About


In this class, you will learn secret tips and tricks for getting the most out of your Arteza Real Brush Pens so you can create smoother blends, sharper details, and more dynamic artwork.


By the end of this class, you will have a deeper understanding of how to control your brush pens and use them for line work, color layering, gradients, and watercolor-style effects. You will discover how to blend colors directly on paper, how to use a water brush to soften edges, and how to apply different levels of pressure for bold or delicate strokes.


We will also cover lesser-known tips like how to revive a dry pen, how to avoid fraying the brush tip, and how to create texture using flicking and stippling motions. These techniques are great for both coloring and illustration, whether you are working on lettering, characters, florals, or abstract designs.


This class is ideal for beginners and hobbyists who are still getting comfortable with brush pens. You do not need prior experience to benefit from these techniques. If you already use brush pens regularly, this class can still offer new insights to improve your results and help you extend the life of your tools.
