Creating art on paper opens the path to a broader range of media, including watercolors, oil- and acrylic-based paints, permanent markers, and a new set of products: Paint markers. These gadgets lay colors on unusual surfaces, like rocks and glass. The possibilities are endless using these markers to decorate and design whatever you like. The capabilities of these paint markers are very close to traditional brush-on paints. For instance, the Liquitex acrylic paint marker allows you to mix while you paint, and the Sharpie oil paint creates a glossy and opaque look to your artwork. You can control the tips and the pressure to achieve your desired effect whether you are using these on paper, stone, or other surfaces.
Whether you choose acrylic, oil-based, or water-based colors to show off your abilities, you’ll enjoy the permanence, bright colors, and versatility of these paint markers. Their uses are limited only by the artist’s imagination. All of these products are excellent quality, so go forth and express yourself.
