Pébéo 4Artist paint marker, 15 mm flat tip

Make broad bands, large lettering and opaque colour fields with one Pébéo 4Artist oil-based paint marker. This version has a 15 mm flat tip and glossy, lightfast paint. Choose one marker in black, white, metallic gold or metallic silver; this is not a four-marker set.

Broad bands and large lettering

The broad flat face suits substantial letter strokes and filling larger shapes. Turn the tip for a narrower stroke, but choose a smaller marker for very fine detail. The line depends on tip angle and paint flow: 15 mm is the tip size. Black and white provide contrast; gold and silver add a metallic accent.

Prime and control the marker

Shake firmly with the cap closed until the mixing ball moves. Before first use, press the tip several times on scrap paper until it takes up paint. Test flow on spare material and start on your work only once the stroke is controlled. Avoid pumping excessive paint into the tip.

Draw two small rectangles on spare material matching your actual surface. Fill the first with parallel strokes beside one another and the second with slightly overlapping strokes. Let them dry and compare banding, coverage and gloss. Record colour and surface so you can choose the overlap before filling a larger area.

Combine surfaces and layers

Use on surfaces including canvas, paper, cardboard, wood, metal, plastic and glass. Porous surfaces absorb binder and may give a less glossy result. A suitable coat of Bindex or water-based varnish can isolate the surface; test the complete build-up on a spare piece first.

Combine with dry acrylic or oil paintings and mixed media. An isolating coat of Bindex or 4Artist Marker varnish can help between painting and marker. Stroke lightly over the lower layer: the marker’s solvent can reactivate paint, especially with pressure or insufficient drying. For blending or removal on smooth, non-porous surfaces, use the separate 4Artist medium and test first. Protect finished work with the appropriate 4Artist Marker varnish.

Care and safe working

Close the cap carefully and store horizontally. Ventilate the workspace, avoid eye contact and follow medium and varnish labels too. Drying depends on thickness and surface; touch-dry colour can still be affected by solvent. Auxiliaries and test surface are not included.
