COLORS

Acrylic Marker is made by Liquitex, creators of the first

artists’ acrylic in 1955. It’s born to sketch, paint, create
precision effects and fine detail on almost any surface.
Fully intermixable with all our paints and mediums, in a
choice of two sizes.

FOR FINE ART
This is a fine art paint marker. Made with fine art materials.

You can rely on the highest quality professional paint when you
use Acrylic Marker. Pigments are processed using the latest
basket bead-mill technology, where tiny reinforced ceramic
beads give fine dispersion, great color development, strength
and brightness. You get true color purity and archival stability
in a pen.
They’re also safe to use. Acrylic Markers are independently
tested by the Art and Creative Materials Institute at Duke
University, and hold the Approved Safety (AP) safety seal.

Permanent when dry

Water-soluble when wet, yet permanent and water-

resistant when dry.

You get the best of both worlds. Once applied, all the water
in the paint evaporates quickly in the atmosphere to leave
a flexible acrylic film of color behind. This is permanent and
doesn’t move - which means you can overpaint or varnish
without bleeding to achieve multi-layered surface effects.

04
Opacity

An expression of pigment.

Sheer or solid color, or something in between? Each

pigment has its own unique character and this dictates
its opacity. Our professional acrylic paint is formulated
to let the pigment express itself fully, so you have a
choice of opaque, semi-opaque and transparent colors
to help you achieve a range of effects. Check the
opacity symbol on the barrel.

Archival quality

The professional standard.

On a client’s wall. In a gallery. Your work needs to stay as you

intended. As with all Liquitex tools, the pigments in Acrylic
Marker have passed extensive tests for lightfastness. Each
pigment is rated according to the American Society for Testing
& Materials (ASTM), and we only use pigments rated ASTM I
or II*. This means your work will have the greatest archival
permanence possible – at least 50 years+ in gallery conditions –
with no color shifting or fading, to stay vibrant and true.
* Fluorescent and metallic pigments are naturally less lightfast.

CARE
Fine art tools need looking after.

This marker is paint and delivery system in one, so you need to

treat it with as much care as you would your brushes and tools.
A ball and pump valve system inside the marker keeps the paint
flowing and the pigment and binder evenly mixed. Give it a good
shake before use for best results. If too much paint comes out,
it’s usually because you’re pushing down too hard (or often) on
the nib. It’s easily fixed - wipe away excess paint, don’t pump
the nib, and your marker should be good to go again.

Spring-loaded plunger Paint

Nib Valve Mixing balls

Do you work your tools hard? Dirty nibs can be quickly sorted.
If you’ve got other Liquitex colors or paints on your nib, and
they’re still wet, take it out and rinse it. If it’s dried on or it’s
simply looking a little old and worn out, go for a replacement
nib. They’re easy to fit and return your markers to full
precision. Remember to always store markers horizontally and
to keep lids on when not in use, to stop the paint drying out.

A HISTORY OF
INVENTION
Challenging the established ways of doing things is
in our DNA.

It’s how we invented the first water-based acrylic paint in

1955, helping to revolutionize the art world. Before 1955, oils,
watercolors and solvent-based acrylics were the only choices
for artists. Our new acrylic, created by our founder Henry
Levison, could be used on almost any surface. It dried quickly,
cleaned-up with water and worked in a range of viscosities.
Henry tried to come up with a name that captured the essence
of the medium and the fact that it could go from fluid liquidity
to heavy texture - and everyplace else in between. He called it
Liquid Texture or Liquitex.
