Winsor & Newton Water Colour Marker You won't find another markers quite like these ones - we decided to get creative and make water colour in pen-form. Blending varies depending on the paper you use, but they're designed to make gorgeous washes when combined with water. Because they have dual nibs, you can also use them for fine details and sweeping line thicknesses. To see them at their best, always use them with our Winsor & Newton Water Colour Marker Pads.
Twin-tip water color markers by the trusted firm of Winsor & Newton are made in France to exacting requirements. Each pen has a fine point tip on one end and a flexible brush tip on the other end. The colors are bright, lightfast and highly pigmented.

The bodies of Winsor & Newton Watercolor markers are very similar to the Aquamarkers. I wonder if there's just a manufacturer who produces the marker bodies and sells them wholesale to marker companies, as I see repeat bodies A LOT when testing marker brands.
The tips are pretty similar to the Aquamarkers, except the brush tip is much less flexible.
As you can see, there's a pretty dramatic difference in color between the brush and bullet ends. I'm not sure what causes this (maybe the pigment granulation), but it's definitely something to be aware of. The Payne's Gray from the Bullet end is almost as blue as the indigo from the brush end, and the indigo from the bullet end is almost an ultramarine. On the bright side, it's like getting two colors for the price of one.
Not all colors release pigment equally. The greens, indigo, and Payne's Gray are easy to disperse with watercolor, but the Pale Rose requires some rubbing. None of the colors tested so far display any color split when water is added, which is nice.
The colors remain wet and easily blended on the page since the markers are waterbased, rather than being alcohol based. If you're used to doing watercolors, this shouldn't be an issue, as you'll be used to waiting for paint to dry, but if you're used to markers, please keep in mind that there's a longer drying time.
For the greens, indigo, and Payne's Gray I bought, I'm really impressed with how nicely the pigment disperses, and how well the colors interact. 
Winsor & Newton watercolor markers don't come with a blending marker, but it's easy enough to blend two colors. When blending colors, make sure you clean your nibs afterwards by marking it on a scrap piece of paper until the other color is fully removed.
These markers blend readily with water while still wet. I'm not sure if they can be reactivated once left to dry.
