A paint marker set is a good way to get started with this medium, because it provides a varied palette from the outset and allows different colours to be tested before filling in with individual markers. Paint markers stand apart from standard markers through their opaque ink, which covers dark and non-porous surfaces that water-based markers cannot reach: glass, metal, stone, wood, fabric and plastic. They are used for calligraphy and lettering as well as for personalizing objects, decoration, art graffiti and creative DIY projects. The choice between a water-based and an oil-based formula depends mainly on the surface and the level of durability needed once dry.
