Pastel Rainbow Blended Feather Tutorial & Parkoo Dual-Tipped Alcohol Marker Review



Today I am reviewing the Parkoo Dual tipped alcohol markers available from Amazon in an 80 pack with reusable storage case.
*This product was sent to me for review from Parkoo and Amazon affiliate links are used at no additional cost to you.

Product details: This is a set of 80 dual-tipped art markers featuring alcohol ink and bullet/fine and Chisel/broad nibs in a clear storage box..

Pros:
Price: About 40 cents a marker currently

Great selection of colors, one of the best ranges for an 80 color set I have seen including skin tones and pastels. No Duplicate or same-y colors.

Sturdy reusable clear plastic storage box with a removable divider (handy if you wanted to build a marker rack for keeping your markers in order.

Inks blend well and are on the Shinhan/Art-in-Fly refill range in case you wanted to purchase refills and I think the Arteza replacement nibs would fit these as well (Disclaimer, these are not sold as refillable but it can be done)

Also comes with an opaque silver and gold marker that appears to be waterbased (no smell)

Comes with a hex format hand color swatch chart


Cons:
Does not come with a clear blender marker

My only complaint with the range of colors is that I would rather have a couple more warm and cool greys instead of the blue-greys and green greys but that is a personal preference.

Caps do not match ink color exactly-must swatch


Bottom line:
I think this is one of the best color ranges I have seen in a budget set of 80 markers. They blend well despite the fact they do not have brush tips. I love the reusable storage and range of colors. If yu are not set on brush tips these are a great choise.
