Painting a thin black line

7 replies

Morning!

I´ve painted a fresco round the walls of my daughter´s room, and I think the shapes would look better outlined in black. I´m worried if I paint it with a fine brush, it´ll end up shaky and uneven. I thought about using a fine permanent marker, but that´ll end up getting discoloured in the sunshine.

Any ideas on the best way to do it?

Thanks!

I would use the permanent marker. However we do need a photo of said fresco!

I´m just worried the marker will go green/brown. Her room gets a lot of sun.

I´ve just realised I meant frieze, not fresco! I´ll upload a photo when it´s a bit more advanced.

I´ve found some acrylic paint markers on Amazon - Does anyone have any experience of those? I didn´t know they existed till today.

You need a posca pen! They’re amazing. Don’t get a cheaper acrylic marker though posca is the best brand I’ve used

Apologies for the duplications, the MN server is playing up again.

Thanks for the recommendation @Fridafever , I´ve had a quick look and I don´t know if I can justify the price, but I might just treat myself - it´s mother´s day here in a few days, so that can be my present to myself!

A black Posca pen is about £3 and will be worth every penny!
