A fun and creative solution to these money management issues is to take objects and tools that you may find around the house, outside, or anywhere for that matter and incorporate them into your artwork. Not only does this help the wallet but it also allows you to really embrace your individuality and make it your own.
For this week the medium of choice is Sharpie Markers
They are:
-Cheap
-Permanent
-Available in a wide range of colors
-Come in all different sizes!
-From a gas station to a grocery store, Sharpie markers can be found almost everywhere
Cant get away from the painter inside you? Try Sharpie Oil-Based Paint markers. They are fade, water, and abrasion resistant and from personal experience I find them to be perfect for projects that need to be completed quickly and with little mess!
*A few things to remember before exploring the world of sharpies:
1. Its permanent! Yes this is an advantage but it can also cause some problems if you are not getting the results that you wanted. So my advice would be to start with something simple just to get a feel for it.
I chose to work with one medium (Sharpie) on plain computer paper to start with. This allowed me to focus strictly on the Sharpie and what it can do without being drowned out by other elements.
2. If you decide to draw on appliances or any other surface that is handled regularly, I suggest applying a clear polymer coating to protect your precious work!
Don't consider yourself an "artist"? Who cares!!!! Sharpies are for everyone!
