Tombow or WHSmith Dual Brush Pens - review: half the price, but which is best for urban sketching?

I love Tombow dual brush pens for urban sketching or nature sketching, but they are REALLY expensive. So when I spotted that WHSmith do a dual brush pen, I wondered if they would be any good. They are half the price, but are they half the quality? Two artists I really admire, Ian Fennelly and John Muir Laws, both recommend the Tombow Dual Brush Pen, so I gave them a go and I love them. It's great for your initial sketch and the lines will melt away when you put watercolour on top. They are good for adding tone, without adding water - so important when working on location. And the brush pen is fabulous for window panes! You are often fighting with time when sketching, so anything which saves a bit and lets you get information down is alright with me! After a quick internet search, all I could find were reviews from calligraphers and they seemed to think the WHSmith ones were okay. In fact, more than okay. But hand lettering people don't ask the questions I need to know the answers to, so I decided to do my own comparison. As an artist, I need to know about the colour range, the blendability, transparency, light fastness. In this film I compare the two available grey sets. Costs are correct as of April 2021. I compare the colour range and how they blend on cartridge and watercolour paper, along with whether they are warm/cool and if they split when thinned with water. I won't give the conclusion away, but I think you might be pleasantly surprised! It's worth a watch if you want to save yourself some money. If you enjoyed this review, then you might like to know I do a weekly watercolour tip, trick or technique which I wish someone had told me when I started to paint. I usually post it on Sunday evening, so if you want to be kept up to date, please subscribe.
