With the cap on, shake the marker up and down to mix up the paint. Remove the cap. On a scrap surface, slowly depress the marker nib until the paint appears. Test the flow on your scrap surface. Keep a cloth handy for easy clean up or to absorb excess paint.

Yes. Before using your marker, Shake the marker well with the cap on to mix the paint. Then, press the nib down gently on scrap paper until the paint flows. This activates the valve system and ensures consistent paint flow.

Yes. The 8mm and 15mm markers feature reversible nibs, allowing you to switch between different edge shapes depending on your mark-making needs. The 8mm features both a bullet and a chisel nib. The 15mm has a dual-sided extra broad nib. Simply remove the nib, flip it, and reinsert it to use the alternate edge.

Prior to opening, Markers can be stored in any position. After opening, store your Liquitex Markers vertically with the cap on in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Replace caps after each use and ensure the caps are tightly sealed to prevent drying out. To prevent leakage, be sure to soak up excess paint from your nib before storing.

Liquitex Markers are designed to work on virtually any surface. Use them on: canvas, paper and cardboard, wood, glass, metal, plastic, fabric, stone, walls and murals. For the best results, surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of oils or dust.

Liquitex Markers are water-based and designed for versatility across a wide range of surfaces and materials. They offer long­lasting, permanent results on porous surfaces like wood, textiles and certain plastics and metals with no sealant required. For non­porous surfaces we recommend applying a sealant or fixative to ensure durability and prevent damage over time.

Liquitex nibs are long lasting for consistent line quality and like-new shape from start to finish.

Liquitex Markers are for all creative needs, all levels, all surfaces: home and work, hobbies and art. Creativity on point.

Yes. Because they use acrylic paint, colors can be layered once the previous layer has dried. This allows you to build up opacity, create highlights, or add fine details over painted areas.

If the marker releases too much paint, avoid pressing the nib too hard when priming. Test the flow on scrap paper first before applying to your artwork. Always store markers vertically to maintain balanced paint distribution. Once the excess paint has flowed through the nib, the marker should return to normal control.

Yes. If the nib becomes clogged or picks up pigment from other colors or surfaces, remove the nib carefully and rinse it with clean water until the paint loosens. Allow it to dry slightly, then reinsert and reprime the marker. Cleaning the nib can help restore smooth paint flow and prevent color contamination.

If the cap was left off and the nib has dried, try removing the nib and rinsing it with water to soften any dried paint. Then, reinsert the nib and prime the marker again. Because the markers contain acrylic paint, keeping the cap tightly closed when not in use helps prevent drying.
