The Spectrum Noir 24 Pastel Set

After I started actually using my pigment markers by Winsor and Newton I found just how versatile markers can actually be. I have sadly bought all the lighter colours from them and I needed more variety and tones. I went on amazon and searched for pastel topics however they are insanely priced, so then I found these. These are by the brand Spectrum Noir and they are the same brand who make my pen holder, and I believe they are made for each other. You get 24 in a set which is a decent amount and I believe the price was around the £23 price mark.

I wanted to see if they go through paper as I normally use them on bristol board and not on marker paper. I tested this in my Kikki K Journal which has very thin paper and no surprise the alcohol markers went strait though however didn't transfer onto the next paper.

So, these are all the shades on slightly grey toned paper. Some of these are obviously pastel however some are bright and I personally wouldn't call these pastel. I am very happy with the set though and I am looking forward to start using them.

One thing I do have to note is that the shape is very bulky and there are rubberized parts not eh pen. This is for stability to make sure you have a firm grip. However for myself I don't struggle with grip and find holding the rubberized part disturbing.

This is my current pen set up. I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful.
