Thank you again! Posca should be paying you for this as you are doing a brilliant job of explaining these pens in detail.

Through trial and error I’ve also landed on smooth Bristol as an excellent option for poscas. I’m currently using Canson XL smooth Bristol. Strathmore 400 marker paper also works well. Unfortunately the paper does peel a bit sometimes. I bought some expensive watercolor hot press paper to try to see if I get better results, but I’m scared to use it 😂.

Thanks for the Canson XL Smooth Bristol recommendation! Glad to hear it works well with your Poscas, as well as the Strathmore 400 marker paper. Good luck with your hot press watercolor paper. Let me know how it goes! 😃🎨🌟

if you’re in the uk Gecko paper is the best for poscas

Great video! Thank you for showing how to refill the pens. Posca only offers turquoise in the 8k size, so I’ve been trying to concoct my own using acrylic inks/high flow acrylic in a smaller empty marker. I don’t mind the limited color range most of the time, except for wanting more blue-greens :). I’d like something a little more blue than their emerald green that’s available in most sizes.

Thanks for your comment! 💖 Glad it was helpful to see how to refill Posca pens! That's cool that you've been experimenting with creating your own turquoise. You could check out Montana's color range to see if anything is a close match. I like that the Montana paint refills are matte, just like the Poscas, so they work well together. 😊

great video

Do you know if need to gesso for canvas panels?

Most canvas panels are pre-primed, so whether you add a coat of gesso is a matter of personal preference. I find that if I don't gesso the canvas panel, the paint markers tend to look a bit more "watery" than they do if I paint a coat of gesso on it first. So I do prefer to gesso canvas panels before painting on them with paint markers, so the colors look more opaque and vibrant. Hope this helps! 😊

@@thaneeya I don’t want to invest in gesso but I want to use paint markers on all of my blank canvas panels I’ve had sitting in storage for years now. 😓 do they peel after drying from the “watery” form? Do you know how long the paint markers last on canvas panels? Is it better to spray varnish/ brush varnish or leave it bare when finished?

@thaneeya

I think you should give it a try (without gesso) and see how it goes. 😊 You might like how it looks! No, the paint shouldn't peel off. Posca doesn't publish information about lightfastness, so I don't know how long the colors are supposed to last. I would recommend using a spray varnish. I've heard that the brush-on varnish can smear the Posca paint, so I've never tried it. Some people spray on a few coats of varnish (letting each layer dry before spraying another layer), and that enables them to successfully apply a brush-on varnish without the Posca smearing. Depending on your preference, that might be overkill, but it's something to keep in mind.
