Hi All,
I've never used these or even heard of them before, but my son just ordered some to use along with his airbrushing. After reading about them and seeing the pictures that can be made with them (they look like they blend and mix well) I thought they may work for colorizing granite and marble photos. I'm going to try them when they get here but.... I was just wondering if anyone else has tried them?? and if yes do they work?
Below copy is a description of them from one of the sites selling them:
Uni Posca Paint Markers
Contains Non Toxic Water Base Paint. Mark on metal, wood, glass, plastic, plaster, canvas and more. Excellent for signs exposed to the weather. Great for temporarily marking up glass windows.
Popular with surfboard painters.
Used extensively by Auto Dealers to mark windows with advertisements. Also used by auto body shop estimators to map out repairs on vehicles.
Markers are removable from non porous, sealed surfaces like glass, car bodies, chalkboards.
Opaque, water based acrylic paint is non toxic and acid free. Odorless, lightfast, Xylene free, lead free and waterproof when dry. Will bond permanently to wood, clay pots, poster board, plaster and other porous materials.
Attached is an illustration by a surf board designer Drew Brophy who uses them (so you can see the colors and blending properties)
Once I try them I will let you all know. They don't sell them at Michaels :( so I need to wait till they are delivered.
