Permanent Art Markers

Sets of Permanent Markers

We would recommend getting started with a marker set if you are new to the scene. Getting yourself a permanent marker set with some fundamental colours will help you to get started on the right foot. What you will notice when you begin using permanent markers is the way in which they make a gorgeously glossy, opaque, and high pigment line or shading that has great covering and staying power. Find some great sets with primary colours or even metallics.

Oil Based Permanent Pens

The oil based permanent markers can be used on all smooth, non-porous surfaces. There are lots of different tip sizes and shapes available here, depending on what kind of art project you have in mind. We would recommend these pens not only for drawing and for making finishing touches on other art pieces, but also for fine writing and calligraphy. There are some excellent fine and extra fine tipped permanent marker pens in this range that will allow you to be as precise and intricate as your imagination and your hands allow!

Mixed Media & Effects

Permanent art markers are a great tool for mixed media artists to have around. Allowing you to be able to apply colour to a variety of surafces such as canvas, paper, board, wood, metal, plastic, glass, ceramic and more. Plus, they work on a range of differen paints and mediums including oils, acrylics, inks and even other specialist paints.

It's not just the variety of surfaces and mediums that is impressive. Also the range of effects that can be achieved. Thicker markers are great for flat washes of colour, chiselled edges offer the flexibility of wide to narrow lines, thinner tips provide excellent detail. Even, with some of the brands (such as Pebeo 4Artist markers) you can oversoak the tips and use them for a splattering or dripping effects.
