hi friends ♡ in this cozy paint-with-me, i’m trying out and reviewing the arrtx 60 direct ink acrylic markers while i paint a little coffee & cookies food illustration. i wanted this to feel like a warm, slow art session—just putting on some music, settling in, and building a cute spread inspired by my own photo. if you love cozy art vlogs and watching a piece come together step-by-step, this one is for you. i’m genuinely so happy arrtx released a bigger 60-color set, because having more shades makes it so much easier to keep everything soft, cute, and cohesive (especially for food illustrations where the little color shifts matter). my main takeaway is that these markers are a really fun way to get that opaque acrylic look without pulling out paint—perfect for quick layers, bold details, and tidy finishing touches. i also share links for different regions so you can find the set more easily if you’ve been curious to try them too ♡
