A Good Sign: Brighten Up The Neighbourhood With Paint Pens / Markers - Part One
After seeing so much disrepair, unkempt lawns and weedy gardens (not just ours), it seemed like a fun idea to start brightening things up around our home's exterior. This is just one project that I will be sharing with you, I have already posted the projects on Instagram @a_bergie_creation and at my Heartfully Creating group page if you want a sneak peek. Below is part one of my video about the project....
Watch Part One Right Down Below
As you will see I have been enjoying colourful acrylic paint pens (sorry, still not done all the paint pen reviews). And after my husband Craig sanded up some pieces of old wood, originally to be used in my paint pen reviews, I spontaneously started a Welcome sign for the front of our home. So, here is part one of the process creating this very fun and colourful sign, My hope is to not only show you how well affordable (Not
Posca) paint pens work on wood surfaces.

Materials required:
A pencil
Paint Pens (I used Aroic, Toole-Art, Artistro and Ohuhu pens -mostly .07mm and a few 3mm)
Gesso or white paint or acrylic paint pens
Polyurethane or some such finish to protect from outdoor elements
I did coat the slightly sanded reclaimed wood with white acrylic paint or gesso. And then lightly penciled in some letters that I turned into characters. But I did not pre-plan it all. This took a long time because I really enjoyed tweaking the characters and layering and changing colours.
If it is going outside, apparently oil paint pens are more durable but, I didn't have any until today so I coated the surface with Polycrylic -polyurethane.

Affordable Acrylic Paint Pens - Rock Test, Aroic, Tooli-Art, Flymax, Artistro, Ohuhu: Review Pt 1
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.
