always make sure to have a test paper before drawing. Besides that, these markers are perfect! I also love how the colors are just solid when you draw and you can't really see the different layers.

Absolutely beautiful color laydown and excellent overlapping, shading, shadowing and blending of combined colors. I enjoy using these for floral scenes and plant/tree art. The brush tips make blending so effortless. I am more than happy with this purchase. These are Copic quality markers!

I enjoy coloring with these markers. The colors are saturated and vibrant. For the price, you really can't go wrong. I will continue to purchase and use these markers and would definitely recommend them to others.

When I placed my order for my items I realized that I had selected the wrong item. I immediately emailed your team and they responded with in minutes and said no problem. They changed my order to what I needed and with the price I paid gave me an extra marker to keep the balance the same. So happy and look forward to future orders. Thank you!!

Im inlove with these markers and all the products i have gotten from Bianyo

Amazing quality and excellent customer service.
