I recently purchased another set of Poetique Refillable Brush Pens -- now that I know I get get them to work in the eBrush. Life just got a little better and I'm looking forward to creating some new backgrounds with the markers and some new silk screen stencils I have sitting on the craft table.
I reached out to my contact with the company that sells the pens and learned that the company does not provide a swatch sheet for their pens. SO,...... I decided to make my own and then I won't have to figure out what colors would work best for the project being created.
You could do the same using Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets. Easy peasy and the 48 count set still fits on a single sheet of paper. I also liked the fact that I could print the template on a piece of 140 lb watercolor cold press paper (cut to US letter size) with ease using the rear tray feed on my printer.
The pens in the four trays aren't in numerical order or necessarily ordered in the same color family... so I did a bit of re-ordering by numbers with the pen color name facing up. The 48 count box has a good assortment to choose from. I am also excited to know that there are ink refills available for each of the pens. The brush nibs work really well and you can accomplish most of what you want to "paint" with this single nib.
This made it much easier to create the chart. Pen numbers and pen name are in the row below the swatch of the color. some of the colors are pretty intense and others are lighter.
Leave a comment or reach out via FB messenger if you would like a copy of the file. A swatch chart will be available for the 24 pen set shortly.
In the meantime, have a crafty sort of weekend and coming week!
