As you know, I purchased a one-year subscription to Scrawlr Box — an art supply subscription box out of the UK. Each month I open the box and share my first impressions with you. These are my personal opinions about what works for me and what doesn't. I hope you find the video useful and entertaining!
Here's a list of the box contents with links to purchase:
- Daler Rowney Mixed Media Art Boards
- Derwent Colour Line Maker
- Zig Vellum Twin Marker (link takes you to an orange marker, I couldn't find black)
- Molotow One-4-All Acrylic Twin Markers
- UNI Signo Broad White Pen
Here's the piece I made during the video:
In the video, I mentioned that (a) I really wanted some wet media and (b) I really wanted pink or red. So, I added a bit of watercolor and here you go:
I like it a lot more after adding the color. What do you think?
Also, I wanted to add two notes to the video after using the watercolor:
- The mixed media board was really great with watercolor. I liked it a lot more once I experienced using it with a very wet medium. I would even consider buying some now that I've seen how it's different from paper.
- I noticed that the Scrawlr Zine calls the board "multi media board," but the contents card has the correct title of "mixed media board." I then went online to look at the actual product listing and the manufacturer does call it "mixed media board." So it looks like some sloppy copy editing by Scrawlr Box.
Thanks for stopping by!
I’m curious about the Zig marker being “for vellum.” Did you try it on vellum? Did it behave differently than other markers on vellum?

Hi Julie, Great Demo! FYI your link for the UNI Signo Broad White Pen doesn’t work (at least on my computer).

I did not try it on vellum. I don’t use enough vellum to make a specialized vellum pen worth anything to me.

I use the Molotow Dual Tip All in One Markers all of the time. I have a full set. I love them, but I really love Molotow’s empty markers (the 15mm is great for large pieces) because I can use Golden High Flow Acrylic paint (or fluid paint with high flow medium) in them. They are great and the nibs are almost indestructible.

Did you try the other side of the board with any of the supplies? I hope Uniball Signo makes the size of the tips easier to find and read than the ones I have but I’ve found that the broader tips seem to work better and take less “encouragement” than the finer ones. When the smaller tips don’t produce ink, I just touch them to the back of my hand and the body heat seems to start the ink flowing again. Thanks for another fun video — and that pop of red was the winner!

I didnt. I figured that if they didnt say there was a right side then it didnt matter. But I should probably give the other side a go in the name of science!

I liked the pink/red watercolor addition; it makes the piece. How would you compare the Molotow All 4 One paint pens to posca? I have posca’s but I never can decide if I like them.
