I finally tried out using Sharpies to draw/ paint on canvas.  I had been wanting to try it out for a long time.  I will have to say, that it was a different experience than I had expected.  I know the canvas has a texture to it, but it had a very scratchy feel to it, and it was very slow.  Painting would have been much faster, and easier to cover the canvas.  I also thought that I would maybe have more control with the marker tip, but the canvas surface made it difficult, yet not impossible.  The markers held up pretty well, but the green marker would not write afterwards.  It was fun to try out a familiar drawing tool in an unusual way, so I’m glad that I gave it a try.  I made a short video talking about the process.

The painting is available in my Etsy shop.
