Uni POSCA PC-5M Paint Markers | 1.8-2.5mm | Soft Pastel | Set of 8 - Rock Art

Paint gentle, pastel colour that covers even on dark grounds. This Uni POSCA PC-5M soft colours set holds 8 opaque water based paint markers in soft tints of white, yellow, apricot, pink, coral, lilac, light blue and aqua green, each with a medium bullet nib that draws a 1.8 to 2.5mm line.

POSCA paint layers once dry, so these soft shades sit cleanly over black stone, kraft card and dark canvas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many markers are in this POSCA PC-5M set?
8 markers, each a different shade, all with the 1.8 to 2.5mm medium bullet nib.

How is the soft set different from the core PC-5M set of 8?
Both hold 8 markers with the same 1.8 to 2.5mm nib. This set has 8 soft pale tints; the core set has bright colours with black and white.

Do POSCA markers work on rocks and glass?
Yes. They cover rock, glass, wood, canvas and paper; seal handled or outdoor pieces with varnish so the paint stays put.

Should I pick POSCA or an oil based Uni PX-20 marker?
POSCA is water based paint that layers on paper, canvas and stone, so pick it for art. The Uni PX-20 is oil based with a 2.2 to 2.8mm line for marking metal, glass and plastic, so pick it for workshop labelling.
