Posca pens are awesome..

Posca pens are awesome...plain & simple. I will re-interate what someone else said about using ANY kind of paint pen because I think this is invaluable information. PAINT PENS LEAK IF NOT STARTED PROPERLY!!!! Many people complain of paint pens leaking big blobs after the fist couple of uses. It's a real issue! Here's the trick (at least as far as I know)... SHAKE THE PEN LIKE CRAZY. HOLD THE PEN UPRIGHT . PUT IT UP TO YOUR EAR, THEN HOLD DOWN THE NIB WITH YOUR FINGER TIP OR FINGER NAIL. YOU WILL HEAR A LITTLE CLICK & HISS. HOLD IT DOWN FOR 10 SECONDS. (Yes, count to 10 SLOWLY.) THEN FLIP THE PEN AND VERY GRADUALLY WORK THE PAINT INTO THE FRESH NIB BY PRESSING DOWN HALF WAY. BE GENTLE. BE PATIENT. LITTLE PRESSES UNTIL YOU SEE THE PAINT HAS FILLED THE NIB AND PAINT IS SHOWING UP FULL COLOR ON YOUR PAPER. Voila! That is it. Now the pen shouldn't "blob"!

I'm obsessed

I've been using paint markers for years. I always went for elmers, hobby lobby's off brand or sharpie brand. These blow every other paint marker out of the water! Wow...I'm very impressed. The color comes out in seconds, vs. every other brand it takes about a minute to get the color flow. The colors are gorgeous & vibrant. I will definitely be buying ONLY these from now on. The elmers brand the tip likes to fall out, which is not good while you are working on a painting! If you are questioning buying these, I highly suggest these! I'm hooked. I attached a picture of some mini bookmarks I painted using only these markers so you can see how awesome they are!

Love!

A.Mazing. Our community started a rock painting Facebook page and I jumped on board. I'm no amazing artist so using paints and a brush proved difficult. My daughter and I received these paint pens earlier today and have been painting all night! Absolutely recommend them. A word of advice though: to get the pens started, push down gently 3 times then wait. The tip will fill up. If you do it a 4th time you'll have a huge blob come out. And don't push down while painting or the same will occur. Use it like a regular marker.

Really nice colors and ink

I love anything to do with color. Recently I started buying things to do finger nail art. I am a water paint artist and glass artist. I was looking for something that I could use that would give me better outlines when painting in miniature. I saw these pens and decided to give them a try. The price was reasonable. I did read the mixed reviews. Yes, the instructions are in Japanese and I can't read them, but how many American products are translated into Japanese. I decided to try all of them to make sure they worked. I found that if you don't want them to gush out some ink or whatever it is when you try to get the color flowing, you should first take all of them out of the box. Shake one back and forth a few times and then put it back in the box with point end standing up. Then after you have repeated this with all the pens, take the 1st one you shook turn it over and very lightly and I mean lightly, press it down on a paper just about 1 or 2mm, no more, Do it once and then a second time, then wait. The ink will slowly start to flow onto the point of the pen. It starts out as white and then slowly the color changes. You can now test it with a lite touch. If you press hard the ink will gush out. It will also do that if you shake it and immediately use it as you should allow the ink to settle and not all be in the tip. I know from experience. Put the cover on well and it shouldn't dry out. The tip is not felt but a material that if firm and won't absorb the ink, just enough .The ink is a nice consistency. It appears to be ink. It dries very fast and on paper it is a matt finish as well as on nails. I put a clear coat over it and then it had a gloss finish. It does cover well as it is opaque. I bought another set that has the extra fine tip and am looking forward to getting it.

Nice colors, using them to paint on rocks

Nice colors, using them to paint on rocks. I have not had any issues with the colors bleeding when sprayed with a clear coat.

Precision and ease

I bought these pens to paint rocks with my 5 year old. The initial flow when you first use the pen is a but much, so definitely recommend starting it on something other than your project. After that, you're good to go. Great for detailed work, writing, and a nice assortment of colors. We will certainly be purchasing again.

There's a trick to get these not to leak the first time you use them!

There's a trick to getting these pens not to leak globs of paint everywhere when you first get them. You have to hold the pen with the point upwards, towards the ceiling, push the nib in with your finger, you'll hear a small amount of air escape, like a hissing sound. Then turn back over and press repeatedly onto paper to get the paint going. If you don't do this, globs will come out and go everywhere! Happened to me and lots of paint was wasted. But they work great once you get them going correctly.

Excellent for Stone Painting

We use these paint pens for our hobby of painting smooth river stones, and they are terrific. The tips are firm and don't fray. The only caution I would give is that you get the best and smoothest line if you 'pull' the pen toward you. If you 'push' the line away from you (as you would if you're writing the letter "O"), you will get some feathering unless you ease up on the pressure. Or, if you are drawing, just turn the stone so you are drawing the pen toward you rather than pushing it away from you. We have these pens in the Extra Fine point, the Fine point, and the Medium point, and we seldom use the tiny brushes anymore. These pens allow us (and even our 92 year old Nana) to do fine detail work, and we love them! Note: We always put a spray coat of sealer on our stones to protect the artwork.

Love these paint pens

I was amazed by these paint pens! They don't have large blobs of paint that plop out as you're using it. Ive had so much fun with all the colors and love he control and fine lines and coverage! I just can't say enough great things about them!

Love them!!

Just like my other Posca paint pens, these are bright, vivid colors that work on just about every medium you apply them to. My set is complete and I can't wait to get started using them on hope rocks and greeting cards. (To bring the paint down into the nib, shake pen to the count of 10, then press nib repeatedly into paper until you see the paint. I didn't know this with my first set and thought they were duds.)
