Short answer
Artecho acrylic paint markers are mainly dual tip pens with a brush tip and a fine tip, sold in 24, 48 and 60 color sets, plus a set combining 24 dual tip colors with 36 colors of 0.7 mm extra fine pens, per the listing titles. We found no independent tests of Artecho, so treat it as a budget, many-colors option and compare it with tested brands before a big project.
Artecho acrylic paint markers: the sets
Artecho acrylic paint marker sets, from verified Amazon listing titles
| Set | Tips, per the listing title | Pens |
|---|---|---|
| 24 colors | Brush tip and fine tip | Dual tip pens |
| 48 colors | Brush tip and fine tip | Dual tip pens |
| 60 colors | Brush tip and fine tip | Dual tip pens |
| 24 + 36 combo | 24 colors dual tip plus 36 colors 0.7 mm extra fine | Two kinds of pen in one box |
The listing titles give tip types and color counts; we did not find maker specs such as exact tip widths, mechanism or paint formula on a page we could check, so we leave those out.
Who a brush and fine dual tip set suits
A brush plus fine dual tip pen does two jobs: the brush end fills shapes and makes thick-to-thin strokes, the fine end outlines and details. That combination suits:
- Coloring and illustration on paper, where brush strokes cover areas quickly.
- Hand lettering, since a brush tip gives thick downstrokes with pressure.
- Crafts on wood, card and canvas, where a big color range saves mixing.
- Gift sets, where color count matters more than proven coverage.
It suits rough stone and dark grounds less well. Brush tips wear on rough rock, and in Sarah Renae Clark’s rock tests, pump-action pigment markers held up best on rock while most direct-ink markers soaked into the stone. For those jobs, see paint pens for rock painting.
The 0.7 mm combo set
The combo set adds 36 colors of 0.7 mm extra fine pens to 24 dual tip colors, per its title. A 0.7 mm tip is the width for outlines, small lettering, mandala dots and details on small rocks. If you mainly need fine work, a dedicated fine tip set may be simpler; compare widths on the tip size chart.
How to judge a budget set before a big project
- Swatch every pen
Draw a stripe of each color on the paper or surface you will use. Cap colors are often not exact.
- Test coverage
Draw white and yellow over a dark stripe. If they look grey after one coat, plan two coats or an underlayer.
- Test the surface
Try the pens on your actual surface: wood, stone, canvas or fabric behave differently.
- Check drying
Layer one color over another after a few minutes; lifting or smearing means wait longer.
- Seal a sample
If the piece will be sealed, spray a test swatch to check the colors do not run.

Questions people ask
Which are the best acrylic markers?
In Sarah Renae Clark’s 2026 comparison, Posca scored highest overall among pump-action acrylic paint markers, with Pilot Pintor close behind. Among direct-ink and budget sets, results varied a lot by brand. The best pick depends on the surface: pump markers for rocks and dark grounds, brush tip sets for lettering and coloring.
What is the best brand of acrylic paint markers?
Posca is the benchmark in independent testing, with Molotow and Montana strong for refillable and wide tips and Liquitex for painting. Budget brands such as Artecho, Arrtx, Nicety and Pagather offer far more colors per dollar but have little or no independent testing, so results are less predictable.
Are Artecho acrylic markers good?
We cannot say from testing, because we have not tested them and found no independent review that did. The listings describe dual brush and fine tips and sets of 24 to 60 colors. Budget brush tip sets in general are good for coloring, lettering and crafts on paper and wood, and weaker on rough rocks and dark grounds than pump markers.
Is there a difference between acrylic markers and acrylic paint markers?
No. The names are used interchangeably for markers filled with water-based acrylic paint, as are acrylic paint pens. The real differences are the mechanism (pump action, direct ink or cotton core), the tip shape and size, and the paint quality, not the name on the box.
