How to Paint With Sharpie Paint Pens

Skip messy brushes by using a Sharpie Paint Pen.

Using a Sharpie Paint Pen to create art gives you the superior handling of a pen with the effect of paint on the paper. The paint in the Paint Pen is oil based and will stain fabrics and surfaces, but the paint will not bleed through paper or run off because it gives a thick, smooth application. The paint shows up on almost any surface, even wood, whether it's light or dark, and is resistant to water, fading and abrasion.
