Thank you to Archer & Olive for sponsoring this video and sending me all of the Acrylograph pens so I could create this guide! ✨ Which set is your fav? I love the colour palette of the Jewel set 😍

@Shiba-tw2ed 3 года назад

Can you change the pens nib? I mean if have the 3mm pens and some different sized nibs can you interchange them like the arteza paint pens (that comes also with chiseled and small nibs) or you can only use the nib type the pen come with?

@recoveringsoul755 3 года назад

@@Shiba-tw2ed good question, also if you can swap out the 2 sizes of nib in the same color pen, so you could order 2 sets of colors in different sizes, but really get both sets in both sizes, if that makes sense. When she held both size nibs in her hand, they looked like just the tip was different size. Another question is can you buy replacement nibs. This really seems like a waste of packaging material just for a handful of pens in that giant box. And she kept saying ink when they are paint pens, basically acrylic paint. I'd like to know if she can take a pen apart, maybe when it runs dry, and try to just refill it with acrylic paint maybe with a little water to help it thin out a bit. Some people have been able to refill pens that are not refillable by doing that. Not sure if it would work with one of these. Maybe you would have to add in more ink/paint through the hole where the pen nib goes in. Like with a pipette.They don't seem like they could hold that much paint. Or, when you have an empty dried out pen, you could use regular acrylic paint and just dip it into that color, and use it as an applicator

@Shiba-tw2ed 3 года назад

@@recoveringsoul755 I asked the question because the only store that sells it in my country only has the 3 mm version, and I really prefer thinner tips pen. I feel like if I ask the brand they would obviously tell me to buy the version I want. But if someone was willing to try the theory..

@pmontoya3153 3 года назад

@recoveringsoul755 3 года назад

@@pmontoya3153 Yikes that's expensive for acrylic paint. When you can get an ounce bottle for about a dollar, haven't gotten any recently but they used to cost about that much.

@BallooNeccesities 3 года назад

A hint I picked up from my mixed media art days, workable fixatif sprayed over dried watercolor and let to dry again allows you to work over the watercolor without reactivating it.

I got the jewel set and I LOVE the colors so much. I'm curious to see how long a single pen will last and how they plan on making them refillable. Love the sustainability idea, it always feels SO wasteful when you have to throw away a pen or marker

@PlantBasedBride 3 года назад

I’ll definitely give an update when I eventually run out of ink! I have a feeling it will take a long time, though. I’m not privy to details on how they’re making them refillable, but I agree about the waste inherent in disposable stationery!

Hi Yoda! I really wish they were available as singles. I can easily imagine running empty on a couple of favorite colors. Also: so. Much. Packaging. And I'm guessing you can blend on a ceramic or glass plate.

@recoveringsoul755 3 года назад

Yes tons of packaging and most people will probably take them out and put them into a pen case or something. And disposable too. Just get regular acrylic paint in the colors you like and use the empty pen as an applicator, dip it into the paint and go form there. Seems like it should work.

@amara560 3 года назад
