What kind of paper do the markers draw on?

It is suitable to draw on thick cardboard, depending on the type of marker used, the cardboard can be smooth or textured. For example, watercolor markers are suitable for drawing on watercolor paper. Also, keep in mind that some of the markers soak into the paper and may show through on the reverse side. Other types (such as Sharpie acrylic markers) have a special ink that, even after soaking, is not visible on the reverse side of the sheet. On our site, you can also find a special sketchbook for markers.

How are the markers stored?

It is important not to leave the markers uncapped for a long time to prevent them from drying out. Some manufacturers have already developed markers that will not dry out even if you leave them open for a long time. However, we recommend that you always close the caps well after painting to extend the life of the markers.
Some types of markers (such as acrylic) are important to store in a horizontal position. Also, some markers need to be shaken before use, so we recommend after purchasing your paint markers, that you read the instructions for usage and way of storage.
