This time, I want to describe the best art supplies by Arrtx. This brand is known for making high-grade and affordable markers, which can be used as a decent alternative to those offered by more expensive brands. Other art supplies released by this company are also worth mentioning. In my Arrtx review, I’d like to present 2 more products manufactured by this brand.
Who Are Arrtx?
Arrtx is a young company established in 2015 and located in Guangdong, China. It is specialized in the production of drawing materials like markers and paint pens. The brand is growing very fast and has already spread to Europe and North America. It is obvious since the company makes quality products with an innovative design, sells them at competitive prices, and offers awesome after-sales service.
Arrtx Brand Assortment
Since the brand is new, its product assortment doesn’t include a variety of art supplies and materials, besides Arrtx mainly focuses on manufacturing markers. Aside from drawing tools, it makes and distributes gouache paint sets, sketch pads, mix-media pads, masking tapes, and reticules.
The company releases markers in fantastic shade selections with color chips on each end. The sets enclose color charts and are packaged in awesome bags and boxes. Just take its grey canvas zipper marker pen handbag alone! These bags help keep your art tools organized and can be bought individually. They feature a stylish design and deserve special attention. They are pretty spacious and made of waterproof and lightweight materials. Most of them are multifunctional and equipped with a detachable handle and shoulder girdles for easy carrying.
Coloring instruments and other Arrtx products are created for art students, designers, hobbyists, crafters, and professional artists.
Best Arrtx Additional Art Supplies
I’ve already posted a couple of reviews spotting the Arrtx marker sets and can’t help but introduce other products released by this brand. Except for the markers, its marker pad and masking tapes are one of the most popular Arrtx art supplies.
| Rank | Review | Name | Good for… |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | | Arrtx Sketch Marker Pad | Sketching, marker drawing, writing, design, coloring, etc. |
| 2 | | Arrtx Washi Tape | Painting framing on watercolor papers, decorating journals and handbooks, gift wrapping, DIY crafts, photos, scrapbooks, etc. |
Arrtx Marker Drawing Paper Pad
The Arrtx pad includes 30 blank paper sheets that are glue-bound and can easily be torn off. The pages come in an A4 format (8.3 x 11.7 inches), which is convenient for panorama, portrait, and wide-range painting. The paper features a thickness of 56 lbs./120gsm. It is smooth and thick enough so that highly-pigmented media don’t leak through it. The page backside doesn’t stain; however, the paper is not textured enough (toothed) to withstand watercolor and wet acrylic painting. Actually, this paper is suitable for many types of media. It works with paint, sketch, oil-based, and alcohol-based markers; drawing, colored, and charcoal pencils; pens, etc. The pad has a hardboard underneath, which provides better control during your art process.
- The paper is environmentally-friendly and safe for users
- Can be used for various art projects
- Accepts multiple media
- Odorless
- A reasonable price
- High-moisture markers do slightly bleed through the pages, leaving a faint trace of the drawing
- The sheets are on a thinner side
Arrtx Gold Foil Washi Tape
What is the point of the Arrtx Washi tape? This masking tape can be used for different purposes. You can make a frame while painting on watercolor papers and keep edges without color smears so that your artwork will have a clean and sleek look. There is no color leaking under the tape. Also, use it for decoration, wrapping gifts, and various DIY crafts.
The tape includes 3 rolls in a pack with 0.59’’ x 10.9’’ each. It features gold-foil patterns inspired by geometric elements. The gold stamping is shining when exposed to light. The tape is made of quality paper. In case one needs a small piece of it, it is easy to separate with one’s fingernails without using special tools.
The tape holds on the paper tightly and is easy to remove without damaging the paper texture. Also, it can quickly be relocated during the working process without leaving a sticky residue.
- Multifunctional
- Acid-free and doesn’t discolor paper
- Doesn’t ruin the paper
- Works on any type of paper (watercolor, drawing, and art paper; planners; cards, etc.)
- Allows easy repositioning and removal
- The tape is too thin and tends to tear before you remove the whole strip
- The rolls are too tiny
Where to Buy TOP Art Supplies by Arrtx?
The Arrtx products can be obtained from the official website. Since it is a Chinese company, the website redirects customers to a particular web page, depending on their location.

Summing Up
Arrtx gives a good chance to try lots of premium art products without breaking the bank. Due to top-notch quality, the supplies and materials it makes can easily compete with world-renowned brands. All items described in this review are worth testing and using by artists of any grade.
