RuiHawk Acrylic Paint Markers, 36 Colors

For crafters, journalers, and DIY artists who want a broad pastel palette for decorating more than paper, the RuiHawk set includes 36 water-based acrylic paint markers. The flexible brush tip is designed for both small details and wider strokes.

That range of surfaces makes the set useful for projects that move from sketchbook pages to garden stones or plant pots. The trade-off: glass and ceramic pieces are hand-wash only, not dishwasher-safe.

Technical details

Each marker holds 2.6 g of ink, with a visible window to check how much remains. The brush tip ranges from 1–6 mm, and the ink is described as quick-drying, blendable, and opaque, including on black paper. It dries in about 30 seconds, once dry, it is waterproof and fade-resistant. The markers are water-based, odorless, non-toxic, and ASTM D-4236 certified according to the maker.

Numbered, color-coded caps help you find a shade without testing each marker. The set also includes two color charts, three coloring patterns, a sky-blue canvas pouch, a swatch card, and three test cards. Those extras are practical for planning a palette or keeping the markers together between projects, though the supplied patterns are a starting point rather than a substitute for a design you create yourself.

Everyday compatibility

The listed surfaces include glass, ceramic, wood, canvas, stone, plastic, metal, fabric, and paper. For a quick project, you could add pastel lettering to a journal cover, then use the same palette to decorate a smooth stone or plant pot. No primer is needed for most surfaces, but ultra-smooth glass may need light sanding or primer for better results.

Compared with a basic set intended only for paper, these markers offer more flexibility for mixed-surface crafts. If your projects focus on glassware that needs regular dishwasher cleaning, though, a different decorating method would be more suitable.

Usage tips

Use the 1–6 mm brush tip to switch between a fine line and a broader mark, and test the color on one of the included cards before committing it to a finished surface. For layering or blending, the stated drying time gives you a short wait between passes. Recap each marker within 10 minutes after use to help keep the ink fresh.

Wet paint can be wiped from skin or tables with soap and water, but that cleanup detail applies before it dries. Once dry, the ink is described as waterproof, so treat a spill promptly rather than expecting it to rinse away later. It makes sense if you want pastel markers for several kinds of craft surfaces and value having a color chart and pouch on hand. It might not be a great match if you need dishwasher-safe decoration or primarily want a paper-only marker set.

Before you decide

Can these markers be used on glass and ceramic? Yes, both are listed surfaces. Ultra-smooth glass may benefit from light sanding or primer, and finished glass or ceramic items should be hand-washed.

Do they work on dark paper? The product description says the pastel ink provides opaque coverage on black paper, though the included test cards give you a way to check a shade before starting a larger piece.

How much area does one marker cover? The stated estimate is approximately 100–200 cm² per marker, depending on use, so coverage will vary with stroke width and how much ink a project needs.

When it makes sense

Choose this set if a single palette for journals, canvas, wood, stones, or other listed surfaces fits the way you craft, and the pastel colors are central to the look you want. A paper-focused set may be the simpler choice for drawing only on pages, for reusable glassware that must go through a dishwasher, the hand-wash limitation is a meaningful reason to look elsewhere.
