I bought the LET’S RESIN 72 brush-tip acrylic marker set to try on a real illustration, not just a swatch page. So I painted Jiji and the white cats from Studio Ghibli’s Kiki’s Delivery Service, and a small foliage study in my sketchbook. The set costs less than most big sets in my acrylic paint pen guide, but it covered cleanly and blended much better than its price suggests.
Painting Kiki’s Delivery Service with this set
I taped my paper to a wooden clipboard with Butterbear-pattern masking tape, for a clean white border at the end. The movie frame sat on a tablet behind the box.
The pastel pink sky went down first, for a calm late-afternoon light. Then the brick wall in warm browns, greys, cream and light orange, and the pale blue window frame on the right, where Jiji sits beside the small white cats.
The purple and green foliage at the top left came next. For the brick joints, eyes, noses and cat outlines I switched to a separate fine black pen. Once the tape came off, a coat of fixative spray sealed the piece.
Coverage and blending
With budget brush markers, my first worry is thin, streaky paint. On white paper these went down smoothly on the first pass.
In the Kiki painting, the foliage was the real test. I laid down a deep purple base, then painted light pink-purple flowers and two greens right over it. The lighter colors held up over the dark purple instead of turning muddy, so the leaves have a lit side and a shaded side rather than flat patches.
I tried the same layering in my sketchbook: a foliage study in four steps, with each pen’s number written next to its swatch.
- Round blobs in two blues, 608 and 650.
- Small leaves dabbed in around the edges.
- A purple and a magenta, 258 and 606, worked into the middle.
- Tiny coral and lilac flowers, 183 and 263, on top.
The next page has the same foliage, larger, with one more coral, 802. In both, the coral and lilac dots sit on top of the navy and purple and stay clear.
Ready-to-use pens still lay down a thinner coat than a pumped valve marker, so plan a second coat on dark backgrounds; see the guide’s valve vs ready-to-use section. For how acrylic markers differ from alcohol markers, see my acrylic vs alcohol markers comparison.
Colors for landscapes: pastel to deep
Many value sets fill the box with bright neons and leave you short on natural tones. What won me over here is how the 72 colors run from soft pastels to deep shadow shades.
One box gave me a gentle pink sky, earthy brick tones, a pale blue window and rich purples and greens for the leaves. That makes it an easy pick for landscapes and scenery.
The brush tip in practice
Each pen has one flexible brush tip, which LET’S RESIN rates at 1 to 8 mm depending on the angle. Laid flat, it filled the sky and the bricks quickly. Up on the point, it let me dab in small leaves and flowers.
Each cap matches the paint inside and has the color number on top.
There is no second tip. For the thin black outlines around the cats and bricks, I switched to a fine pen. If you want both nibs in one barrel, a dual-tip set like the Pagather 72 saves switching tools. Keep brush tips off rough stone or unsanded wood, which fray them fast.
The box, swatch sheet and storage
The box is lime green with a big blue cat on the lid, which also reads “Shake before use! Cap tightly after use!” The listing gives the model as LRP-3218. Inside, a printed swatch card matches each real color to its number. Painting that chart first, as I do in the unboxing video, makes picking shades by eye much faster.
The box is my one real complaint. All 72 pens sit loose in one tray, with no dividers, stand, case or spare tips. Mid-painting, the pens slide together and hunting for one green slows you down. Sort them by color family before you start, and store them flat with the caps clicked tight. The maker also sells 18, 24 and 136-count sets.
Ink flow, safety and surfaces
LET’S RESIN calls the feed automatic ink control: paint reaches the tip directly, with no pressing down, so you avoid the puddles an over-pumped valve pen can leave. Just shake each pen well first. In the maker’s words, the water-based paint is low-odor, non-toxic, quick-drying, waterproof and fade-resistant, with no paper bleed.
The listing gives the age range as 7 and up but names no safety standard. The pens do: the barrels are printed “Conforms to ASTM D-4236”, next to a warning to keep them away from children aged 0–3. ASTM D-4236 is the US labeling standard for art materials, so it covers how chronic health hazards are labeled. It is not a toy safety rating.
My painting is on paper, sealed with fixative spray. The listing also names rock, wood, ceramic, glass and canvas. Water-based acrylic grips glass and ceramic less firmly than paper, so keep decorated pieces for display, seal them, and never paint areas that touch food or lips; see the guide’s surface section and sealing notes.
Who it suits and alternatives
On a limited budget, I strongly recommend this set. It covers and blends well, and its pastel-to-deep palette suits landscapes and scenes like my Kiki painting. Plan to organize the undivided box yourself, keep a fine pen for hairline outlines, and keep it for ages 7 and up, as the listing says.
To compare it against classic valve pens, see my POSCA alternatives guide, or look at the closest brush-tip sets in my kit, the ARRTX 60 and ENMY 60.
What I liked
- Covers well for a set this cheap.
- Blends quite well: layered greens gave the foliage light, shade and depth.
- A wide range from pastel to deep shades, well suited to landscapes.
- The printed swatch sheet matches each real color to its code.
What bugged me
- 72 pens in one box with no dividers: it gets messy, and finding a pen mid-painting is slow.

Questions
Are LET'S RESIN acrylic markers good for landscapes?
In my experience, yes. The 72 colors run from soft pastels to deep shadow shades, so my pastel pink sky, deep foliage and earthy brick wall all came from the one box.
Do LET'S RESIN acrylic paint markers blend well?
Quite well for brush-tip paint markers. In my Kiki painting I layered light and deep greens over dark purple foliage to get lit leaves and shaded depth. In a foliage study in my sketchbook, small coral and lilac flowers stayed clear on top of navy and purple.
Do LET'S RESIN markers need priming or pumping?
No. LET'S RESIN uses a direct-ink feed with no valve to press down; just shake each marker well before you uncap it.
Are LET'S RESIN paint markers waterproof?
The maker calls the paint waterproof once dry. Water-based acrylic can still scuff with handling, so I seal finished pieces with a clear spray.
Are LET'S RESIN markers safe for kids?
The listing calls the paint non-toxic and gives the age range as 7 and up. The barrels are printed "Conforms to ASTM D-4236", the US labeling standard for art materials, with a warning to keep them away from children aged 0–3. That is a labeling standard, not a toy safety rating, so supervise younger children and keep paint off clothes you care about.
