- Hawaii Artist Welzie explains the differences between Acrylic and Oil based paint pen markers. What surfaces these paint pens can work on and a few tips on using the pens on surfaces.
www.welzie-art...
Your videos are so simple and right to the point. No useless chatter and very informative. Thank you
Thanks for the feedback!! 🤙🏼
Oil-based doesn't work on polymer clay, rven though it's plastic.
Good tip! Thanks!
Tile Grout Pens, from Shein & Temu work very well & Not just on Tiles/Grout. They are water based, but waterproof when dry - I use them for painting my Fishing Floats (Red & Black) Available in other colours also, like Yellow, Green, blue & Metallic Silver.
Great tip thank you! I’ll have to get some of those and test em out. Thanks!
I have a car that is vinyl wrapped and I want to do a cartoon style comic outline of the car what is your recommendation? From what I saw in the video oil based seems the way to go but would love a proper answer!
Oil based will be the way to go. Try experimenting a little on a part of the car that is hard to see. Good luck!
Thanks for the explanation! Are both pens suitable for works on primed canvas?
Yes
I have found that Acrylic colors arent true colors. Like red or blue. They are always light. I cant find a good red or blue pen for wood for the life of me.
Have you tried posca pens?
@@WelzieArtthe absolute best, expensive but great pens
Hello how long does it takes to dry on metal the oil base pen...Its for painting over earrings
Depending on weather, but here on Maui an oil based pen can take 1-3 min to dry depending on how much paint was applied.
Hello I wanted to ask a question if I buy jewelry and I wanted to keep it from chipping or tarnishing...Is alclad clear gloss good to apply over it to keep it from tarnishing and water proof...Or what does you recommend
I’m not sure what would work with jewelry. Different metals have different problems. Best of luck
I've been painting on glasses with DecoArt oil based pens. It doesn't take that long for the image to wear off. What do you suggest? Would it help to oven set?
You could use a spray enamel but it will wear off too. Anything high use and rubbing won’t be able last
Do you have a recommendation for ballpoint oil paint pens? Most junkyards use a particular type that's like 100 Dollars. It's not for art really, but for utility.
I don’t, but if sharpie has one I. Et it pretty solid
I am looking specifically for painting on glass. Do you have a favorite oil based brand? I would like as many colors as I can get without breaking the bank. Also, in searching, I've noticed some are neon colors..I don't think I want neon. Thx!
My favorite oil based pens are the sharpie paint pens. Great colors and work really well for oil based pens
Theres just as many oil based paint pens as there are acrylic, and then theres even brands like krink, that sell alcohol based solvent paint pens , which are also permanent and beautiful in color.
FYI:: oil based Paint pins will come off on your hands because of the oil on your skin. I used to right on all kinds of crap in my house like on desks of mine with oil paints. And My girlfriend start getting Paint stains at her arms and hands.,
and if you fall asleep on a desk covered in oil paint pen art, you're gonna get color on your dumb face like I did lol.
This is the same with the alcohol based ones, so just keep this in mind , it won't come right off instantly, but it will start to and will do it faster if you're sweating ,
best way to fix this is to coat your paint pen art with varnish or polycrylic, I'm a paint pen addict. I've tried many paint pen styles , I'm not even good at art :P but ive learned a few things
Ps: sharpie makes these amaaaazing brush tip acrylic paint pens!
Okay bye!
Thanks!
question, im looking into this right now and have some "molotow" brand pens which advertise themselves as "high end acrylic" paint pens, and they seem to be advertised to work on most everything, molotow is a grafitti brand in any case. Im not sure exactly but i think it might have somethign to do with "enamel" or "acrylic enamel" which is a term i keep seeing pop up, but never really understood. Do you have any insights?
There can be acrylic enamel. Enamel is the type of finish not necessarily the chemical compound. Hope that helps
Hi, I have a question, if I want to paint some places with scratches on aluminum, it is better to use an oil pen? I've already tried use acrylic pen, but the paint doesn't stick very well.
Yes use oil
HELP! I want to use oil markers before adding oil to my canvas (already gessoed the canvas so it´s very smooth) first I apply thin butn umber then completely dry, THEN I want to do a complex drawing with the oil marker (white) can that be done? After that I will apply ticker oil on top of everything, but fear it may damage the oil on top thanks!
You’re best bet is to use acrylic as it’s your first layer over the acrylic gesso. Oil does fine over acrylic paint pens. Oil pens will work as well as oil over oil works, but you might find that you have better luck with the acrylic. Hope this helps. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thank you so much!
I make rustic wooden American flags & I put a couple of coats of polycyclic on them. A customer would like some people sign it! What pen would work better?
Acrylic should work, but sometimes it doesn’t always work on poly. I don’t know why but it just doesn’t always work. Your best bet is the oil based. Works on everything.
When u explain acrylic pens
Please can you recommend the best oil based pens to buy and use? And also, can varnish keep acrylic on a phone case from rubbing off?
Sharpie is my favorite for colors and quality. You can try some spray enamel for the acrylic on phone case. I have a video on clear coating
My brother, I have a question: What if I wanted to draw on a real car, which pen would be suitable for writing ink or oil?
If you’re going to not prep the surface I would say oil based pen. If it’s going to be sanded ahead of time and clear coated I would probably use acrylic
how about fabric pen?
Hi, can I use oil based marker on the body of an electric guitar? The finish on the guitar is nitro-cellulose lacquer.
Yes oil based pens will work best on lacquer
Are oil based markers dangerous? Can u get health problems from them
Nice video btw
I wouldn’t eat them that’s for sure. They are more toxic than acrylic. I’m not a doctor but you should be fine unless you’re using them all day everyday in a air tight room. Use oil based with good ventilation and you should be fine. Stay inspired, aloha 🤙🏼
NOTE:
I "Flip" RVs... Travel Trailers etc... for the last 30 years...
I have found out... I can dye or paint my FABRIC... Curtains etc to match my decor with...
the WalMart EXTERIOR Acrylic HOUSE Paint... and it does NOT wash out...
I use a big plastic tube... 80% Water to 20% to the house paint (I mix the paint in the water really well before adding the FABRIC... it come out Beautiful... I let it DRY in the SUN... Rinse it real well outside .. then wash it (without soap) in the washer with lots of fabric softener... It comes out very soft... and it works every time...
Thank you so much for this GREAT video..
Awesome great tip! Thanks!
I want to paint my hard boot plastic skate with acrylic what is the steps to do it , do I have to make it With sand paper first?
It’s best to try a little bit of the acrylic on the plastic and make sure it sticks. If it does then go ahead. Oil pens seem to work much better on plastic but if you don’t have oil pens test the acrylic before committing to drawing over the whole boot. Hope this helps. Stay inspired 🤙🏼
Is there any dt can be refillable for oil paint marker,i use mostly oil marker,its costly, i wanted to refillable
Not that I know of. Montana paint pens used to have refillable but I’m not sure if they had it with oil pens.
I am getting my canvas painting signed by the athlete. Deco or Artistro pen ?
Get it signed with an oil based pen. Make sure you get the pen ready to go before the signature. Good luck!
oil based paint marker suitable for tyre and how long it can hold sir ?
Not sure what a tyre but an oil based pen will last the longest compared to an acrylic pen. 🤙🏼
Would using a blue oil base marker will work on marking a name on a black shirt? Would their be better colors you recommend. I just need the letters to be very clear on the dark fabric.
You’re going to have a hard time writing with any color on a black shirt. You might find that an oil based silver is the only thing that shows.
@@WelzieArt I found that out myself on Wednesday when Silver and Gold Oil Based Markers was all I had in my bag😂 The Silver worked good . Thank you for replying.
What about junk yard engines and transmissions: oiley, caked on grease, dirt, etc. will they clog?
Yes that will make an oil based pen tip clog. If you must, just make sure plenty of paint is in the tip of the pen to help Jeep it from clogging too fast
@@WelzieArt There is (or was) a marker they used in junkyards to mark pulls. It was a stick of stiff "grease", yellow, that was wrapped in foil that you peeled away as it wore down. Have been trying for over 30 mn trying to find on internet. "Grease Pen" or pencil yields something completely different. Application would be industrial. Couldn't find at McMaster either.
What kind of paper is good for acrylic paint pen? Large paper roll*
I don’t recommend soft watercolor paper. The paper seems to clump up in the paint pen tips. I like a smoother paper that has some weight to it. To thin of paper and the paper will start to crinkle when the pen gets laid down. I do most my work of fiberglass and resin panels so I only draw on paper with paint pens to work out my sketches. Hope this helps. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
I have a cotton hat I waht to draw on. What type of marker should I use?
Oil or acrylic will work but oil will be way more permanent. Sharpie makes the best oil marker in my opinion. Good luck. Stay inspired, aloha 🤙🏼
what paint pens work for glossy card stock papper
We use oil based pens on our glossy card stock
What to use for shoe sole ? Basically rubber soles.
Oil based
Hello so for autographs would you recommend the Posca marker or the sharpie oil based. Sometimes the wording on the oil based sharpies will fade a bit
It depends on what your signing. If you’re signing aluminum prints you need the oil based. If canvas or paper you can use oil or acrylic pens. I haven’t noticed the oil based sharpie fading yet. To me they seem like they last longer.
Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
Same question. Which would work best for autographing 8x10 photos?@@WelzieArt
@@Lady_Strange oil based will work on glossy photos
Thank you for your quick response, and for this tutorial! I will look into buying some oil based markers for photos, instead of acrylic.
I have used Zig Painty FX markers in the past on photos, and they worked pretty well. Can anyone tell me if they are acrylic or oil? I have one here, and it just says "Xylene Freee" and "Alcohol-based pigment ink". (I am still going to apply the lesson I learned from your other video, and store this pen horizontally from now on!) I will also stop holding the nib in for long periods of time to get the ink out, and use the pumping method instead.
Question......Dose the Oil based sharpie pen in white when using it on a metal surface dry glossy?
It’s got more of a gloss than an acrylic paint pen for sure. I would call it glossy but you’ll have to see if it’s glossy enough for what you need. 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt great.... it will work great for the white work bench from home depot that is a white powe rcoat that is glossy. I just need it for a few touch ups.
Can you use posca acrylic on car Tyres and it be permanent?
I would use oil based for car tires. 🤙🏼
Can you use acrylic clear coat over oil based chrome pen?
No you can’t
Good question can you use artric paint pens work on skateboard decks vs oil paint pens?
Acrylic will work on skateboards. The level of quality will be base on how well the acrylic sticks. Is the skateboard sanded? Does it have a varnish over the wood. Does it have a decal? If what your drawing on is oil based then you should use oil based marker. varnish or oil based ink on the design will not allow acrylic to adhere very well. Try out a little on a piece of the board and see if works.
Hope this helps
If I ever get a bass guitar of my own, I think I'll go with the oils. I really don't wanna deal with pulling it apart and put a clear coat on it and then putting it back together.
That’s exactly what I would recommend 🤙🏼
My white oil based sharpie paint pen doesn't seem to work on paper, it dries in a way that looks more like a whipped stain then an intentional stroke or dot. Am I doing something wrong or do they not work on paper?
I have a hard time with oil based sharpies on paper. They tend to just pull up the paper into the tip. A glossy paper might work better but again I don’t really do the oil on paper. I don’t think you’re doing something wrong it’s just white paint pen on white paper is a tough mix. Then add the oil based factor and well, problems. Oil works great on many surfaces and last a long time, but they won’t be your best friend with paper products. Keep experimenting, have fun and stay inspired. You’ll find something that works for you.
@@WelzieArt Thanks for the tip, I guess I'll have to get a new pen or find another way to draw it on. Thanks again!
Thanks for making this informative video, i need your help with this thing that i used acrylic paint marker (Artistro) on a ceramic mug and even after baking it is getting scratched, can you please help? Which white paint pens could work best on ceramic ??
Oil based paint pens work best on everything. But if you’re going to be using something a lot it’s bound to get scratches
@@WelzieArt could you please suggest a good set of oil based paint pens for ceramic mugs ?
@dr.hardhyanshaarora6404 I like the colors sharpie oil based pens have.
Which can I use on a silicon coaster mold? Will it come off when I remove the coaster from the mold?
Sorry for the slow response, I had to check my molds and the oil based pen is the one that sticks. Just don’t write in the mold and you won’t have to worry about it coming off
The oil based pen will peel off with whatever you put in the mold.
Looking for a navy blue oil based marker only seem to be in acrylic from what I can find - just looking for it for an autograph on a funco (plastic part) would that be fine with acrylic?
If you’re not going to touch it an acrylic might work (plastics tend to vary on what works) but sharpie makes great oil based pens and I think they have navy blue. Good luck
I saw all "blues" acrylic set- going to get an autograph from Robocop - the cop uniform in the movie is navy blue but a lil different/I saw marker set of blue's one them matches that color/I figure the autograph marker same color as the uniform
If it’s same color it will be hard to see. I would recommend white. Something with high contrast to navy blue.
I want to customise ny airpods,so which markers should i use? Please reply if u read this ❤️🔥Thanks
You will want to use oil as they will have lots of wear and tear. Acrylic will rub off way to easily on the smooth plastic surface. Sharpie makes a good oil paint pen. Good luck and stay inspired. Aloha 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thanks sir,any brand u recommend for oil paint pen
Sharpie makes great ones
Do the acrylic pens work on felt
I haven’t tried but my guess is oil based would be better
What type of pen should I use on a stainless steel water bottle? And can I seal it?
I’ve used oil based. Even sealed it will come off because water bottles are so highly used. Some spray enamel might seal it up but I’m not sure how well it will stay on stainless steel
@@WelzieArtthanks😊
Which one works better on leather jackets? Wich one lasts longer on leather jackets?
Oil based would probably be your best bet but I recommend experimenting first a little
@@WelzieArt thanks
can i customize shoes using sharpie.
Yes you can. Oil or acrylic paint pens will work great. Acrylic you will have to put a clear on though. Have fun stay inspired!
are oil paint pens waterproof
Yes
I want to make hand coloured wooden pins and unique pieces tic tac toe boards (Burgers and Pizzas, Sushi and Fish etc...). What do you suggest I do to paint and finish the pieces for long term lasting? I have a laser engraver (Glowforge) and would just like some direction.
Oil based works the best but acrylic would be the”healthier” and “greener” option. Paint will work better for you than markers for sure. High quality house paint is super durable
Awesome info! I want to draw a design on my wall. I will need to remove wallpaper so will have some prep, for sure. To do design, oil based or acrylic? I’m not sure what type of base paint yet…depends On your reply. Thanks!
Definitely stick to acrylic based! Oil on a wall inside is a nightmare to get rid of. Acrylic will bond properly, easy to clean up, easy to fix… so many reasons. Try only use paint pens for small details. Acrylic paint will be quicker, cheaper, easier and higher quality. Have fun! Stay inspired!
Thanks so much for this reply! We definitely don’t need any nightmares on our wall. Excited to try this! So excited, that I might, in fact, do it in several areas! Thanks again!
Yay! Stay inspired!
@Welzie Art
Question - what works best for EPP foam material, on RC plane/aircraft ? Can i use oil based pen ? Will in interact/dissolve the foam ? Will it stick well to foam surfaces? Many thanks
You’ll have to experiment on some scrap foam first. I think acrylic will be fine but the oil may dissolve the foam. Good luck
Hiya, amazing that you're still replying to comments on a 2 year old video. Just wanted to ask what you'd recommend for decorating fabric like denim or canvas shoes. I've got a black pair of shoes I've been using white acrylic paint pens on but I'm finding it quite hard to keep the paint flowing consistently and it's making my designs all blotchy.
Try oil based paint pens. But you’ll probably have more success with paint and a paint brush. It’s hard to have paint markers work on felt/fabric, anything not smooth
Hi Welzie COOL video!I paint (pro)with acrylics I have purchased an alcohol based 60 pens kit and now wonder if they with last and blend with my paintings for clientsANY ADVICE PLEAS iN ANTICIPATION
Most pens will work great over acrylic paint. Always best to try and do a few tests before doing anything new on a piece you’ve worked hard on. As always acrylic will work best over acrylic. Hope this helps. Stay inspired 🤙🏼
Thank you for the video. Starting to make earrings and jewelry out of acrylic, plastics, and wood. Mostly with a laser engraver doing the engraving and cuts. It was recommended to me by Michael's employee to use oil based coloring pen to color a couple things on red acrylic. But was looking for more authoritative guidance as I start down this road. I did use the oil based paint pen and it worked (where I couldn't get the acrylic pen to actually laydown well at all). The one thing I noticed was that the oil based pen coloring seemed to stay wet forever, I am sure I put too much on but do you have a technique trick for drying?
Oil based is the call for plastics. If you need it to dry quicker use a hair dryer or heat gun. Oil based pens are generally glossy. That’s why it looks wet. Good luck and stay inspired 🤙🏼
Thank you. I’m so bummed as I really love the Posca pens colors. I think I’m going to have a hard time using them on the surfboard I just used epoxy on😞. I’m going to test it out & see if it works. I hope so
Sharpie makes great oil based pens with good color selection
Is this the right thinking?
Making a giant “ruler” for some children’s heights:
1) Stained (unpainted) natural wood, then 2) Acrylic paint markers, then 3) clear coat spray enamel, and finally 4) Regular old sharpie to mark heights?
Or does 4) need to be an oil-based sharpie?
I’ve found for 2) that regular Sharpies bleed into the wood and don’t have clean edges.
Thanks!
Oil based sharpie will be best. Stay inspired
What about coloring them playing marbles? Any suggestions that would stay on?
Oil based pens will be best
Which one will suit on paper
Both will work on paper but I would recommend acrylic over oil if working on paper.
Great video! I'd love to know what you recommend to use to seal my art project and protect it from the elements. It's a wood based project with oil paints on it, but so far I haven't found good sealants that don't also melt the paint. Debating if epoxy is the best route to go or not.
Check out my video on clear coating. Clear oil based spray will work
I want to paint my new era hat undervisor I want to paint it black but im afraid that it well bleed threw the fabric
It shouldn’t. Go with oil it will stay on longer 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt what do u recommend then beacause I want it to be permanent im just painting the undervisor of the hat I just don't want it to bleed threw the top part of the brim
Oil based pen. Sharpie makes great oil based pens
What's best for leather surfaces? Like: sneakers.
Great question. I think the best for leather is actual leather paint (but I’ve never tried it) posca pens work for sneakers but if you’re trying to do art on leather I would go with oil based pens.
Hope this helps. Make sure to do a couple tests before just to be sure.
Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thank you
Will oil based work on a latex mask
Yes it will. I use acrylic to decorate my 3m respirator and it works fine. Oil pretty much works on everything but a little tricky to work with. Hope this helps. Stay inspired, aloha
Any suggestions on what marker to use if putting it on a Guitar body like if someone were to sign a guitar? A lot of people have been telling me I have to put a clearcoat after the signature even if it’s oil or acrylic marker but I’m afraid it’ll bleed and I heard oil markers like deco color is better because it’ll last longer and it won’t fade. What do you think I should do?
Oil should stay on the best bit you can clear coat it with an enamel. Nothing will last forever and everything fades eventually so don’t stress too much on that. If you are. Lock the guitar away in the dark and don’t touch it. But that’s no fun. Just enjoy it
Sorry if this question has been asked, but I wanted to customize some none leather convers type shoes which markers do you recommend?
I think either pen will work. I’ve never done it before so make sure to do some experimenting on the inside of the tongue before you commit to the whole shoe
Any suggestions on whether to use oil based, water based, or acrylic based paint pens if I’m going to use them on leather and then apply leather stain over the top of the paint-drawn area? Thank you in advance.
I haven’t experimented on leather yet but I think oil based will stay the best
So I'm here cause not very savvy with a paint brush and wanted to use a paint pen to customize a metal model car,oil based is the way to go correct?? And do I only need to go over it once
Correct. I think they have oil based paint pens specifically for model cars but I may be mistaken.
Acetone can remove both oil and acrqylic based paint
Yep. Removes just about anything
@WelzieArt it my favourite chemical because of that
@elylioney6390 hahaha me too
i just got my guitar signed with a silver sharper a couple months it’s a black fender electric strat with a glossy type of coat. sadly it faded away so i wanna be planned for the time what do you recommend using for it. Also how should i make sure it stays? i was thinking clear coat but idk if it would smudge either
Make sure to use an oil based pen. If you want to clear coat it I have a video on clear coating your art as well. Good luck!
What would you suggest as the best marker pen for using on black spray painted metal surface ? I need to make straight lines on my truck about 1/16" thick. Thanks
Oil based for sure. Acrylic won’t work. Have fun!
Hi! The oil based Can be use on mirror , but can I erase/clean my mirror drawings with alcohol or with something ?
If you want to draw on a mirror but be able to erase I would recommend using an acrylic paint marker. You can erase really easy with a flat razor blade. The paint will come right off. No scratches to the mirror if the blade is sharp, clean and flat against the surface. Oil paint markers will be a lot harder to get off if you can get it all off at all.
Good luck. Stay inspired 🤙🏼
I want to paint a design onto a latex painted jewelry armoire. I was planning on using oil markers I have a spray clear coat Should I seal the art or just leave it without. It will be on front of drawers and possibly on top where people may put things on top.. or inside where jewelry may rub thanks
If it’s going to get a lot of wear and tear than I highly recommend using a clearcoat. Acrylic paint pens will be fine with the clearcoat but I think oils will be best for what you’re using putting a clearcoat over oils will really make them durable to wear and tear. Hope this helps. Have fun. Stay inspired. Aloha.
Which neon pink paint pen work on aluminium? I want to fill some recessed logos on some aluminium parts. I fear I will need to put a white primer down first so the colour is not washed out
Oil based will perk the best and I think sharpie are the best. Neon colors never turn out very neon but worth a try. Good luck 🤙🏼
What marker/paint pen is best for writing (autograph) on a crushed velvet type fabric?
Oil based and acrylic do work. Sharpie pens work too. Even fabric pens. If I were getting something fabric autographed I would use an oil based pen.
Can I use posca pens on the glass or mugs or ceramic?
I have not tried on ceramic but glass yes. I have a video on drawing on glass.
Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thank you so much
Iv had some oil based pens dissolve the plastic or rubber. I have used acrylic on plastic that worked and oil that didnt, test yourself Is the best option.
I totally agree. Plastics and rubber are made of all different kinds of chemicals which allow some pens to work some not. Always test it out before getting to deep into the project. 🤙🏼
Thanks bro just bought an oil based pen do I could decorate my controller and wanted to know more good to see a info vid so straight forward
Awesome! Yeah the oil base will work perfect on the plastic controller. No need to clear coat either. Have fun!
Hey brother, what do you think is the best to use over epoxy resin to sign for a autograph, very nervous about it was thinking about posca,deco color,Molowtow. But would love to hear your thoughts and could send a picture of the piece if needed.
Use an oil based pen. Should work fine
@@WelzieArt thank you so much means alot. Any brand you recommend?
@cadenwilliamss4270 in my opinion sharpie makes the best oil based pen, but it’s been a while since I’ve used molowtow
@WelzieArt hey was wondering if sharpies oil based pen had acidus ingredients that can sink into the epoxy writing over it cause have heard the regular sharpies can do such
@@cadenwilliamss4270 I think the oil based will be fine on epoxy but I always make sure you experiment first.
Hi, could you please suggest what kind of paint marker is best for detailing purpose over a diecast car without stripping the stock paint of the car.
A fine tip oil based sharpie should work great
Hi. 👋 I was wondering, what type of paint markers is best for drawing on leather?
I’m not sure but I will be doing some experiments with leather soon. Paint pens, and leather paint. Stay tuned
New Sub here❤🤙🏽
Thanks!
Thank you!
🤙🏼
Ok, so which is better for color under finishing resin? Posca black is ok but the Posca colors ran. Would the oil pens bleed colors under gloss coat?
What type of resin are you using? I don’t have a problem with poly resin over posca. I do notice sometimes a couple colors bleed but never with black.
Oil pens will not work under poly so don’t try that. I’m not sure how they would work under epoxy. Hope this helps. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
Aloha 🤙🏼
What would go best no fabric? Please tell me 🙏🙏
Oil based pens will be least likely to wash out of fabric. Hope this helps! Stay inspired 🤙🏼
sharpie has fabric pens now!
Great news!!
Is there anything I can use to help seal oil based paint? I used a paint pen to change the color on some Oakley sunglasses. They came out great, but after letting them dry for two weeks and trying to wear them, the paint on the inside of the arms started to come off from the sweat on my face.
Use clear enamel over oil based pens. Unfortunately paint pens don’t handle high friction but a clear coat will help
I plan on painting/drawing on a gloss black motorcycle helmet. So presume oil based is best? Thanks for creating this video!
Yeah I would recommend oil. The high plastic polish is hard for pens to stick to but oil will work best. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
If I make art with molotow and sakura pentouch acrylic inks on canvas, how long will they last with proper varnish coating? The manufacturers claims them to be of archival quality.
I don’t use those pens so I can’t really say. Generally archival ink or archival quality will last 100 years. If not placed in direct sunlight it should last long enough for a couple generations. Hope this helps. Stay inspired!! 🤙🏼
Thanks! I almost buy the acrylic. If I want to paint a phone case and add a coat of resin ?
Don’t add resin to a phone case. Best to use an enamel clear coat over the plastic phone case. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
The oil base style pen was originally used for welding that way the heat would not erase your measuring mark.
Interesting fact. Thanks!!
Are these pens great for magazine doodling?
Yes, 💯
@@WelzieArt Mahalo! Are you located in Hawaii?
@odettagonzalez4355 yep. South Maui
Are using poly with MEK catalyst or Uv cure on Posca color?
I use poly with MEK. But I have used UV cure on posca. I haven’t had many problems with both.
What do you think I should use for a wooden outdoor sign? Can you also recommend how I should seal it?
Enamel paint will hold up longer than water based but house paint is water based and hold up great. Higher quality paint will last longer. House paint won’t need any sealer but you can add a clear acrylic sealer on it if you like. I always recommend doing some experimenting first. Every paint seems to react differently with sealer or paint pens.
very informative video. question for ya. i’m getting a Gremlins Supreme skateboard signed by an actor this weekend. it will be on the bottom side by the artwork. it has a clear finish on that side. would an oil based sharpie paint pent metallic silver work good? thanks!
Yes. That is exactly what I would recommend. Oil based sharpie. Make sure to open pen and get ink flowing before they sign it. It takes a few minutes for the pen to get started and I’m sure the actor won’t want to wait around till the ink makes it’s way to the tip.🤙🏼
Hey, just wondering if the oil based pens will still to metal headphones (sounds like it should). On part of my headphones the black has worn off the metal (aluminium I'd say). Will this work?.... cheers.
Yes the oil based pens will park better and you won’t have to clear spray coat them. Good luck 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thanks.
I have a question ,hopefully someone can answer me.I do have lots of glossy black folder with golden shiny writting on it . But I discover a mistake in the writting. Now I am trying to fix it manually by adding the missing letter , I tried to use a golden sharpie but it appeared completely different.Can any one give me an advice for any type of permanent marker that can be used on shiny smooth folders ?
Hi! I think the best for shiny black smooth folders would be your sharpie oil based pens. If you stick to one brand of pens then the colors will always match up. Hope this helps! Have fun and stay inspired
Nice info. I have a question. What should i use if i want to use it on metal body like hotwheels?
Oil works best on metal. Acrylic can work but rubs off easier. 🤙🏼
El oil markers resist if I want to put a spray or resin coat ?
Oil markers don’t work under resin. Spray is ok over oil pens 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thanks !
🤙🏼
Sharpie has tons now! I use them for clothing/ merch for my band!
Sharpie makes great paint markers! Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
So I'm relatively new into art. I have a knack for oil paints on canvas but I think some of my work could use some finer, more controlled highlights/outlines.
I figured an oil pen/marker would help me achieve that. In my mind I'd let the oil paint on the canvas dry before going back over and adding a few lines with the pen or marker to touch up a few things.
Sound reasonable? Thanks in advance
Very reasonable! Oil based pens and pencils will be a great addition to your oil paintings. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hi! I was also considering using oil based markers on my oil paintings and i was wondering if you could some feedback if you tried it. I'm nervous about the paint cracking... did it come out fine?
@estelle8345 yeah it went fine. As I tried to elude to I was mostly just re enforcing some outlines, but I also waited until after my base coat dried. I don't have any tips for blending with them, but I will recommend that you draw a bit in some scratch paper ti get the paint in the tip and get used to them.
Okay thank you very much!
Hey Welzie, Thanks for the video! Would Acrylic be alright on my PU boards for a while without clear coating it? (I was thinking it be nice if I could wipe it off with alcohol or something in the future)
Thanks,
Acrylic will work. It’s what I use. I recommend clear coat or it will rub off in the surf. In the future you can sand off the artwork if needed.
Stay inspired! Aloha 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt Sweet! Thanks 😊
