Hi everyone! Today I’ll be reviewing Lightwish Acrylic Paint Markers. These are water-based inks with a dual-tip design and a brush pen tip. When I received these markers, the first thing I noticed was how nice the carrying case was. The plastic feels sturdier, has little close tabs on the sides and top, and each marker has its individual place within the case so they do not move around. The markers easily pop out and snap back in to their spots too.

Back of package has little swatches with corresponding numbers for the colors

The back of the package has small numbered swatches that indicate the color. The number is also on the cap of the pen. The tip of the pen is a brush pen type tip which I really enjoy since this allows for both a thin and a thick line from the same marker. The caps are easy to take off and put on. They make a little clicking sound to indicate you’ve got the cap on correctly and tightly.

The colors are really beautiful. I especially enjoy the range of pinks, oranges, and purples in this set. Of course, pink has been my favorite color since I knew what colors were and in this set, 25 really catches my eye. I also really enjoy the blue-greens like 35 and 99.

At first, I thought the numbers would indicate an order the markers could be organized in and this would somehow arrange the markers by color and value. However, the numbers don’t seem to be indicating any specific order. In this picture below, 45 and 46 aren’t really close in hue or value.

I did notice some markers are more translucent and some markers are more opaque. In the example below, I used the same black marker to make the four vertical lines and then used one of the Lightwish markers on top. 34 is much more translucent. The black lines strongly show through. It is almost difficult to tell the acrylic mark is on top of the black lines. While 148 is more opaque, here it is definitely clear the acrylic is on top of the black lines. 99 and 35 are also more opaque.

Translucency test

I actually thought this difference in opaqueness was pretty cool. I’m currently learning oil painting and using transparent vs opaque oil paints. So I saw an opportunity here with these markers to try laying the more opaque ones over the more translucent ones.

With the more translucent colors, it is quite visible where the any marks overlap since the overlaps darken the color. This has potential for some cool effects and appearance of texture.

I also really enjoy the more opaque colors, they’re thick, rich, and solid.

Overall, I was very pleased with this pack of markers. I see myself reaching for them frequently, especially for my sketchbook and on the go. The sturdier case gives me more confidence taking the markers in my bag. They’ll stay in their case and won’t get lost or spill. There’s double the amount of colors since the markers are dual-tip and a great color range to suit many types of creations.
