Fantastic video, thanks for making it….I’ve done some windows for shops but have never sealed with clear? How would it be removed once the shop is finished with the artwork? TIA 😊
Ok,,, you’ve answered many of my questions about “what’ll happen if I do this?” One more,,, if I’m painting a pic such as blue sky and clouds, grass w/house on rolling hills few trees around it. Can I prep the background all at once? First paint 1/2 using the blues and greens for the grounds. Then over that paint (of course when dried) can I draw over the dry paint to draw the objects (i.e., house w window and doors etc) and build my pic from back to front. Will it cover? I’m trying to eliminate or make easier for coverage when there’s details in the pic. (Getting close to a different color and trying not to run the colors together. I’m not steady at all and I’m clearly a novice w/painting. Not very good at it, but not ready to give up. The majority of my crafting is working with fiber arts such as quilting, sewing, wreath making, all different types of crafts and painting is something I’d like to add to my list of hobbies. So, again, question: can I paint over already applied dried colors and build my pic out w/out the application and technique of being very cautious. Thanks for your time. Love the video and appreciate the explanation. you get right to the task at hand and don’t get side tracked and tell us what you ate for breakfast, etc. 😁. Thanks again for your great videos.
Hi there! What I think your asking is: can I draw over posca pen that has already dried? If this is correct the answer is yes. But, you can’t press to firmly or the pen tip will pull up the paint that is already down. A tip for drawing details with posca over posca is to do a light layer of spray acrylic. This will keep your second layer from peeling up the first with the tip. Hope this helps. If not let me know and I’ll try to answer your question better. Sty inspired, aloha
@@WelzieArt yes you’ve answered my question. Also, The tip you suggest on light acrylic spray is good. Thank you. I just received my posca pens and eager to try this craft today. Look forward to more of your videos. Thanks again.
Hi, thanks a lot for this video. :D (y) I am starting glabally with paint pens. And I have a kind of trivial question: what about the glass window after several years under a Posca paint? Once scratched/removed (when I will move from this falt) will the window keep any trace from the paint? Thanks again, happy paints
Thanks for the video! Super helpful!! Im decorating a frame for my friend. The piece of glass im drawing on is gonna have another piece of glass directly ontop/infront of it as it sits in the frame.. Do u think i still need to seal it with a spray or will it be okay cause the glass will be on top sealing it? Hope that makes sense 😅
Fun project! If you have another piece of glass over it no need to clear coat it. Just be careful while you’re handling it. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
Yes you can do it on plexiglass. Always try a little experiment first just to make sure. I’ve never sprayed mod podge, but an acrylic spray does work. You will find some couldyness to the clear plexiglass but if you cover the whole piece it won’t matter. Mod podge will have similar blurry effect over the plexiglass as well. Best to always try a little bit first. The mod podge will peel off if not handled correctly. Hope this helps
Don’t use spray acrylic on anything that isn’t permanent. If you’re painting a store front window definitely don’t use a clear coat. Being temporary there is no need for the protective barrier. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
Hey thank you for your vids! 🤩🖊🌈 Wanting to do artwork with Posca pens on vintage cassette tapes and then cable tie them together to make a bag…would the acrylic clear spray prevent the Posca paint being rubbed off the tapes by the ties please?
You’re welcome! Yes acrylic clear will help the posca pens from being rubbed off. You might want to try oil based pens if the bag will get a lot of west and tear. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
Hello Im doing it on a restaurant glass counter which they wipe normally for dust cleaning and i dont want my artwork to be destroyed. So after spraying would it get damaged even after cleaning?
You’re going to have a hard time protecting the art if it’s a highly used counter top. The only way to make sure art will stay is by having the art under the glass. You could spray finish it but it won’t last very long if the counter is constantly being used. If the counter only gets wiped for dust and not much wear and tear you might find the paint pens stay on longer. Hope this helps!
You don’t have to spray between layers of posca pens but it does allow you to draw over your pens smoother and easier. When I use a spray I just use it at the end but it’s worth trying to spray between layers and see how you like it. Clear spray acrylic is what you need.
I am wondering about using Posca paint pens on tins, like popcorn tins for example. I cut them up to make earrings. I have been wondering about drawing on them. Sounds like it might work if the surface is cleaned well first and give it a spray finish. What brand of clear acrylic spray do you recommend?
I would start with a spray acrylic. Krylon or crystal clear is great brand. But any spray acrylic should work. If you’re having bonding issues with the tin you can try a spray enamel. Good luck!
I tried outlining my design using posca marker on an acrylic glass but my lines are breaking out in between. What can be the possible reason? Please help me out.
What do you mean about breaking out in between? It could be the glass has some sort of coating on it that is preventing the acrylic from sticking. Let me know. Thanks
Yes stroke lines can be visible. One thing that I’ve learned increases stroke lines often comes from lack of paint flow through the tip. Try pressing in the pen tip a few times to keep pen tip full sometimes I even get a little puddle of ink to spread out on some of the more transparent colors like yellow. When you’re filling in a big area keep your stroked close and don’t be afraid to go over them twice. Also if your paper absorbs a lot of ink that might contribute to high stroke visibility
You can use them and they will stay on but are easily scratched off. They will last fine as long as they aren’t touched too much. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
Thank you. this was super helpful as i want to try some art work on glass jars
You’re welcome! Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
Great idea. Thanks for trying it out for us!
Have fun with it!
Fantastic video, thanks for making it….I’ve done some windows for shops but have never sealed with clear? How would it be removed once the shop is finished with the artwork? TIA 😊
Best to not coat it that way the window won’t permanently have clear coat on it. 🤙🏼

The window might have traces. Especially after a couple years. Best to experiment first 🤙🏼
If I use the acrylic sealant on outside of a window will this make it last in the rain. Would it be easy for customer of shop to get it off though
Don’t spray it if you want it to come off. Can remove with razor blade
great video and thanks for sharing. May I know after spray can i wash it? I want to paint a vase
Pretty sure you should be fine as long as it’s coated. Just wash lightly
@@WelzieArt thank you very much!

“ it might not hold up to a razor blade fight.” 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
After spraying acrylic spray can I use acrylic paint on it? Cuz i just need posca outline and rest in acrylic paint.....?
Yep! Absolutely. Acrylic spray is a great way to seal the posca before adding more paint. Great job! Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt thanks a lot for help (•‿•)
3 questions. 1) Van you do this on plexiglass? 2) Can you spray it with mod podge? 3) Can you go over the end product with windex?
Thank you!

Hey man! Would you use the clear coat/spray acrylic on a glas drawing that isn't going to be permanent as well? Like on a storefront glas window.
Don’t use spray acrylic on anything that isn’t permanent. If you’re painting a store front window definitely don’t use a clear coat. Being temporary there is no need for the protective barrier. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt cool, thanks for the advice!
So will the colours not run off in the rain on shop window???

Hey so after every coat, i should spray it with that spray? And can i do another layer on top after spraying? (What is that clear spray called?)😁

@@WelzieArt the spray finish solved the problem very well!
Awesome! Great job!
Which spray did you use to coat the glass
Clear spray acrylic works great. You can pick up at local hardware store🤙🏼

Hi! this isn’t connected to glass but when I fill in spaces with posca pens I get visible stroke lines and I was wondering how to fix that
Yes stroke lines can be visible. One thing that I’ve learned increases stroke lines often comes from lack of paint flow through the tip. Try pressing in the pen tip a few times to keep pen tip full sometimes I even get a little puddle of ink to spread out on some of the more transparent colors like yellow.

@@WelzieArt thankyou!! This is very helpful
So what I understand is posca pens won't permanently work on mirror is that correct..?I want to use paint pens on my mirror
You can use them and they will stay on but are easily scratched off. They will last fine as long as they aren’t touched too much. Have fun and stay inspired 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt I did try but they don't spread evenly
Yeah with the paint pens on some surfaces you will see all the pen strokes
How to refill the fine pens??
The fine tips refill the same way as the posca pen pc 5m
Where do we BUY posca
Amazon is the easiest place but your local art supply usually has them too. Have fun!
Good question
Good to know!
So would the paint pens on glass I thought gumball machine
Happy to help but Not sure what the question is 🤙🏼
@@WelzieArt I was asking if the paint pens would work on the glass of gumball machine bad grammar
I think the oil based paint pens will work best. Acrylic will work but rub off easier
Since it’s glass what will happen if it gets fingerprints and needs washing? 🥴🥴🥴
Best to do some experiments first to make sure it will work for your needs
Thanks for testing! Please spray on concrete next time. As a result, neither animals and insects nor the groundwater are harmed. Thank you very much.
