POSCA Markers

Achieve stunning results on canvas with Posca Markers paint markers. The dense pigment of these pens gives a smooth finish to your work and allows for a range of tried and tested drawing techniques.

These pens can also be used on wood, glass, fabric and paper. The new POSCA PENCIL and POSCA PASTELS ranges add even more creative possibilities to this versatile product.

Tips for Using Posca Markers Effectively

These pens are lightfast, meaning they are not prone to fading over time. However, it is difficult to find any information on the exact amount of fade resistance that these pens provide. This is in contrast to professional acrylic markers which will often state the ‘lightfastness’ of their colors.

There are a total of eight different POSCA marker sizes to choose from ranging from the very fine 0.7mm 1MR to the extra broad 17mm chisel tip (PC-17K). Despite their size, they all offer the same great paint quality with the exception of the PC-5M, which has a very large rounded bullet tip. The chisel tip allows for neat curves and is very popular with Street Artists for creating their signature work, large italic style handwriting and large format work. These pens are great for sketching and are easily transported due to their small and compact size. They are also ideal for customising your personal possessions; from a tote bag to your trainers!
