The Allure of Acrylic Markers

Now, let's shift gears and talk about acrylic markers. Acrylic markers are filled with acrylic paint, which is water-based. Unlike their alcohol-based cousins, they don't bleed through paper, making them a safer choice if you're working in a sketchbook or on delicate surfaces.

One example is the Molotow markersthese pens are among the most adaptable because they may be used on a wide variety of surfaces, including plastic, wood, fabric, and even terracotta.

Another perk of acrylic markers is their versatility. They work beautifully on a wide variety of surfaces, including canvas, wood, metal, and even glass! This opens up endless possibilities for art projects.

Acrylic markers offer bold and vibrant colors, and they dry to a lovely matte finish.

While they don't blend as easily as alcohol markers, you can still achieve some level of blending if you work quickly while the paint is still wet. Remember, practice makes perfect!

The dry time for acrylic markers is slightly longer, allowing for adjustments and changes before the final outcome. However, this might also lead to unintentional smudging if you're not careful.
