Activating Graphik Line Painter Pens

• Shake for 20 seconds or until the pigment has mixed
• Remove the lid and push the nib down on your paper and hold for two seconds - do this only once
• Keep the pen in an upright position
• Be patient; the paint will flow through to the nib. You will see it drop down and colour the nib; then, you are ready to draw
• If the paint fails to flow to the nib, repeat the process, but never pump the nib up and down unless you want to flood it

Use on Different Surfaces

The Line Painters can be used on many types of surfaces, including wood, textiles and glass. Everyday objects such as canvas shoes, photo frames and Christmas baubles can be transformed into bright, vibrant art pieces. The painting pens can be used in conjunction with the Graphik Line Makers, with the dark tones complementing the bright colours, helping to add depth and the all-important detail.

Water-soluble

The paint is water-soluble when wet and, once dry, becomes permanent and can be worked over to create added hues and tints without damaging the colour. The pen's smooth finish and vibrant colour help add character to a painting.

Fine Art or a Modern Twist

Colour can be moved across the page, and stimulating effects are created by blowing the paint while wet on the paper, flicking paint onto the paper from the pen's nib or using the Derwent technique brushes or water brushes to create a variety of different marks.

Extremely Versatile

The colourful, opaque paint can be concentrated for texture, and detailed fine lines and colours are blocked to cover large surfaces quickly.
