Winsor & Newton Pigment Markers

Sourcing

Some of the items used in this video are not readily available in both the US and the UK. As such, I have included some additional notes on a few of the products regarding their availability in each country.

SOURCE NOTE: These markers are not yet available in the UK. If you go to the sign-up page at http://www.winsornewton.com/uk/pigment-marker you can register to receive information on their release in the UK. 

When W&N released their watercolour markers in the UK, I rushed to Cass Art (Hampstead) and purchased a full set. When I returned to the US, no one knew what I was talking about; it was several months before they began to appear on shelves here. Until I found the W&N pigment markers at Hobby Lobby, I thought it would be necessary to wait until back in the UK to acquire a sample set.
