Sweet! I just bought 57 new poscas because JoAnn's (online only) had them for 50% off and I had 20% on top of that so they were $1.60 each.🥳🥳👏👏 I can't wait to make some custom colors. Thanks 💗

You Rock! I’m stoked the video helped. That’s my goal. Posca, to my knowledge only makes acrylic paint markers. I hope I’m wrong so correct me if I am. The best oil based paint pens in my opinion is sharpie. Their colors and opacity seem to be the best. I don’t use oil pens often, so take my oil pen thoughts lightly. Have fun. Stay inspired aloha 🤙🏼

Amazing!! Love these! If I can offer a little advice, you definitely don’t need to beat the nib of pen against something to prime it. You can gently push it down a few times and it will prime and be much easier on your nib. Thanks for your hard work. It’s appreciated

Yes they are. I have refilled my pc 1m from the big 15k when I’ve gotten low on new pens. It’s the same process for mixing as well. Just smaller components on the 1m. Hope this helps!

I have tried twisting in both directions. Did they change the design of their new pens or something? Or is it just stuck on really tight? I even got pliers and now the plastic is slightly damaged 🙃 but still functional I have water brushes that also twist the opposite direction. I'm suspicious It's so that it's not as easy to take off concerning most people in the world are right-handed.

I know where I messed up. Posca IS the Acrylic and the other video was Vs. Oil Base. Blonde Moment. Sorry.

I don't usually comment on anything much, but I just had to say thanks and give you some support. Firstly, great to see someone else trying to mix POSCA pens. So good when you don't have the colour you want. You had some really good ideas - I particularly like the mug idea (ask me how I know!!!) Secondly, a question. I've tried to do the same with the brush pens, cos I really like the brushes but they only come in 4 or 5 colours. Have you ever used the POSCA brushes? I can't seem to get them to come apart like the others. Anyway - thanks.

Posca does make a pretty dark red. I think they make a total of 3 red variants. It’s hard to make a Posca darker without making it to dark. Try 1 small drop of black at a time. If you go to dark you won’t be able to get it brighter without adding a ton of paint. Good luck!

It’s a lot harder to get individual pens than it is to get a set. What colors are you having trouble getting? What colors do you need? Don’t get frustrated with having a hard time getting POSCA pens.

To refill a posca pen which is empty can I dilute acrylic paint to refill? Or do I need to buy a special ink?

@WelzieArt

2 жыл бұрын

Good question. I haven’t tried diluting acrylic paint to put in a posca pen. My guess it would be to thick to get out of the pen tip. If you dilute it it might end up being too watery. If you can dilute acrylic paint to the same consistency it might work. It’s worth a try because you’re out of posca ink anyway. Some paint pen brands do have refill ink available. Posca does not. Often the pen tips don’t last much longer than the amount of ink in them. I wish posca did sell refills. Aloha. Hope this helps 🤙🏼

Sometimes the tips just dry out and the paint in the pen is still ok. You can check by taking off the cap, holding your thumb over the opening and flipping the pen upside down. If we’re paint is on your finger you will know it’s just a dried tip. Pull the tip out and rinse and soak in water till the dried ink is out. Then try again. This is a last ditch effort but it might work. If the tip is toast you can always get another unused pen and put it on the dried tip one. Good luck!
