We all remember when we were little and had a colouring book and had to try to colour within the lines, it wasn't always easy. There are those who can just do it the first time and then there are those who just need a little more time and there are still those who can't stay within the lines. But it doesn't matter, because nobody says that's what we have to do. But since people started writing in ink, a lot has changed, both in form but also in colour. Now there's not that shade we can't find. And it comes out in many ways, some can draw a picture so it looks like a photograph and others can colour in many colours so you can go completely into a trance. And everyone can join in, children and adults alike.
Inks for adults and children
There are so many different colouring pencils/inkers/touches. What they're used for is crucial, for example, do you want to freshen up your coffee cup or paint your own design on your white dinnerware? There is nothing nicer than receiving a cup with a unique painting on it, a greeting or a little poem. This is where your imagination runs wild. We mostly know markers from when we painted in coloring books, but today you can also decorate stones and porcelain and much more, there are markers for almost anything you would like to draw on. You may also just want to highlight a text, either because you want to be able to find it quickly again or you may want to draw someone else's attention to the text. Or your blouse needs a little sprucing up, in which case you'll need special inks, or your shoes need a smart look. If you have a cap that has become a bit dull, you can certainly freshen it up by adding a few smart touches. When decorating on textiles, use a marker that is permanently opaque. It's a wax colour you can brush on either the back or the front but with baking paper on top.
Professional inks for stone, porcelain, etc.
If you want to get a little more creative and try your hand at decorating down to the finest detail, try painting with porcelain markers. There are many different techniques you can use, but there are no rules on how you can decorate your porcelain, stone or clothing. At the same time, it can be really cosy on a grey day, to sit and enjoy with the family and possibly make Christmas presents with beautifully decorated mugs or plates. To keep the colour, the decorations need to be put in the oven for 25 minutes at 160 degrees, after which they can be washed, but the colour will fade more quickly. Or maybe you have a T-shirt that needs a little colouring up. Get the gift-giving process started with your child and let great drawings adorn dad's or mum's T-shirt or cap. It could also be that you're making your own fancy costumes for Halloween. There are also a lot of people who have started decorating on rocks, these are Uni Posca Inks you can use here, they have colours in both thick and thin inks. To keep the beautiful colours on the stones remember to varnish them about an hour after they are dry, then you can decorate the garden or entrance with the beautiful colours and they can withstand both rain and snow.
Thick and thin markers for colouring books
We all know about colouring books, but there has been a big boom in these, it's not just tigers and flowers to colour, or it is, but in a completely different way. Now you can get colouring books to improve your health, they can help you manage stress and much more, you can get completely into a trance by sitting and colouring in a mindfulness colouring book, here the detail is paramount and it gives a lovely calm and balance to immerse yourself in these colouring books. Here it is the thin markers you should use, as it is very detailed motifs in these books. If you are a person who likes to make scrapbooks, the thick markers are really good to use for a heading or a frame around a picture, it is only your imagination that sets the limit and it is pure therapy for the soul.
