In 2009 I joined Twitter and met many amazing artists, designers and doodlers from the UK. When I asked what materials they used on a drawing, \u201cPosca\u201d was a popular reply. I learned these water based paint markers are readily available in the UK the way a Sharpie is in the US. Soon after I purchased my first set of Posca markers and was hooked; these markers are very opaque and have vibrancy unlike any other I\u2019ve ever used.<\/p>\n

When I first started exhibiting my Posca paintings, I would list \u201cPosca\u201d as one of my media, but I would always get asked, \u201cwhat\u2019s a Posca?\u201d Later I just wrote \u201cwater-based medium\u201d on my descriptions, but if anyone wanted to know specifically what I used to create a certain painting I would fill them in on these amazing markers and where to buy them online. Over the years I have developed my own techniques with these amazing markers.<\/p>\n

The water based paint marker market continues to grow; there are many brands to choose from such as Molotow, Montana, Zig Posterman and Liquitex, to name a few. Molotow and Montana offer paint refill systems, which is a great feature, but Poscas remain my favorite. The markers are unique in their opaqueness and eye-popping colors. If you would like to learn more about using Posca pens I recommend drewbrophy.com<\/a> where you can buy markers and even a dvd.<\/p>\n

More about Posca and other water based paint markers in future posts. If you have any questions or tips on using water based markers feel free to post a comment.<\/p>\n
