A smooth surface allows skip-free drawing and pigments to remain wet for slightly longer. This provides more leeway to edit work before it fully dries. These beloved acrylic paint markers can be used on everything from ceramic and canvas to glass and plastic. But what about good ole’ paper? Yes, this product contains non-toxic water-based paint, which is acid-free and is called Opaque. It’s also known for being light-fast, odourless, xylene-free, waterproof, and lead-free when dry. Use the pens on practically any surface, including metal, wood, fabric, plastic, canvas, etc. They're even suitable to use on paper and card, as they don't bleed.

These water-based acrylic paint pens mark literally any surface: glass, metal, select plastics, wood, cardboard, concrete, and ceramics. But if you got them to use on paper, you must be careful of your choice because some papers are flimsy and don’t do well with wet media.

All papers are not created equal. Some are excellent for pencil art but perform dismally with paint pens. That is why considering the nuances of different papers is critical before selecting one for your Posca pens. Here are the characteristics to look for; Weight Usually isolation coats are for acrylic based paintings, and not used for layers of water-based colour. I wonder why you want to apply an isolation layer between your layer of dye and the posca pen work – If I understand your intentions correctly I think you can go straight ahead and work with the Poscas over the top of the colour without an isolation coat in-between. Fabric and Textiles- offers permanent results after being ironed, but the fabric should be reversed when ironing.

These paint markers are available in a range of sizes, which means that each item has a different period. Nonetheless, each paint marker is equipped with a high-quality nib that makes the pen long-lasting while stopping the pen from running or leaking.

The water-based pigment ink can be wiped off glass easily, making the pens wonderful for creating temporary signs and window art. You can even create your own permanent designs on terracotta and glass by baking in the oven, or on clothing and other fabric by ironing on the reverse.As with most painting projects the preparation of the surface is the most important part for creating a long-lasting object. It should be clean and free of oil or wax and if it is non-porous it will need to be roughed up a bit with sandpaper to create a ‘key’ for the paint to latch onto. Skipping the proper steps of preparation and jumping to the fun part of applying the colour causes problems for artists, craftspeople and house painters. Avoid super absorbent paper that will bleed and also soak the paint instantly. If the paper is not coated, at least it should be fine-grained. Visibly coarse paper may begin to pill when you go over it with the wet pens. Binding and Cover I don’t recommend using textured paper as it absorbs more pigment, which can cause visible bleeding and warp your paper. Acid-free paper

Another thing about the surface – exterior walls are not always prepared in a way that gives a smooth surface, so it might be hard to draw on. If you scrape your coats of gesso primer on with an extra large palette knife or paint scraper, that could help fill any ridges and give you a smoother surface to draw on. The skull should be much easier since bone is porous unless it has been waxed or varnished. If it is very dry and porous you might want to apply a clear primer first so the paint doesn’t soak in and sit under the surface. Then paint with the posca and when it is dry varnish as above. If you wish the skull to not be shiny then for the last coat of varnish you can use a matt varnish. The first coats should be gloss because a build-up of the matt varnish will usually be cloudy, but one final coat of matt is fine. Although these art pens are incredibly versatile, sourcing the best paper for Posca pens requires a few considerations. Paper– offers permanent results for all types of paper and cardboard. This includes photos, tracing paper, and correlated cardboard. The ink in these pens doesn’t bleed through the paper. So, what is the best paper for Posca pens? The best paper for Posca pens is high-quality, sturdy, smooth-textured, and bleed-proof paper. Paper like Bristol and mixed media paper can handle the wetness of paint and rubbing of the nib without wrinkling or tearing.

What Are Posca Pens Used For?

After you have seen this ink filled in the tip of the pen, you can start applying it to whatever surface you would like. With that being said, you must remember that this ink gets hard when it dries when applied to a porous surface. However, the ink can be wiped away with a sponge, wash cloth, or water if it’s still wet. You should account for this if you make a mistake and the ink is still wet.
