Dual tips solve the constant switching problem between detail work and color application. LYRA Aqua Brush Duo Markers combine a flexible 4mm brush tip for expressive strokes with a precise 2mm fiber tip for clean lines, both ends drawing from the same water-based ink reservoir. This eliminates color-matching guesswork when moving between techniques and keeps your workspace manageable.

The brush tip responds to pressure and angle like traditional watercolor brushes, enabling varied stroke widths and gestural marks. Apply color directly, then activate with a wet brush for transparent washes and soft gradients. The water-based ink lifts and blends readily, supporting wet-into-wet techniques and color transitions that mimic pan watercolor behavior. Layer dried applications to build depth, or work back into wet areas for atmospheric effects.

Durable fiber tips maintain their shape through repeated use and water manipulation. Bright, saturated pigments deliver intensity straight from the marker, then transform into luminous washes when diluted. The fine tip handles lettering, contour drawing, and detail work that stays crisp even when surrounded by activated washes. Sketch artists working in journals and illustrators building color studies gain watercolor flexibility without managing palettes and rinse water.
