Man! That is a gorgeous painting!
Thanks for this video! I was trying to figure out what to use to sign. Glad you said a pen. I agree.
I love that! When I paint with lots of texture, I need to remember to leave a space to sign. 😜
Hey Jed. I LOVE that tree that was behind you on your left (my right) at the very beginning of this video. I'd love to learn how to paint that. Do you have a tutorial on that one?
Be nice to get a link to some of these pens you talk about
I've tried using Sharpies or other ink pens on my canvas paintings. Sometimes it refuses to dry for hours and causes smears. Other times, when I put on the sealer, it breaks down the ink, causing ugly rust-colored fuzzy edges. I end up having to take extra time to redo the area. Paint pens work well, though.
Thank you for the tip! ❤
This was very helpful!
Wonderful info. Thanks very much.
I purchased a set of acrylic paint pens and they dried up even before I opened them (I had to return them). What brand do you use? Thank you.
Quick question. I’m pretty sure you can’t paint acrylic on top of oil but I was wondering since a signature is small if the acrylic paint pen would work for signing an oil after it has dried?
I paint in oils and i did a bunch of underdrawing in sharpie before i knew. Made a beautiful painting over it, came back 2 days later and the sharpie had eaten through the paint above it. Wish I saw this sooner!
Oh man, I'm sorry!! Glad this video was helpful to you though, you live and you learn :)
Something to keep in mind is if you do oil painting, you would need to use an oil-based pen, acralic will not work well.
great idea!! Thank you!
For me, I would not recommend this method. First, you must sign with a small brush with the same colors used to draw the target painting, because the signature without the colors used exposes you to suspicion and the researcher or the beholder imagines that the signature was recently added by someone. Secondly, it must be signed before the colors dry so that the signature is an integral part of the painting and to avoid falling into suspicion or forgery.🌹❤
Excellent advise. Thank you.🙏🏽💖✨
Not really. After signing you must seal your paint with a isolation coat and then apply varnishing.
Do and exercise and try to remove the signature after that
BEWARE!! I found that the isolation coat caused the acrylic marker to smear even when I allowed it two days to dry.
Thank you for telling us 🙏🏾
I can't find the acrylic paint pen you are using with the retractable tip. Can you please tell me what brand it is and perhaps where to purchase?
He said liquitex is the brand
Found this really helpful. Thank you
This was very helpful.... Thank You ❤❤❤
I’ve used acrylic pens to sign pieces, but I’ve found that when I start varnishing, even after waiting days for everything to settle/dry, the varnish reactives the paint in the signature, ruining it and the section of the painting.
Are there any workarounds to this?
Did u try the oil paint pens?
Does we have to sign our painting with our original signature i mean with the sign that we have on our identiy card or we can use any kind of sign like our name or brand name
What a good advice
Do you recommend a Fine Point or Medium Point?
Thank you
And your
paintings are
awesome..
Are these the fine vs the wider paint pens 🖊️
Hi Sir, what if I did revisions? (I added dates on my initial drawings)
Do you use separate signature in your painting or arts.
Thank you ❤
beautiful thank you
Thanks for the tip
What size tip is the pen?
Just wondering if you've used spray acrylic varnish over the pen signature before? If so, how long do you have to wait after signing with the pens to varnish?
I have. Usually it's good to go within a minute or two, but different paint pens react differently on different surfaces. I give it an hour just to stay extra safe because I don't want to check it by touching it and risking smears. You can always do a test patch elsewhere, but in general, it should be perfectly fine after just a few minutes. Paint pens are supposed to dry pretty quickly.
I applied isolation coat two days after signing with acrylic paint pens. Total disaster. They smeared and streaked.
@@ray.deathray what acrylic coating do you use? I have a craft clear coat, I use it on the bottom of Ceramics after I have given a gift and signed the back with a sharpie and dated it. I use Aleene's brand.
I just simple can never sign my name using any type of paint brush it just blurs into complete obscurity, can you recommend paint pen brands you like ? thanks !
Thank you so much
I use those most of the time.
Precies.
De kwast maakt een onverwachte twist. Ik wilde een stift gebruiken, maar de acryl pen is de beste oplossing.
🤝
Thank youJed .
Was the paint pen you used liquitex brand?
Nope! They're called Artooli Acrylic Paint Pens
Could you please respond to the comments that say the Varnishes destroy the acrylic paint pens paint? I'm about to sign a rather expensive commissioned painting.. and signing has never been my best!??
What other brands for acrylic pens that could be used for signitures & detail work?
Posca has nice ones in a range of colors.
@@abridalmavenhmm I thought they run when applying varnish… hmmm
I hate signing paintings . When I sign drawings I usually find a spot and sign up next to something close to the bottom. You almost have to hunt for it. Paintings are much harder to sign that way.
I didn’t know about the sharpie though !
By the way... be sure your painting is completely dry before signing with a paint pen as other wet paint clogs up the pen.
As a lettering artist I would suggest making your J not look like a V.
Link to pens ?
Even if they can read your name, a coffee shop etc 1000 miles from you is not going to find you anyways. I have a stamp with my name and contact info I stamp on the back
Ow You signed that rather high, didn’t you?
Thanks. What is said that you use to signs is not in your content
you DO NOT use a marker of any kind to sign a painting or drawing. You should sign with a brush with a color the same medium: Oil, you sign with a brush + oil paint, acrylic with a brush + acrilic paint, pencil drawing with a pencil and, so on...This note is from a thru artist painter with 40 + years of experience
Thank you. I've used a sharpie. Ugh
Brother it's meeee. I don't know that you have youtube channel
I just sign the back
In university they say not to sign. Many juried exhibits don’t want anything on it identifying the artist.
Odd ..so what about your intellectual property rights here?
Signing a painting completly ruins it. Total BS!!!
Use your brain
