Painters Tip
Quick Study Medium
I have found that permanent magic markers are a wonderful medium for painting studies. They look like watercolor when they dry and they are quick and easy to use, easy to transport, and they last a long time. You don't need any water or brushes. They can be used just about anywhere and be carried in a small tote bag with a small watercolor paper pad. These days they come in sophisticated palettes of subtle colors. Gone are the days of the bright primary colors only. You can make fine lines to thick washes with the same marker. Overlapping of colors is also possible.
I use the ChartPak brand. HERE
They are wonderful and come in lots of colors, including many subtle grays. They are also nontoxic.
The next time you want to do quick thumbnail paintings, try markers instead of paint.
