ARTISTRO 42 Acrylic Paint Pens, Art Set Acrylic Markers for Textile, Canvas, Rock, Glass, Wood, Paper, Pumpkin, DIY, Paint Markers for Kids and Adults

So first off: Great Pens! A lot of fun and easy to use! But I'm not here to sell you these pens, instead if you are interested in buying these extra-fine tip paint pens like I was, you may be wondering 'what set should I get?' Well, let me help!I will go over which extra-fine tip sets have which colors and their overlaps, as well as the odd choice Artistro has made in naming the same color twice for two different sets (maybe their hoping you'll buy the same product twice?).Firstly, if you want all the colors (not including the extra metallic colors from the metallic set, and the glitter colors from the glitter set) then all you will need is the 42 box set! It's generally priced around a little more than a dollar a pen, which is a pretty good deal. I have shared a picture of the colors listed on the box for your reference as well as a picture of all the pens lined up in the same order.Next, you may notice the third picture I've shared is also pen colors from the side of a box; it is the 30 box set. Strangely enough these would appear to be very different colors! Oh, but not so! Almost every single "additional" color here is just renamed (I happen to like the majority of these names better, by the way) without an actual new addition to be found. (Also I'm not sure if the print settings were off when the packaging was produced, but their color swatches are very different.) So below is a list of the 30 colors from the 30 box set and their corresponding twin from the 42 box set:30 box set 42 box set1. Chartreuse = Bud Green2. Spring Lemon = Yellow3. Sunburst Yellow = Orange Yellow4. Coral Orange = Orange5. Scarlet Red = Red6. Wine Red = Purple Red7. Pale Pink = Sakura Pink8. Pastel Violet = Light Purple9. Light Violet = Purple10. Violet = Dark Purple11. Indian Blue = Blue12. Sky Blue = Sky Blue13. Light Turquoise = Shallow Green14. Spruce Green = Dark Green15. Walnut = Brown16. Putty = Tan17. Light Cream = Cream Yellow18. Pale Yellow = Khaki19. Gold = Gold20. Cool Gray = Cold Grey21. Warm Grey = Dark Grey22. Silver = Silver23. White = White24. Black = Black25. Turquoise = Jewel Green26. Emerald Green = Green27. Vivid pink = Pink28. Baby Blue = Brilliant Blue29. Extra White = Extra White30. Extra Black = Extra BlackSo, if you are curious to know which other colors are actually in the 42 box set, but maybe don't want to do the work of searching and cross-checking the two pictures I provided, I will list them here:31. Fluorescent Yellow (yup, that's what it is)32. Emerald Green (it's brighter than the "Emerald" Green from the 30)33. Melanie (it's a greenish blue-green color despite being named weird)34. Sapphire (a little brighter than Sky Blue)35. Purple Stars (blue-violet)36. Pigeon Blue (a dark grey blue)37. Tawny (a mix of orange and tan)38. Camellia Red (a bright red, almost pink)39. Dream Purple (a little warmer and darker than Light Purple)40. Bright Pink (more natural in tone than Pink's neon look)41. Run Red (it's a light orange cream color)42. Pale Pinkish Grey (terrible name; it's very similar to Run Red, a little less bright)So, if you got the 30 box set and you decided you wanted the colors you are missing out on from the 42 box set, is there a way to get them without buying duplicates of all your 30 colors? Yes! Almost. Minus one: Fluorescent Yellow. The 15 box set called "Special Colors" here on Amazon, but labeled "Trending Colors" on its package actually has all your remaining colors needed sans that super bright yellow. You'll also get repeats of Chartreuse and Sunburst Yellow, as well as the ever-present White and Black. So not a bad buy if you just want to expand from your 30 box set.But maybe you're like, 'I just want some basic colors, why have you been wasting my time with all these fancy color names?' Well, you probably should just get the 12 box set then. It's very basic. It has Black, White, Gold, Silver, Pink, Dark Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Brown. Have fun!

Bought the 42 piece "extra fine tip" set for a project and they worked beautifully! Very happy with the pen's overall performance.I drew/painted some little rubber rain boots. The boots, unfortunately, did not stay painted for long. After the first wear, the paint ended up cracking off. I did some research before hand and thought with all the steps I took that it would last longer but it did not.Regardless, that's not a fault of these pens but of the fact that rubber is too flexible to be painted with acrylic paint. Rubber bends and moves too much so that's why the paint cracked and chipped. I'm going to try these pens out with canvas slip-on shoes and see how that goes. I'll try and provide an update later on that.In the meantime, I leave a 5 star review on these. Working in layers, the colors build wonderfully, I was most impressed with the white pen as it has a very strong opacity so all I needed was 2-3 layers to get the coverage I was looking for.The paint dries to an almost matte-like finish. The tip on these pens is similar to a fine tip sharpie. It's almost like working with a sharpie but the dry time is not as quick (obviously). Maybe a minute or two for it to fully dry enough to add the next layer.Because I was working with rubber, if I made a mistake I could just use some rubbing alcohol to clean up the mistake easy-peasy without any problems. The paint did not stain the boot or anything like that.While I was drawing/painting, I did have to pump and shake the pen often for more paint to release from the chamber, but that is the case with most paint pens, and was what I expected when I bought these.I'm also happy that they give you 2 black pens and 2 white pens as those 2 colors are what I use the most for my projects.If there is one complaint that I do have, it's that there is only one red pen out of the whole set. No other shade of red is provided which meant I hade to dig out my tubes of red acrylic paints and brushes in order to get the darker shade of red you see on the rocket. It's not that big of a deal, but it's something I noticed that could be improved. There is a surplus of blues, however, so if you have a blue based project then this is the pen set for you lol.

I use these to paint rocks. They dry very quickly. Don’t smear. The colors are awesome. I love these paint pens. Great quality for a lower price than other brands.

Happy with the purchase 60 colors this would be a good set for someone who is just starting out with paint pens I use paint pens as I'm sure most people reading this review for my hachette heroes cbn books I have all the tooliart sets and I do think they are the better paint pen but this set was a nice addition to my collection and you do get a good variety of all colors you would need for a 60 set they did a nice job to provide a good color selection I like the design of them and they are numbered which is much appreciated one of my biggest pet peeves is when brands don't number or name there product I would purchase these again I think

The ARTISTRO 42 Acrylic Paint Pens are fantastic! The vibrant colors flow smoothly, perfect for both beginners and experienced artists.

If you want to unleash your creativity, this set is a must-have! Two thumbs up for ARTISTRO! 🎨✨

Worth the money. Good quality. Great for acrylic work.

Awesome paint markers for banners! Minimal bleeding and not a lot of ink being used, I forsee these being used a lot. Now I just need them in a thicker point!! Awesome colors and they all appear very well on paper like the one in my picture.
