Tombow Dual Brush Pens are the markers Marie Browning recommends in her book, Time To Tangle with Colors
If you haven’t seen it yet, you can watch Marie demonstrating her direct and indirect blending techniques with these pens in an excellent video here.
Tombow Dual Brush marker pens come in a variety of sets, including an enviable 96-piece professional set.
Easier-on-the-budget sets of 6 or 10 pens come in a selection of
- Pastel Colors
(shown here)
- Retro Colors
- Bright Primary Colors
- Jewel, Jelly Bean, Retro, Groovy, Grunge, Soda Shop – these sets are available on The Craft Collection
page. Bold sets are Marie’s favorites.
- Earth Colors
- Landscape Colors
- Grayscale Colors
(useful for shading).
Note that the smaller 6-pen sets don’t include the “brush pen”, aka blender, so if you want to try Marie’s techniques then you’ll need the blender brush pen included in the 10-piece sets.

When I want colour in my tangles I use Zig Clean Color pens or Derwent watercolour pencils and then smear the colour using a water brush which you can find in any artists shop, it’s just like a brush but you fill it with water.
