Paint Markers

Paint markers are marker pens that write in paint. It sounds obvious, but people often assume it's some sort of ink that looks like paint, rather than real paint. Most paint markers write in actual oil-based paint, though some are water-based paint or acrylic paint.

Worthy of special note here:

• Uni POSCA markers use water-based paint, so they can be a bit more removeable than most paint markers, but they're a bit easier to use too. The wide range of tip sizes and colours makes them very popular for art and craft purposes too, including graffiti art (See Miss Wah's art for some great examples), and decorating almost anything - see the official POSCA website for ideas.
• Edding have a particularly good range of sizes and colours in real oil-based paint markers.
• There are even paint markers for calligraphy - the Sakura Pen-Touch Calligraphy marker has an italic-cut tip so you can paint your calligraphy permanently onto all sorts of surfaces.
