Markers and felt pens

After a month long break from painting with alcohol markers I decided to grab my markers again and continue with painting i an abstract style. I tried one new thing however: instead of shading with inktense pencils I used watersoluble felt pens to add some dimension to the shapes. I kept on using mixed media paper and noticed that I had to be very quick with my waterbrush to dissolve the marks of the felt pens (in the end I had the felt pen in one hand and the waterbrush in the other hand). 

Regarding the quality of the alcohol markers I have to admit that I am not that satisfied with the Einhorn Markers I bought at TEDI. One marker actually went dry almost on the spot. Yes, they were cheap. But I also use Decotime markers from ACTION. These are also very cheap, but up to now I had no problem whatsoever with them!
