The 4Artist by Pébéo is an oil-based marker with a round tip. It produces an opaque, glossy and very lightfast finish. It allows precise drawing on most surfaces: canvas, paper, cardboard, wood, metal, plastic, glass, ceramic, porcelain, plaster, mineral materials, etc. Ideal for mixed media techniques, the 4Artist Marker can be used with fine arts and graphic arts paints (oil, acrylic, ink, etc.), or Pébéo's specialised paints such as Ceramic, Vitrail, Gédéo resins and Prism and Moon effect paints. We recommend applying a coat of Bindex or 4Artist varnish to the paint before applying the marker.To achieve splatter or drip effects, the wick should be "over-soaked" with paint and then shaken. These effects are best achieved with the 8 mm and 15 mm wicks. After using the marker for these effects, wipe the wick holder clean and regulate the paint flow.An excellent creative tool for professionals, artisans, students and beginner or advanced hobbyists!Note: Results will be less glossy on porous surfaces. To avoid loss of shine on these surfaces, we recommend applying a coat of Bindex or water-based varnish. The 4Artist Marker must be primed before first use. To do this, shake the marker firmly with the cap on. Then, on a sheet of paper, press the tip several times to soak the paper with paint.
