I try to get my signature as best as possible with oil, but would really prefer it come out nicer, can I use a pen, or sharpie(metallic) to sign the name, or will that come offCan I use a permanent sharpie to sign my name on oil painting canvas?
People actually do devote some time practicing the signing of their name on paintings using paint and a brush.. And usually it differs from their signature made in handwriting. The use of a liner brush and thinned paint will allow for a more hand-written like signature. The use of a Sharpie would be very unprofessional short cut..Can I use a permanent sharpie to sign my name on oil painting canvas?
I've painted some miniature paintings where using a brush for my signature was not the way to go, plus the client requested i use my real name (first, middle, and last name) which is quite long as appose to my usual artist name. To make sure it was legible and would not distract from the paintings themselves i used a fine line sharpie marker and it worked out really well. The client got a kick out of the fact that i was able to sign the miniature paintings with miniature signature that was clearly readable. A regular pen will not work and i'd stay away from the metallic sharpies though.
you should really paint your name with the same paint you used for the painting, just for compatibility and the longevity of your work ,when you become famous and die , you want to make sure that 100 years from now , the art historians can maintain and restore your work, you know they will have oil paint, but will they have sharpies, you don't need to be neat with your signature, be creative, Picasso would sometimes write his name big all over the painting, Margarete would paint several copies of his work with false dates, he hated art historians
If the oil is dry you should be able to use a sharpie to sign it. but, frankly, I think it would be tacky. You aren't signing a contract or an autograph; you are identifying the artist. Why not do something creative? Make your own symbol. Everyone can sign their name with a pen, not everyone can use a paintbrush - you can - so use it.
You can; however, there are some caveats. First, oil paints take some time to dry, usually six months unless you use water soluble oils. Second, sharpies are alcohol based markers and will react with the oil paint; you may or may not want this. Third, it is tacky; using a calligraphic pen to sign your signature looks better.
At the risk of appearing ';Tacky'; to some I will admit I have signed my oils with sharpies for years. I am delighted they now offer a variety of colors. I believe if they had been available the greats of earlier times would have chosen them. Often I have seen an otherwise great painting ruined by a clumsily painted signature.
Homer,


Go to the Sharpie website and ask them if it will work. But I like the answer that suggested you create your own mark to sign your work with -it a millinnea-long tradition in art.
Signing a painting is not that hard. Use a script liner and thin your paint until it almost runs (like ink) then have at it. Sometimes, if I sign mine while still very wet, I use the end of the brush and just sign through the paint. But always make your signature look the same.
You can, but my advice is don't do it. I did that with one of my paintings and it looks really bad. It cheapens the look of the entire painting.
try an oil-based marker. or you can scratch out your name with a knife.
Yes. You can do anything you want.
no the sharpie police will arrest you


o.k seriously markers bleed and should not be used in an oil painting
idk
