The Acrea Paint Marker is the latest in the Copic line-up. A fully opaque marker filled with water-based paint, it's been designed to appeal to those who prefer the flexibility of water-based markers but who love the reliability that Copic offers. Its name is a combination of 'aqua' and 'create'. Available in a wide range of colours, including pastels and metallics, the Acrea is waterproof, non-toxic and odourless. The colours are also lightfast when dry, and offer a seamless, streak-free result. The barrel is a matt white, with the cap inlay and barrel band indicating the colour of the ink. The sturdy tip is ideal for both writing and illustrating, and will produce a line width of between 0.8mm and 1.2mm, depending on pressure applied and the surface it's used on. It's able to withstand use on a wide range of surfaces, including paper, card, stone, plastic, metal and glass. Colours can be wiped from non-porous surfaces. Can be used with Copic alcohol-based markers to add flourishes and detail. Shake before each use and pump the nib to encourage ink flow. Cap securely after use.
