I love that! When I paint with lots of texture, I need to remember to leave a space to sign. 😜

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.

Be nice to get a link to some of these pens you talk about

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!

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.🌹❤

This was very helpful!

Thank you for the tip! ❤

Found this really helpful. Thank you

This was very helpful.... Thank You ❤❤❤

great idea!! Thank you!

Wonderful info. Thanks very much.

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?

Do you recommend a Fine Point or Medium Point?

What a good advice

Precies. De kwast maakt een onverwachte twist. Ik wilde een stift gebruiken, maar de acryl pen is de beste oplossing. 🤝

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?

What size tip is the pen?

I use those most of the time.

Thank you And your paintings are awesome.. Are these the fine vs the wider paint pens 🖊️

beautiful thank you

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

Thank you ❤

Thanks for the tip

Hi Sir, what if I did revisions? (I added dates on my initial drawings)

Thank you so much

Thank youJed .

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 !

Do you use separate signature in your painting or arts.

Link to pens ?

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.

Was the paint pen you used liquitex brand?

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!??

As a lettering artist I would suggest making your J not look like a V.

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?

What other brands for acrylic pens that could be used for signitures & detail work?

I just sign the back

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

Brother it's meeee. I don't know that you have youtube channel

Thanks. What is said that you use to signs is not in your content

Thank you. I've used a sharpie. Ugh

Ow You signed that rather high, didn’t you?

In university they say not to sign. Many juried exhibits don’t want anything on it identifying the artist.

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

Signing a painting completly ruins it. Total BS!!!
