Unlike oil-based paint or other types of pens, these new Acrylic coloured pencils do not leave behind any mess when interacting with unwanted substances like ink and paper. Their only downside is that cleanup may be more complicated than usual due to its lifelike appearance.

When it comes to the best paint pens, you’ll find that these markers are not your average kind. They’re made of high-quality materials and never come off, so if handled with care, they will last forever!

1. Water-Based Paint

The term paint marker is used to refer to 1. Acrylic paint markers 2. Oil Paint markers and 3. Permanent ink marker pens. So it is essential to know that actually what acrylic paint markers are.

If you ever have used the pen where you have to shake the pen so the ball bearing can mix the paint and oil entirely before use, so you will have come across oil-based paint pens. These markers leave a terrible smell because of oil solvent-based, and therefore, they are not ideal for kids and even unsuitable for poorly ventilated areas. In addition, oil-based markers take longer to dry than acrylic markers. Though they can be used on similar surfaces like acrylic oil-based markers will act slightly differently. On porous surfaces, paint tends to sit marginally better, and on non-porous surfaces such as cards or paper, there are more chances to bleed on the surface.

If we talk about permanent pens, they are sometimes pretty confused for paint pens. The difference is that they are ink-based as against paint-based, and they act ultimately differently. They perform well on white surfaces also dry fast, and are somewhat limited. The ink won’t show up well on dark surfaces and does not work correctly on porous surfaces. Blending and layering are impossible with ink.

So that acrylic paint marker pens are a new technology using water-based acrylic paint. They are gaining popularity because of their ease of use, amongst other things.

2. Multi-Skilled

Acrylic Pens offers superior performance when blending. Acrylic paints dry quickly and provide the perfect blend without hiding your base colour, while oil-based ink pens can be unpredictable in their results depending on what paper they’re used to working with. If misapplied, it is possible for colours not to show up at all but will show through when put against another media type like white paper, which makes these tools invaluable regardless! But those markers would not allow you to apply on any glossy surface. However, no matter how much time we use after using, these markers will come off quickly if we try to rub them with our fingers.

Art teachers are teaching their students how to work with various materials that they can use for different projects. The kids enjoy painting shoes, drawing on paper or rock and displaying it beautifully in Acrylic paint!

These pens come in shades of gold and silver so that you can do your art on T-shirts or fabric. It is an elegant way to customize clothes without worrying that it will be seen as permanent decoration–no one knows whether what they’re looking at is done with magic!

3. Safety

Try to use these Acrylic colours or the best Acrylic paint pens on decorative items only.

• Avoid using those pens on the items used for eating and drinking purposes because it could be harmful to your health because these colours are manufactured to display your artwork.
• Please do not touch the coloured part while it is wet.
• When the colour is wet, you can blend or mix it.
• If the colour gets dry, you will not be able to gain the colour of your requirement.
• When working with Acrylics, you should wear old clothes or an apron because the colour gets permanent after it dries.

These Acrylics Paint Pens are safe for children at the age of 5 and more; we do not recommend these paint pens under 3.

Suppose you feel that the tip of your colour paint pen is getting rough or is not giving you the strokes of your choice. In this case, keep that scratchy tip paint pen aside and make it reusable on uneven surfaces.

4. Characteristics

Did you notice that acrylic paint marker pens are sold as being permanent? It is true, let me tell you how.

Wood, fabric, paper, and stone all have porous surfaces. If the paint’s quality is good, it will dry permanently. So you can say that your artwork will stand the test of time.

If you want to use the pens on non-porous or glossy surfaces like glass, mirror, ceramic, or metal, the paint will not be utterly permanent once the paint has dried. It also takes longer to dry on glossy surfaces.

If you want your paint permanent on glossy surfaces, you can use varnish spray after using acrylic markers. The spray will make the paint more permanent and protect your decoration against chipping and cracking.

5. User- Friendly

The artwork becomes easier after acrylic pens. Now you no need to take care of your painting supplies. You can paint your thoughts without many painting supplies like brushes, colour palettes, etc.

One more advantage of paint markers is that they don’t make a mess while painting, and no tension of brush cleaning. When you paint from paint bottles, sometimes you take less colour, and sometimes you take more and unfortunately, you have to waste the remaining colour, but with the paint markers, you don’t face these problems open the cap and use it as required close.

Kids use pens and pencils from an early age. They know how to grip the pencils, so it’s easy for them to grip the paint pens. That is the reason teachers recommend using such pens in art class.

Ensure to choose pens that are easy and simple to use. Stango acrylic paint pens only require you to shake it well, press down the nib on the paper or another surface until the paint comes down to the nib’s tip and flows with the colours.

How to Use

Step 1:

In the beginning, you have to shake your required colour paint pen very well so the colour can come to the nib easily.

Step 2:

Then you have to press the nib of your paint pen for a while so it can work unstoppable. If you see that the colour is coming out of the nib, this indicator shows that your colour paint pen is ready, and you can apply it on the canvas in the way you want.

Step 3:

The base covering with a paint pen is an essential part of your work. So make sure to apply the correct amount of Acrylic paint colours to give it the best coverage.

Be careful when applying colours at the base part because it cannot be removed once done.

Now you know how easy the procedure is to use these pens if you know the correct steps.

Some pens come with reversible nibs or tips, so you get the use of two different style nibs at once. This idea is good, but it is warned they are fiddly. Because it can be messy turning the nibs around when they are wet.

There is also a danger that the nibs may get damaged while trying to reverse them. For young children, it is not recommended to allow them to switch the nibs as they cannot change and can be dropped.

Stango provides 18 pens in a set with an extra-fine tip that helps you work better and efficiently.

After finishing your project, keep your pens horizontally as this helps the paint flow the next time you use your pens and helps prevent the risk from drying out.

6. Achievable Techniques

Effectiveness on acrylic paint is as good as the quality of the paint itself and the pigment level it carries. So as well as the paint, the tip or the quality of the nib will also have a significant role.

A high-quality paint pen can be used to create unique effects.

i. Layering

• It can apply one colour on top of another colour. Once the first coat of paint gets dry, a new colour can easily lay over the top of it. It is easier because acrylic paints dry quickly on porous surfaces.
• Good acrylic paint gives the opaque meaning that usually requires only one layer. However, you have a dark surface like a rock, which may require another layer to cover it.
• To make things easier, you can begin to paint with white over the dark object to act as an undercoat so you can easily apply other colourful layers on it. The upper coats will sit nicely on the undercoat and give sparkle having the white base underneath them.

Applying a basecoat is a popular technique amongst artists, even the object is a light colour.

ii. Blending

• Despite being fast-drying, acrylic paint markers can be easily used to blend colours to make new colours. Moreover, it supervises advanced users as it needs to be done while the paint is wet.
• Blending gives you the advantage to make more colours that go beyond the colours you get in your pack of pens to start with. It also gives an opportunity to don’t buy the colours you don’t need. If you have a nice collection of colours to begin your work, you should not blend too often.

iii. Outlining

• To add borders and outline to your artwork, you need a super-fine nib for this. The thickness of the nib depends on the size of your design and how thin an outline you need.
• According to common beliefs, acrylic paint pens do not allow the best option for outlining your design. Because the thinner nib pens are not accurate enough for detailed artwork, because they are much thinner they tend to be weaker than the thicker nibs, and they fray easily on rough surfaces.

A fine nib will give you a consistent flow with a smooth action.

Stango acrylic paint pens are made with highly-pigmented paint, durable nibs and offer you 0.7mm fine tip.

7. Colour Range and Finish

With good quality paint, you will need vibrant colours that enhance your artwork. However, if your colour contains too much water, it will destructively affect the vibrancy of the colours as well as the capability to layer the paint effectively.

You need a set of pens with a good range of colours to efficiently do your art project and only blend new colours when you need to.

Acrylic paint paints only dry to gloss or matte. So if you want some spark, then go with gloss, or if you prefer elegant and straightforward, you will have to pick a matte one.

If you are decorating some gifts, cards or decoration pieces, you can go with silver and golden markers. They will give a sparkle to your celebrations.
