This month is all about liquid acrylic! A truly unique medium that offers almost limitless flexibility. We included Daler Rowney’s FW Pearlescent liquid acrylic. These free flowing liquid acrylics are water soluble when wet but dry to a water resistant film. The shimmering pearl effect created by the pigment is startling. They are permanent and translucent, but work best when put down freely rather than applying successive layers of colors. Your Premium Box also includes two extra fine Montana acrylic paint markers. Use the black marker to add shadows, outlines or details. The white marker can be used to add highlights. Since they’re also filled with liquid acrylic they can be used over the FW acrylic once it’s dry. You’ll also find a Derwent graphic line painter. These paint pens feature a Japanese nib and are filled with an acrylic/watercolor like opaque paint that becomes permanent when dry. You’ll also find a Prismacolor .05mm fine line marker. These are great for quick sketches or adding crisp lines, texture, and detail work. Finally, we included a Pentel Color Brush to add ink washes to your work or add unique details. This brush pen contains water based ink which flows easily, dries quickly, and produces transparent watercolor effects. Have fun exploring your new supplies and remember to tag your art with #SketchBoxMay if you’d like be included in our monthly contest - the winner gets their art printed on a future box lid!
