Chalk Markers

How do I use my Chalkola Chalk Markers?
To get your chalk markers started, make sure that the lid is on the marker first before giving it a good shake. Remove the lid and press down the nib on a test surface–do so firmly to pump the marker until the chalk ink floods the nib and produces a smooth mark. For more information watch this video.
Which surfaces can I use Chalkola Chalk Markers on?
Chalkola Chalk Markers work great on any non-porous surface, such as whiteboards, glass, non-porous chalkboards, metals, ceramics, plastics, and vinyl. On porous surfaces, such as concrete, paper, wood, and painted surfaces, the markers will still work, but will not be wiped off.
Are the colors vibrant enough to show up on a dark surface or black poster board?
Yes. All the chalk markers are highly pigmented and will show clearly and colorfully on darker surfaces. Although the black chalk markers may not show on black poster board, they can be used for detailing or layering on top of any other color.
Do the colors fade over time, especially when exposed under the sun or light rain?
No, the chalk pens’ colors will not fade as they are UV- and weather-resistant, especially when used on paper, canvas, or other porous surfaces. If you want your artwork to stay on a porous surface permanently, avoid using ammonia-based cleaners.
Is the tip plastic or felt?
All chalk markers have felt tips, which ensure a smooth and easy ink application.
Do the Jumbo Markers hold more ink?
Yes, and they’re long-lasting, too. Specifically made for creating art on large surfaces, each Jumbo Marker holds 28 grams of ink and features a 3-in-1 nib that can go from fine to bold, so you can control the flow of ink and thickness of the application.
Is the finish matte, flat, or glossy?
100% vibrant and matte. All chalk markers are highly pigmented and their colors show up accurately on any surface. The only difference would be the sheen from the Metallic Chalk Markers, as they display a shiny and shimmery effect.
Are the chalk labels that come with the Variety Packs for one-time use only? How many kinds are there?
The Variety Packs come with 50 chalk labels in 8 different shapes. They are reusable, removable, and durable, so they’ll last for a long time and can be used over and over for different occasions.


Watercolor Brush Pens

Are there any double colors in the set?
No one color is the same. The pack features 28 unique and vivid colors with a wide range of hues to choose from!
Will the colors fade if exposed to sunlight?
Definitely not. These Watercolor Brush Pens hold lightfast and vivid ink, which means they’re not prone to discoloration when exposed to light.
Are these pens safe for children below the age of 12?
These non-toxic and odorless watercolor brush pens are easy to use and safe for kids below the age of 12. The pens have an easy-grip feature so children won’t have a hard time using them. Although younger children may need supervision working with the pens to ensure they use them safely and correctly.
Are these pens acid-free and do they leave stains on surfaces?
These watercolor brush pens hold easy-to-clean water-based colors, and don’t contain harmful acids that can discolor or stain surfaces.
How long do these watercolor brush pens last?
The brush pens come with secure lids so the watercolor won’t dry up or leak out. With moderate use, these pens can last up to two years or longer.


Acrylic Paint Marker Pens

Are these markers waterproof when dry? Should a sealant be used over it?
Yes, these Acrylic Paint Marker Pens are waterproof. If you’re painting on paper, canvas cloth, or wood, it’s best to use a sealant on top of the paint to hold and seal the pigment. When used on a smooth surface like glass, metal, or slate, the paint can still be removed or wiped off even if you apply a sealant over it.
Once a mug (or any ceramic) is painted and baked with acrylic, can it be microwaved? Is it food-safe?
Yes. The paint becomes permanent after baking so you don’t have to worry about the colors melting or fading in the microwave, making it safe for regular use. However, it’s best to avoid using the dishwasher to ensure you maintain the quality of the paint on your ceramics or glassware.
Will the paint stain your hands or does it wash off easily?
These marker pens are safe for skin contact and can easily be washed off as they are non-toxic and water-based.
Do these pens have a strong odor?
Absolutely not. The pens have low odor, almost unnoticeable, and they don’t contain any toxic ingredients that can trigger allergic reactions. However, it’s always best to test them out first if you have any medical concerns regarding acrylic products.
Do the markers have soft or hard tips?
These pens are hard-tipped so they’re mess-free and easy to use, especially for finer details.
Are the colors matte or glossy?
These pens hold vivid and opaque ink, which appears matte on any kind of surface.
Which surfaces are best for Chalkola Acrylic Paint Marker Pens?
You can create art on virtually any surface with these multi-purpose pens: textile, canvas, metal, pottery, treated wood, plastic, stone, terracotta, polymer clay, glass, ceramic, leather, rubber, and more!


Acrylic Paints

Does the set come with brushes?
No, the set doesn’t come with brushes. As these paints are made for artists of all ages, you can use any brush you’re comfortable with, or even try out finger painting as some prefer!
Are these artist quality paints?
These Acrylic Paints are 100% artist quality and come in different color variations. The paints have rich pigment and can easily be blended and applied, so they’re suitable for different techniques and surfaces.
Are they non-toxic and do they have a strong smell?
There’s no need to worry about toxicity because our paints are certified non-toxic, non-hazardous, and very low in odor.
Are these paints oil-based or water-based, and are they lightfast?
These acrylics are purely water-based, and yes, they’re lightfast. This means that the paints are designed to resist fading when exposed to natural or artificial lighting. Once dry, the colors also become resistant to water.
Are the acrylic paints translucent or opaque?
The opacity varies per color. Each tube is labeled with the opacity level along with the pigment code and color name so you’d know what to expect before application. All in all, every color in the set is guaranteed vibrant and striking!
What’s the difference between these acrylic paints and those with a heavy body formula?
Chalkola Acrylic Paints are versatile and easy to use. They flow smoothly and work well with both dry and wet brush applications, whereas the heavy body acrylics have an ultra thick consistency like that of butter. All in all, both can deliver the same results in terms of opacity and vibrancy.
Which surfaces can I use Chalkola Acrylic Paints on?
You can use these paints on most painting surfaces, such as canvas, paper, glass, clay, concrete, wood, rocks, fabric, leather, and ceramics.


Chalkboard

What material is the chalkboard surface made of?
Our chalkboards are made of the highest quality magnetic porcelain steel and are 100% non-porous. They’re guaranteed easy to clean with a damp cloth without any ghosting.
Can this chalkboard be used outdoors?
Definitely. The Chalkola Chalkboard sign (done indoors or outdoors) has been a hit with customers for years. Its durable and rustic wooden frame combined with an easy glide writing surface makes this chalkboard the perfect choice for homes, businesses, events, and more.
Is there a tray to hold chalk or markers?
Yes. This chalkboard is designed with an easel stand, wood frame, and a holding tray in front.
What are the writable surface dimensions of the chalkboard?
The chalk sign has a market-leading 12.5x10.5 writing space, making it larger than any other brands available today.
Do you need to prep the surface before you can use it?
No need to do anything. You can get to work on your chalk art as soon as your chalkboard arrives!
