Happy 2021 everyone! I've started out this new year by trying out a gorgeous paint set from Artistro. In no way is this sponsored. Of course I loved the outside colour and the fact that so far all my Artistro cry paint pens have worked beautifully. So I thought for $29.99 Canadian on Amazon.ca, why not try it. So here is a longer video talking about the paint set and the surprise contents! Then the rest is just me swatching out the colours and talking about watercolour painting and art related topics. A bit of a vlog if you will.
Hi guys! How are you all doing during this most abnormal season? I am guessing for many of you, making more art or trying various art making techniques for the first time is something you have been
doing lately. Considering the world has been under siege by an unknown virus, unable to carry out life as usual- makes sense that we'd all be trying new things whilst locked down. Well acrylic paint pens have been a new tool in my art making supply stash. Are you like me, hooked on art supply collecting? It is even worse since shopping online with Amazon, is way to easy.
Might as well make the most of it and create. How will we know if we like a certain art supply if we don't try it. If you've been around here you will know that Acrylic paint pens are my new supply to try and use. Wanting to see online reviews of affordable paint pens has been difficult, so I decided to try an array of pens so I can create a bunch of video reviews on each brand so others may benefit from them. Posca pens seem to be the only paint pens used over and over on YouTube, Well click here to see my only (so far) Posca experience.
Below is part one of my first part of a generalized review video covering five brands of Acrylic paint pens. In this video I tried the four out on a rock since these pens all say they work on all surfaces like rock, glass, plastic, fabric, basically anything non-porous. I use them on paper and card stock more than anything. I love them.

Hi guys! Happy, almost Spring time! Recently, I just purchased a few brands of acrylic paint markers from Amazon Canada. For decades I painted using acrylic paint from the tube. Stevenson was my choice brand. If you are new here, I am a visual artist who loves sharing all things creative and encouraging folks of all ages to create. In the past few years I have been focused mostly on creating with polymer clay, in 3-D. Due to my weak hands, the clay has been a challenge. That means I have to branch out or should I say, return to my original art making method, drawing and painting. Years ago I tried the Sharpie brand of oil paint pens. When they worked, they were great. But, they clogged or dried up too easily. That is the extra fine tips. So I gave up. Working on an easel on canvas with a palette and paint from tubes and jars is not a method I can return to. So to at least come close, I thought I would try the acrylic paint pens.
Which Ones To Use?
Well, there are so many brands on Amazon, I can't say. So I thought I would share what I discover here incase anyone else is interested in my discoveries. So far I am loving these great drawing instruments. Watch below to see my first review/discussion about the AROIC brand (click here to see them on Amazon).

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Creating!
Soon I will be reviewing a different brand.
