Oil-based ink flows through precisely engineered nibs without bleeding or feathering, making these markers reliable for layering across mixed media surfaces. Pebeo formulates 4Artist Markers to work on porous and non-porous materials alike, canvas, wood, metal, plastic, glass, with permanent adhesion once dry. The glossy finish creates visual depth that matte markers can't match, particularly effective for highlights and details that need to pop against matte backgrounds.

Four nib sizes handle different applications: fine tips for intricate linework and lettering, medium rounds for general coverage, broad chisels for filling larger areas and calligraphic strokes. Eighteen colors provide enough range for complete compositions without overwhelming your workspace. Oil-based pigments resist water and won't reactivate when you layer additional media over them, essential when building complex mixed media pieces where subsequent layers need to stay distinct.

The markers work particularly well over acrylic paintings where you want crisp details without brush marks, or on dimensional surfaces where traditional painting tools struggle to reach. Sets eliminate the guesswork of building a working palette, giving you coordinated colors across all four nib widths for consistent visual language throughout your work.
