What Are Colorless Blenders and How Are They Used in Marker Art?

Colorless blenders are essentially markers filled with a solvent but no dye, making them appear clear and colorless. While their name suggests that they might be used for blending colors together, their primary functions are somewhat different.

Key Uses of Colorless Blenders:

  • Highlighting: These tools are excellent for lightening specific areas of your artwork, helping to create highlights and add depth.
  • Fixing Mistakes: Made an error? A colorless blender can help you correct mistakes by fading unwanted marks.
  • Transitioning: They are also useful for creating smooth transitions from colored areas to white, giving a more polished look to your work.

 

To slow the fading of marker art, follow these essential steps:

Choose the Right Markers: Opt for alcohol-based markers, as they contain higher quality dyes that are more resistant to light and fading.

Proper Storage: Keep your marker art away from direct sunlight. Consider storing your pieces in archival boxes to protect them from light exposure. Alternatively, framing your art under UV-filtering glass can add an extra layer of defense against harmful rays.

Use Protective Sprays: Apply a protective spray like Golden Archival Spray Varnish. However, this step requires caution. Make sure to test the varnish on a sample piece first, as it can potentially alter the colors, darken the artwork, or add an unwanted sheen. Ensure the markers have fully set by waiting several hours before applying the spray varnish to avoid any running colors.

By incorporating these strategies, you can significantly extend the life and vibrancy of your marker art.

FAQs

 

What markers are best?

It all depends on the type of effect you want to achieve. Some of our popular favourites include: 

 

 

How long do markers last?

This depends on the type and brand. However, most art pens typically last around 1-2 years if they’re well taken care of. 

 

What paper is recommended?

The best options include marker paper and cardstock as they are thicker and smoother than regular paper which helps to produce vibrant and precise strokes. It also prevents spreading, smudging and bleed-through. 

 

What art pens do not smudge?

If you’re looking for a smudge-proof option, we recommend opting for a Sharpie. They are smudge-proof, water resistant and produce vibrant strokes of ink on a range of surfaces. 

 

What types of projects are these markers ideal for?
 
These markers are particularly useful for art projects, labeling, and crafting detailed designs, where permanence and precision are important.
 
 
How do the colours of the markers perform over time?
 
The colours provided by these markers are designed to be rich and resist fading, ensuring that they remain vibrant and clear over time.
 

Are markers generally lightfast or prone to fading? When it comes to lightfastness, markers are generally prone to fading. This is primarily because markers derive their color from dyes rather than pigments. Unlike the pigments found in paints, pastels, or pencils, dyes are more vulnerable to light exposure and tend to fade over time

 

How Can You Clean a Dirty Marker Nib?

Cleaning a dirty marker nib is simpler than you might think. For both water-based and alcohol-based markers, a quick fix involves using a blank piece of paper. Just scribble back and forth until the nib appears clean and the color flows smoothly again.
