A Review of Products for Use in Bible Journaling

This is the third in a series of product comparisons.  In this review, I looked at cake watercolors (Winsor & Newton), a Sharpie fine point marker, and a Sharpie writing pen. I also tried a new product, Kirarina 2win. It has two ends, a chisel and fine tip with two shades of ink. It is also scented.

I used Prima’s Art Ingredients Clear Gesso, Ranger’s Clear Gesso, and Liquitex Clear Gesso to prepare my pages.  Click here to check out my review of these products.

On these pages I wrote blessings at the top with the Sharpie writing pen and doodled with a green Sharpie marker down the side. I used watercolor paint to create the splash of color.  I wrote Praise and doodled with three Kirarina 2win markers.

Prima (1): both Sharpie markers were easy to write with; the watercolors went on smooth and the colors were vibrant; the Kirarina 2win markers wrote smoothly.

Ranger (2): both Sharpie markers were easy to write with; the watercolors went on smooth and the colors were vibrant; the Kirarina 2win markers wrote smoothly.

Liquitex  (3): as before it was difficult to write with the Sharpie markers ; the watercolors went on okay and the colors were vibrant; it was difficult to write with the Kirarina 2win.

Naked (4): both Sharpie markers were easy to write with; the watercolors went on smooth and the colors were vibrant; the Kirarina 2win markers wrote smoothly.

Prima (1): with Sharpie writing pen there was no bleed through or ghosting; the fine point Sharpie marker has some ghosting; there was no bleed through or ghosting with the  watercolors; the Kirarina 2win did not have any ghosting or bleed through.

Ranger (2): with Sharpie writing pen there was no bleed through or ghosting; the fine point Sharpie marker has some ghosting; there was no bleed through or ghosting with the  watercolors; the Kirarina 2win did have some ghosting where the flower was drawn.

Liquitex  (3): with Sharpie writing pen there was no bleed through or ghosting; the fine point Sharpie marker has some ghosting; there was some ghosting with the  watercolors; the Kirarina 2win did not have any ghosting or bleed through.

Naked (4): with Sharpie writing pen there was no bleed through or ghosting; the fine point Sharpie marker did bleed through a little; there was no bleed through, but there was some ghosting with the  watercolors; the Kirarina 2win did have some ghosting, and where the flower was drawn there was some bleed through.
