Tombow recently unveiled its updated Dual Brush Pen 10-pack color palettes, revealing a fresh new look and feel for its flagship product. Based on consumer feedback, Tombow added a tenth color to each set, replacing the Colorless Blender. Since these water-based art markers are blendable, each set can create more than 50 different colors by blending the ink.
Each Dual Brush Pen 10-pack now features new packaging artwork by artist and Tombow Senior Brand Ambassador Erin McManness of Paper Raven Co. Inside each set is a step-by-step blending tutorial to help consumers achieve an effortless looking blend with the markers. The back of the packaging lists each color included in the set, along with inspiration for hand lettering, watercolor and illustration artwork unique to each palette’s color range.
Tombow sought out to build a story around each set, making it easy for consumers to see how they could incorporate each palette into their art and craft projects. Find out more about each updated set below.
