Pébéo 4Artist oil-based paint marker sets, 2 markers

Draw outlines, write lettering and add highlights with two Pébéo 4Artist oil-based paint markers. The paint has a glossy, opaque finish and excellent lightfastness. Choose one duo: two white markers with different tips, or black and white with matching tip sizes.

Choose colour contrast or two tip sizes

• White, 2 mm + 8 mm: two complete white markers, one with a 2 mm round tip and one with an 8 mm chisel tip. Combine fine details with broader strokes and areas.
• Black and white, 4 mm: two complete markers, one black and one white, both with 4 mm round tips. Suits contrasting outlines and rounded letterforms.

The white duo keeps the colour consistent while you switch stroke size. The black-and-white duo keeps the tip size consistent while you switch colour. Millimetres describe the tips; pressure, angle, surface and paint flow affect the line.

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.

On spare material matching your surface, draw the same letter with both markers. With the white duo, compare the fine line with the broad face and edge of the chisel tip. With black and white, compare visibility on light and dark backgrounds. Let the paint dry before working over a line.

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.
