Properties and Usage of Acrylic Markers

       Acrylic marker, that is, acrylic pigment marker, is a kind of marker made of acrylic pigment. Its characteristics are mainly reflected in the following aspects.

1. Bright colours

      One of the characteristics of acrylic paint is bright colours. The vividness of the colours of acrylic markers is even better. The colours of acrylic markers remain vivid even in low light conditions.

2. Quick drying

      Another feature of acrylic markers is that they are quick drying. The paint applied to the paper dries quickly and does not easily penetrate the back of the paper. This makes it ideal for painting on surfaces that do not absorb moisture.

3. Water Resistant

     The pigments in acrylic markers are also highly resistant to water. Even in humid environments, the pigments are not prone to discolouration or fading. This makes acrylic markers perfect for painting outdoors and in watery environments.

4. Reusable

     An important feature of acrylic paints is that they are reusable. After a single use, the paint on an acrylic marker can be repainted with a new colour. This makes acrylic markers a very economical tool for painting.

 

 

 

         Acrylic markers can be used with different nibs and strokes as needed. The following are some of the commonly used types of nibs and strokes:

1. Round tip pen

       Round tip pens are suitable for drawing rounded lines. When painting, a round tip pen can be used to outline shapes and contours on the canvas, and can also be used to fill in colours.

2. Slant-tip pens

       Slant-tip pens are good for drawing slanted lines and shadows. When drawing, you can use a slant tip pen to outline shadows and lines to enhance the three-dimensional sense of the picture.

3. Dot Pen

       Dot pens are good for drawing dense dots. When painting, you can use a stippling pen to draw dense dots on the canvas to enhance the texture of the picture.

4. Flat Tip Pen

       Flat-tip pens are good for drawing flat lines. When painting, you can use a flat-tip pen to draw flat lines on the canvas to enhance the sense of hierarchy in the picture.

In conclusion, acrylic markers are colourful, quick-drying, water-resistant and reusable. These characteristics make acrylic markers a very practical and economical painting tool.
