Paint Pens

What are paint pens?

A paint marker is a popular and convenient writing tool that is used for various clerical, office, technical tasks, as well as for drawing art projects. Most often, marker pens are made using alcohol, water, and oil bases. This ensures the safety of use, since such bases make painting markers non-toxic, odorless, but the designs they create remain durable. This is a godsend gift for artists and professional painters striving to free their inner creativity, as you can use Artistro paint pens for coverage of completely different types of work. Thanks to the lightness and maneuverability, Artistro paint pens has become a tool for creating masterpieces for everyone, without exception, because even a child can draw with marker pens.

Since the creation of the first marker pen in 1910 until today, paint pens have gone through a long development, winning worldwide love. But, no matter how much they change in form, composition and purpose of use, the main purpose of the pen marker has always remained unchanged. Today, the scope of use of the paint marker pen is incredibly wide: from recreational activities, educational lessons, business notes, to creating art objects for exhibitions in art galleries, creating decor items, unique accessories and painting clothing.

How to use paint pens?

Before you start drawing, you need to select and prepare the canvas or paper itself. Since a paint marker pen is a versatile tool, you can use many other surfaces besides canvas or paper: skateboard, wood, fabric, metal, plastic, ceramics, glass, pottery, porcelain. Whichever you choose, make sure the drawing surface is completely clean and smooth enough to distribute the paint marker ink evenly. Shake a paint pen vigorously without removing the cap. After that, activate a paint marker (pump up) as indicated in our manual below. After priming, you can start drawing right away. In some cases, you need to reactivate a marker pen if you have not used it for some time.

How to create designs on different surfaces using marker pens?

How to paint wine glasses with paint pens? Carefully clean and dry the glass after wiping it with rubbing alcohol. Draw your unique design with marker pens and let it dry for at least 24 hours to ensure the ink adheres to the glass surface completely. Bake the painted glasses or mugs for 1 hour at 180˚C (350˚F). Be sure to let the pen marker design cool completely in the oven before removing it.

Using paint pens for wood designs. The paint marker works great on treated and semi-finished wood. Try our special paint marker pen sets to see for yourself. Be sure to pre-tint the entire slice surface with plain paint pen to make the surface for your future drawing opaque. Let the background dry completely before moving on to creating the actual design. If a design requires multiple layers of paint pen, remember to wait until the previous layer is completely dry before applying new parts of the design over it.
