I am so glad to be able to watch that workshop! What fun!
How do these compare to the Pitt Brush Pens, the Dual Markers and the AD Watercolour Markers? Which is your favourite? Thanks
Hi Claire – these are like Tombow. comparison with AD mwatercolour markers here https://www.lizsteel.com/australianarchitecturewatercolourmarkers/. I find the GFA are easier to use that the watercolour markers.
Pitts are permanent and I love them too – but just different usage. Seem more here: https://www.lizsteel.com/tag/pitt-pens/
