Direct application: Draw directly on your watercolor paper using the markers and can use them as you would any other marker for bold, vibrant lines. Water Blending: After applying marker to the paper, use a wet paintbrush or a water brush to go over the markings. This will diffuse the ink, creating a watercolor effect. Gradient Effects: Apply one color and then quickly blend into another color while both are still wet, either directly with another marker or using a brush with water. This can create beautiful gradient transitions.
