How-To Use Paint Pens

CRAFT

In this How-To, Artist Julie Orr teaches you how to get the most use out of paint pens. There are two types of paint pens: oil-based and water-based. Water-based pens are better for porous materials while oil-based pens work better on surfaces such as glass or plastic. You'll want to make sure that you thoroughly shake paint pens before using them to get the paint ready for application. Learn more tips for using paint pens by watching Julie's How-To.
