Alcohol Markers

Alcohol ink is what makes a marker blend. It carries pigment into the paper and keeps flowing for a few seconds after the stroke lands, which is the window where two colours become a gradient instead of a seam. Every AnyMark alcohol set is built on that ink and differs only in the tip you hold: a chisel and fine pair for flat fills and outlines, a brush and chisel pair for pressure-varied strokes, or the Art Coloring barrel for people who prefer their pens in black. The ladder runs 48, 60, 80, 100, 120 and 168 colours, and the ink is the same the whole way up.

Alcohol Markers is one of five shelves in the AnyMark alcohol markers catalogue, and it is kept to the same rule as the rest: what a page claims about a set comes from that set’s own specification.

Before you buy for a child

These are solvent-based, permanent markers. Paediatric guidance points parents of young children at water-based, unscented markers first, and asks for ventilation and supervision with any art material. We would rather say that here than let you find it later.
