Paint Pens & Markers

What are Paint Markers?

A 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, paint pens are made using alcohol, water, and oil bases. This ensures the safety of use since such bases make markers non-toxic, odorless, but the designs they create remain durable. This is a perfect gift for artists and professional painters striving to free their inner creativity, as you can use multi-surface markers for coverage of completely different types of work. 

The scope of use of paint pens 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 Create Designs on Different Surfaces Using Paint 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 paint 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 design cool completely in the oven before removing it.

Using paint pens for wood designs. Markers work great on treated and semi-finished wood. Be sure to pre-tint the entire slice surface with plain paint to make the surface opaque. Let the background dry completely before moving on to creating the actual design. If a design requires multiple layers of paint, remember to wait until the previous layer is completely dry before applying new parts of the design over it.
