What Are Alcohol-Based Markers and Why Choose Them?

There are plenty of marker types out there, but what makes artist alcohol markers so special? 

As the name suggests, these are alcohol-based and can be used for various crafting projects, whether you’re working on calligraphy, drawing, or making handmade cards. These markers also tend to bleed, so they’re best for use on thicker paper, like cardstock

Every crafter should have their own set of alcohol markers since they are versatile, great for executing different coloring techniques, and the high-quality ones also have a bunch of additional features. More on that in the coming section!

Brush markers are great for coloring, blending, and calligraphy. On the other hand, fine-tip markers are great for writing or outlining colors. You can do all of these with just one incredible marker that shares the same ink source. With these markers, you can experience fun and convenience all in one!

Best for Blending

Wondering how you can use alcohol marker art on handmade cards and other crafting projects? The limit truly depends on your imagination, but color blending is a great way to start. An amazing alcohol marker feature is that it’s perfect for blending and creating an ombré effect for your cardmaking projects. So if you’re worried about streak marks, that won’t be a problem with alcohol markers.

Last but certainly not least, alcohol markers are convenient due to their refillable nature. It’s reasonable to worry about running out of ink, especially if you have a brush and fine-tip marker in one, and if you love using your alcohol markers, running out of ink is inevitable.
