Have you used the Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers yet? If you haven't come across them, they are a brush pen, much like a waterbrush, but they come pre-filled with a dye-based ink. Now I bought myself a pack a few months ago meaning to do a review video, so shout if you would still like me to do one! Instead today…
