Today's topic was prompted by a member question.  Each month members ask questions and request demos for that month's livestream.  In July a member asked for what to do with dried out markers. 

DriedOutMarker

Do you have any dried out markers in your collection?  Instead of tossing them, why not try reviving them?  Watch the video for the how-to:

This video is part of an ongoing series of videos I'm doing all about basic art techniques you should know.  If there's anything in particular you'd like to know, do let me know in the comments section.

Thanks for stopping by!

  • I’m sure we all have had to “deal” with markers that dried out, but thank you for the solution . I know that I have markers that are getting really dry, so I will check which type they are and do the appropriate CURE for them.
