| Markers, felt-tip pens, liners, text highlighters and so on are some of
accessories used for color applying. Markers and felt-tip pens, in a technical sense, can be very different depending on applicability which manufacturers give to felt-tip pens and markers. There are markers assigned for drawing on different surfaces, and many markers are classified as specified for one or another of surfaces. But markers and felt-tip pens, in a fine arts sense irrespective of technical applicability and names, can be classified as follows: firstly – by paint types; secondly – by colors; thirdly – by sizes and forms and designs of drawing tips, and also by materials of which drawing tips are made. Types of a paint in felt-tip pens and markers depend on solvent characteristics. There can be felt-tip pens on water or alcohol or other basis if to see in inscriptions which are available on felt-tip pens. But actually solvents can not be authentically identified, as there are felt-tip pens which have identical type of solvent but have different characteristics. For example, manufacturers can specify that felt-tip pens have the alcohol basis but if these felt-tip pens are made by different manufacturers then the alcohol basis in a paint of one manufacturer can have other characteristics rather than at other manufacturer. Therefore it is better to do assumptions on types of a paint of those or other felt-tip pens and markers according to a smell (odor). Namely it is possible to analyze smells of paints and to compare smells of familiar and unfamiliar felt-tip pens. If smells are similar then art characteristics of felt-tip pens too are similar. And if the paint of any felt-tip pens has a specific smell then it is possible to assume that these felt-tip pens have original type of a paint and have original colorful effect. It means that markers artistic effect can be determine with help of the paint odor. Types of tips of felt-tip pens and markers can have different mechanical structures and can be made of different materials, that in essence has no basic value as from the art point of view artists consider strokes which can be executed by means of those or other felt-tip pens irrespective of concrete technical designs. Namely there can be felt-tip pens and markers having different structures of drawing tips but if it is possible to draw identical strokes by means of these felt-tip pens then in essence these felt-tip pens are same. It means that the tip type determines stroke which can be executed. Colors of felt-tip pens and markers are unpredictable. Black felt-tip pens (black according to definition of manufacturers) actually can have dark blue or red color which is latent in black color. Red felt-tip pens can have shades of dark blue color, and dark blue felt-tip pens can have shades of green color. Sets of multi-colored felt-tip pens actually can be sets of other colors rather than colors specified by manufacturers. In essence it is impossible to classify colors and paints of felt-tip pens and consequently art displays of different sorts of felt-tip pens and markers on a graphic surface can not be foreseen. It is the main difference of drawing by felt-tip pens and markers from other kinds of drawing. Now it is impossible to classify colors and paints of markers and felt-tip pens. It is not possible to practice pictorial art (painting)
with felt-tip pens and markers because a pictorial art is attempt to
transfer real world object’s color with help of paints on a picture
surface that can be achieved only by accurate mixing of color shades
(hues), but mix colors of felt-tip pens is inexpedient. As any sets of
multi-colored felt-tip pens are not intended for mixing paints that does
not allow to search for necessary shades. Felt-tip pens and markers can be applicable for abstract drawings, and also for abstract painting or graphic arts where felt-tip pens can be a surprising art material. As any realization of color occurs inadvertently, namely beforehand it is impossible to expect consequences which can be as a result of application of those or other felt-tip pens or markers, and consequently there can not be preliminary art plan. Only it is possible to assume some sketch or outline, but process of drawing or painting by means of felt-tip pens and markers appears inexplicable. It can be considered as experiments with color which is possible for taking from unpredictable art materials. I mixed colors of various felt-tip pens and markers, and I tried to
search for necessary color compositions, and I came to conclusion that
my drawings became hopelessly spoiled. Namely I imposed colors on colors
and as a result images became dark, and something reminded a black
square. As characteristics of paints in felt-tip pens and markers did
not allow, as they say to paint over and draw anew, and consequently
impressions from combinations of colors seem irreparable. |

When some type of paints can not be washed out by alcohol we can use acetone (dimethyl
ketone) or other chemical solvent taking into account that different chemical solvents
have different effect on different paints of markers and felt-tip pens.
It is possible to experiment colors and paints, namely it is possible to choose
various assortment from huge quantity of existing felt-tip pens and markers, and
also it is possible to choose necessary solvents. Sometimes as a result of
experiments I have drawings which have desirable combinations of colors and do
not demand any further changes.
However, it is possible to continue experiments with the same drawing infinitely
while the paper suffers.
As a result of dissolution some paints of felt-tip pens and markers there is a
second drawing on paper back side (additional image appears on paper back side as a result of marker paint
dissolving), namely paints impregnate a paper and are shown on the back side of
a sheet as a second drawing which does not depend on desires of the artist and
can not be preliminary foreseen, but can be successful or unsuccessful.
Drawing on paper back depends on paints by which drawing on paper face is
executed, but in the greater degree drawings depend on type of a paper as paints
impregnate different types of a paper differently. And also drawing on paper
face can turn out successful or unsuccessful as a result of dissolution by
alcohol or acetone depending on the chosen type of a paper.
It is possible to experiment and choose a paper from huge assortment existing
now. In essence the paper has influencing value on results which can be achieved
during drawing by felt-tip pens and markers, and the paper can not be bad or
good but the paper can be applied successfully or unsuccessfully.
There may be variety of experiments with the paper too. It is because paper
content is variable value and there are many paper types existing today.
Besides paints of felt-tip pens and markers can be erased or wiped from a
surface of a paper by means of dry wadded tampons as sometimes paints are
absorbed in a paper in part and form a colorful layer on a surface, and to tell
more truly, a layer of the dried paint or the thickened paint which have
remained after evaporation of solvent.
Such dried or thickened layers of paints can be removed from a surface of a
paper by means of deleting by a dry wadded tampon. But provided that the
thickened paints can be erased only in some cases when the paint has thickened
not finally, and dry paints can be erased in any case. Therefore if the
thickened paint is imposed on a layer of a dried paint then as a result of
deleting by a dry wadded tampon together with a dry paint it is possible to
remove the thickened paint from a surface of a paper.
In result it is possible to create interesting combinations of the dry and
thickened paints, but it is expedient to apply dry deleting for removal of
superfluous inflows of paints from a surface of a paper. Namely if you tried to
draw with felt-tip pens then you noticed that strokes of felt-tip pens
form ugly inflows during imposing one on another. These inflows can be sometimes
erased by means of dry cotton wool.
Sometimes there can be big enough effort which is necessary for influence on a
paper and is necessary for deleting inflows, but the applied effort should be
commensurated with a paper to not peel a surface.
If paper has high density and good fibrous structure then very big effort can be
applied, but nevertheless if paints were absorbed in a paper then such paints
cannot be removed by means of dry deleting and then dissolution by alcohol or
acetone is necessary to apply.
Dry wiping is successful with different type and different color paints when multiple
overlapping took place. But if paints penetrated into paper the dry wiping is impossible.
Manufacturers of felt-tip pens and markers, and also manufacturers of a paper do
not suspect how their products will be used, as it is difficult to assume that
people will rub a paper with cotton wool, and will wet by alcohol or acetone.
And also it is difficult to assume that markers are made for drawing
inscriptions on boards of spaceships or on cases of submarines, but these
markers can have surprising art characteristics.
Nevertheless, manufacturers create felt-tip pens and markers which unexpectedly
well approach for use outside of their industrial applicability.
There are special art felt-tip pens and art markers, but in essence it is the
same adaptations for drawing colors as well as technical felt-tip pens and
markers for which initially manufacturers put tasks far from art.
The big assortment of felt-tip pens and markers results from an industrial
competition. For example, if a Chinese firm tried to copy a Japanese firm, but a
Chinese firm has not put any component in a paint then the Chinese felt-tip pen
can be worse utilitarian as can leak and soil hands, but from the art point of
view such felt-tip pen is unique.
Use of unfamiliar felt-tip pens becomes unexpected game in which colorful
effects are not known and are not predicted in peripetias of modern industrial
excesses. However, if any felt-tip pens become familiar, namely if art effects
of these felt-tip pens are known then beforehand conceived image is possible to
try to receive.
If you take into account art effects of felt-tip pens and markers you may
receive previously planned image.
