Colouring Imagimorphia with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens:
I coloured the name plate page in Imagimorphia* (US link )* using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens, using a direct to paper technique, blending with just the pens, no water. As you will see it worked fairly well in this book, with a few issues (which I was expecting).
The pens do bleed through in this book, as shown below. I was prepared for this, and chose to use them on this particular page because I have a plan for colouring the page on the other side that should cover the bleed through. Also, the page on the other side is one I was happy to sacrifice.
If bleed-through particularly concerns you, I wouldn’t recommend using the Zig Clean Color Pens or similar for colouring in this book. I find that they work nicely in the Johanna Basford books, with very minimal bleed-through if any. I definitely wouldn’t recommend using them with a water-brush in Imagimorphia.

Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens Info & Storage:
You can colour with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens * (US link *) using a few different techniques.
- Colouring as I have done in today’s video – direct to paper, blending out the darker colours using a lighter shade.
- You can also blend them using a blender pen like the Dove Blender Pen or with a waterbased glitter pen like the Wink of Stella Clear Brush Pen.
- Using a “tip to tip” method, pulling colour from the tip of a darker marker using a lighter one before colouring.
- Apply the ink to a palette and pick it up with a water brush (or a normal wet brush) to apply to the paper (click through for a blog post with video showing this technique).
I have most of the pens – I originally purchased the 60 pc set last year and have added a few individual pens since. Because I like to use these pens to colour when out and about, I store them in a large pouch originally intended for cosmetics.
The little colour charts you can see are a download from Jennifer McGuire’s blog where she also has lots of information on the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. I printed them on hot press watercolour paper and cut them so they fit neatly in the pouch with the pens.
More Adult Colouring Book Videos:
You can find a number of videos showing how I colour over on my Marker Geek Youtube Channel. All of my Colouring Book Therapy videos will be collected into my Colouring Book Therapy Playlist.
