My Key Remarks about the Ecoline Liquid Watercolors

  • Beautiful, Vibrant Colors: Ecoline liquid watercolors are incredibly vivid, and the transparency allows for beautiful layering.

  • Strong Versatility: You can use them for lettering, painting, and blending. I’ve used brushes, water brushes, and even nibs dipped straight into the watercolor.

  • Smooth Flow: The consistency is perfect for brush lettering, and it glides on smoothly without patchiness.

  • Wide Variety of Colors: Ecoline offers a broad range of colors, from soft pastels to bold, intense hues. You can find the perfect shade for any project, and the colors mix well to create even more custom tones.

  • Not Fully Lightfast: The dyes used in Ecoline liquid watercolors are water-based and not pigment-based, which means they can fade over time when exposed to sunlight. This makes them less ideal for pieces that will be displayed long-term in bright conditions. However, they are perfect for sketchbooks, prints, or projects meant for indoor use or reproduction.


Are these the most versatile and user-friendly liquid watercolors? I think so! Their vibrant colors and easy blendability make them perfect for a wide range of projects, whether you’re lettering, painting, or experimenting with creative techniques.
