Spectrum Noir Aqua Tint Pens.

Aqua Tint Pens from Spectrum Noir are filled with bright water-soluble dye-based ink, dispensed through a fine nylon brush. So they are a lot easier to use than the original Aqua Tints that came in small jars with a pipette. The pens colour can be applied as accurately or freely as you want, then blended out with water for an amazing result every time.

Being a pen with a brush nib means they are not just for colouring as you can also use them to create mixed media art with out the fuss of messy hands- unless you want too!  Making Aqua Tint Brush Pens are perfect for creating a ‘controlled mess’.

Aqua Tint’s high-grade dyes deliver bright, flawless colour that will react and disperse perfectly with water so giving use much more freedom.
