I'm pretty good at telling stories, I really love coffee, I crave meeting new and different people, and I enjoy helping others learn about random stuff! I'm located in Ohio, but I travel any time I can.
While this was 3 years ago. You should really try Hobby Lobby's acrylic based markers. Fairly new. Brush tip (softer than bullet nine but harder than alcohol based markers brush tips). The tip is already saturated with paint. No need to press to get paint. Flows very smooth and is an amazing marker.
Poseo una buena colección de estuches o cajas de compases antiguos y modernos, con muchas piezas y pocas también, tengo las marcas, STAEDTLER MARS, LOTTER, HAFF, PROEBSTER, todos estos alemanes, KERN SWISS, WILD HERRBRUG, suizos, BOFA chinos, FB rusos, K&E, ALVIN, DIETZGEN, SCHOOENER, LIETZ, FREDERICK POST, americanos y E.O . RICHTER alemanes, también ALDA alemanes creo, y algunos más como ROTRING alemanes, he visto que los alemanes fueron muy buenos para construir estos instrumentos, son bellos para mi y solo quiero limpiarlos y ordenarlos bien para poder exhibirlos de algún modo, algunos tienen más de 20 piezas en una sola caja con todo tipo de accesorios como la brújula de centros que permite hacer dibujos con muchos círculos en un solo centro para no abocardar o perforar el tablero de dibujo al estar girando el compás muchas veces en el mismo punto. Gracias.
EXCELLENT VIDEO Note: the background noise/music was a little too loud making it hard to hear you at times. Thank YOU so much for sharing this wonderful video This helped very much.
As we age I have discovered that the I'm not as steady with a fine brush as I need to be at times. I decided to look into acrylic paint markers to remedy this situation. I settled on a brand called Artistro and got their set of 30 extra fine markers. Using markers opened up a whole new world of creativity for me. I have been using them over paintings on canvas that just needed a little finessing and boy what a difference they make! I'm very pleased with the Artistro markers.
Very well could be lead! Though lead is a danger when ingested or inhaled, so as long as I don't lick the compass or use it as a ridiculous set of chop sticks, I imagine it's fine. 🤣🥴
Newbie questions are the most important questions! This is just Behr Marquee exterior acrylic paint. You can use any form of exterior paint for this. Spray cans would be much easier, but also much more expensive. So just depends on what fits your situation.
Thank you for your insights! I've been a professional athlete on a world level for over 40 years. People are bombarding me to sign T-Shirts and other materials that stretches when signing an autograph. So far, I not found one product that does not pull when using for this purpose. I've spent hours reading and watching videos. I am astounded that no ones mentions any marker that flows over cloth surfaces. The only thing I that come close is a steel rollerball paint marker. IMO, Sharpies are the worse! What are your thoughts?
Fabric can be tough and paint markers might not be the best or easiest. I don't have much experience with fabric, but I'd follow suit with the canvas shoe artists that are out there. Most of them seem to successfully use alcohol-based markers (like Copic) to illustrate on shoes. Since they are not water-based, they're considered permanent. Something like Copic might be your best bet, especially for fast results. I'd keep a bottle of refill ink handy, too.
Wow, that certainly is a beautiful compass, I like the engraving on it, it's like an ornamental piece for display. I have a beautful set of English brass draughtsman's tools, a set of compasses from around the year 1850, I bought some more sets as well from the 1800's and early 1900s. I hesitate to use the 1800 brass ones because they are quite fragile, when you try to prize them open, they bend like soft gold. They make a good set to show off to like minded people. I mean to make a video on them some time. I didn't get modern day compasses because they don't look good in my opinion, I don't like the silly designs and the plastics on them. I mean to use these for architectural drawing, but I am practicing using them by making engineering and carpentry/furniture drawings. Great video, looking forward to more of your stuff fellow like minded person :)
What kind of brushes do you use with the house paint? Do you find that those brushes get ruined quicker with the house paint even with proper rinsing/washing?
I'm sorry I missed this question! With proper brush care, you can use your highest quality artist brushes without damage! They wash and wear just as artist acrylics.
Thanks for sharing and for the insightful science behind it. Are interference oil paints you can buy at the art store the same as color shifting pigments mixed with linseed oil? i’ve been looking for color shifting/chameleon colors in the tube and I can’t seem to find any in oil paints. I’ll probably need to DIY it with your recommended process. Thanks!
I'm actually not too sure about that. I find it easier to just get the pigments and mix my own, but you could always try both to see how they compare? Good luck!
This woman is just super annoying ...she speaks so fast ,unclear and unfocused...she would have explained more about the differences between water, acrylic and oil paints instead of spitting murky salad of words...pathetic
Yeah! Look up lead for lead holders. There's a bunch of varieties. Make sure you get a sharpener for the lead. They're pretty small. You can break the lead into sections for it, and sharpen as needed.
I had a full Molotow set - paint quality was fantastic but I had several marker explosions (caps too tight) and no matter how long I shook, some paint pens never mixed properly. So I stuck with Posca. It's good for grab and go, small paintings on paper.
I might have a layer of Gesso on there but that shouldn't matter. If it doesn't cover completely with Marquee, there's a bigger issue. I've never used any color or tone of Marquee that doesn't immediately cover my canvases. Do you possibly have it thinned too much or need to mix it? Perplexing!
Its worth noting that some pigments are transparent and some opaque, they are meant to be like that. So its probably not fair to judge a paint because it doesnt cover the black. I've recently discovered the ready mix sample pots too, I think they are a great idea, I'm thinking kitchen paint might be the closest to art paint, I've only tried masonary paint so far which is good but its very matt so the paintings can look a bit weird using it.
It is true that paint which is formulated to be very opaque will have a limited color spectrum! This is why I suggested using other paint to help "dye" the more opaque pigments. This isn't intended to be a gallery solution! Just another alternative for people who want to do a painting for one reason or another. I enjoy matte finishes to paint, but I think that's a personal preference. Even if your paint is matte, you can still apply a gloss/semi gloss varnish to get the look you're wanting. Maybe that might help with your masonry paint!
Don’t know if it’s been said here but the Elmers should have mixing balls.. not sure abt the ultra fines but the meds, fines and chisels all had Mixing balls at least in my experiences with them.
Great review, thanks! I often use paint markers to sign acrylic paintings, or for specific spots on a painting on canvas. Liquitex is amazing due to its fine, chisel tip. Liked Montana, but the paint dries in the tube so quickly, mine wouldn't work really quickly--paint wouldn't come out. No problem with Liquitex. They work for years. Am am interested in trying the pens you recommended.
