I'm looking for a canvas that I can use watercolor on first and then something like marker or colored pencil after. Would this be a good option?

I'm not sure since I only paint in acrylics. This is a question you'd have to either as an art instructor or ask an online art forum like www.wetcanvas.com or even write to Fredrix who makes the canavases (probably www.fredrix.com ?)

I don't think the core is as soft as a watercolor pencil, I can't speak to a pastel pencil I'be used mine a few times; like them to sketch out my subject since I you can erase if you need to change something before using water of course- I hope this helps

I think frabic marker would work best. Tried a permanent marker and it seemed to run a little bit more. I put a piece of cardboard between layers because it seeps through. Good Luck! We did this last year and the kiddos loved them.

That is a very vague question but the answer to that would be yes. Since you will be drawing in a program like Photoshop, Corel paint, or Sketch, you have the ability to select a brush and color...

Yes. You must use the primary colors to create more colors of your choice. I believe in the marker maker kit you are given suggestions on making more colors. My kids love it!

Hi, thanks for your question. We would not recommend you use Chalk This Way markers on fabric, as this is a porous substance by nature. Chalk Markers are best used on hard, non porous surfaces. Whilst the ink is water based, you may find it stains your fabric and for this reason we would not recommend for this purpose. Regards, Paul Davidson Chalk This Way

What a cute idea! Pigment inks transfer well to canvas and you will get the best results with 100% cotton canvas. You may have to press their little thumbs onto the surface with a little more pressure to optimize their print. Best wishes and hug them all for me! Lani Cruz 12 Hugs Children's Centers 650-355-8964

Hi, Mine never did have any water in it???? My problem was that the markers had no color, therefore when you tried to draw something, nothing showed??? I thought it was defective, sent it back and bought another...same thing???? Do your markers work?

I'd recommend Corel Painter Essentials 5 because it has a similar GUI to Adobe Photoshop, tons of brushes and other mediums, and it won't break the bank. I have PE4 & I still use it more than Painter X3 (which I also have). If you plan on doing any serious drawing or painting, PE5 is the way to go.

My disabled adult son does this art work as part of his therapy but the stenciled sheets are white where he colors and I always need extra markers than those that come with the kit. These markers worked great...as do those new Sharpie pens that do not bleed thru paper! But dont know about black canvas, sorry.

I was just like you. I loved charcoal and graphite but I felt a need for some color in my life. I started with a box of 24 Prismacolor Premier pencil set. I loved it. Next I bought the biggest box of Prismacolor Premier pencils I could find. I then advanced to Prismacolor Art Stix. I love working with color now. I use the art stix for large areas or for intense thick color. I am very happy with every set I have purchased. I did a lot of research before making my purchase. Good luck on your color journey.

I'd recommend you try MyPaint (http://mypaint.org/), if only because it is free AND multi-platform. And unlike some of the other excellent free programs like Krita or GIMP, MyPaint is from the ground-up designed as a digital paint program - thus it should prove less confusing to a beginner; you pick a brush, pick a color, and go.

I have...these are really lovely as one medium in a mixed-media piece. Try gesso-ing the surface before and these spread like a DREAM! (You don't have to spend a whole lot of money at first to experiment with a gesso if you're not going to use it otherwise, so don't get overwhelmed with all the choices/price points - I did.) I did this on journal paper that, without gesso, really doesn't like to be wet (it's a recycled, pulpy paper) and this method worked well.

Yes, and many other made for inkjet materials. If the canvas is not manufactured for inkjet there are coating products (gels of some sort ) available at fancy art stores.

Personally I have never used watercolors on them - only acrylics - but I am pretty sure watercolors would work, especially if you put a nice gesso base coat on first or another color. Good luck!!

With some imagination and creativity, you could use it however you wish. You could tape the image you wish to draw or trace to a wall or to the bottom of the "Artograph". You would have to figure out how to support the "Artograph" above the horizontal surface. As a matter of fact, I may well be doing this myself, as I wish to reproduce some old early 1900's family pictures. Either that, or I will somehow affix a blank canvas to a wall to draw on. You are only limited by your own imagination !!!

I don't they will work on canvas, they are not intense enough, but here is a suggestion. (Try this on a scrap piece if canvas first). Use a bottled metallic or pearlescent acrylic paint, then heat set. Also, I watched a You Tube video where Derwent Inktense Pencils were used on canvas with very nice results, check it out.
