Yes. This is the canvas I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VLLC3S/

I have done several drawings with these on watercolor paper - and put UV glass over them, but have had several that faded. I have bought and will try a UV spray on them to see if this helps. I love these markers and have enjoyed the blending aspects of them...but now I'm worried about all the gifts I gave using these pens - if they're close to the sunlight, they will fade.

The opacity is good, when not mixed with water. Overall for the price I really like these paints. I used them to paint a rusty bird statue and it covered it nicely. The colors are great too. Just a note the tubes are only .74ounces, so if you want a really opaque painting you made need to go with larger tubes or their jars.

I have...these are really lovely as one medium in a mixed-media piece. Try gesso-ing the surface before and these spread like a DREAM! (You don't have to spend a whole lot of money at first to experiment with a gesso if you're not going to use it otherwise, so don't get overwhelmed with all the choices/price points - I did.) I did this on journal paper that, without gesso, really doesn't like to be wet (it's a recycled, pulpy paper) and this method worked well.

These markers were purchased for my son whose artistic endeavors right now is ink on paper. I don't believe he's done anything on fabric. So, I can't say for certain. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer. Perhaps they can specify as to how well they'll hold up on certain fabrics washed (or dry-cleaned) under certain circumstances and for how long. I can say that he has enjoyed these pens for his drawings.

These are not water-based ink, if you want to mix them with water it won't work....But it is perfectly possible to use a paintbrush or the finger in order to hive them a form, a shape, and will not smear, don't worry!

The gel sticks should work very well on canvas board. It is a creamy product (like lipstick). Don't forget that the sticks have a bit of "open" time (they take a bit of time to dry) so don't stack things on top of a recently completed art project. Have fun!

I don't they will work on canvas, they are not intense enough, but here is a suggestion. (Try this on a scrap piece if canvas first). Use a bottled metallic or pearlescent acrylic paint, then heat set. Also, I watched a You Tube video where Derwent Inktense Pencils were used on canvas with very nice results, check it out.

I think it would work fine with ink---probably wouldn't want to watercolor tint the drawings.

This is a very open-ended question. The answer depends on what you are trying to accomplish. The pens work great, are smooth, bright and fun to work with. I do a lot of organized doodling (some call it tangling) and for my purposes they work wonderfully. The only negative is they can smear just a bit if you don't give them a second or two to dry. I do wish they came in finer point sizes; but still great. As always, this is only my opinion and the only way to be sure they work for you is try them. There may be smaller groupings at a lower price if that is a concern.

Absolutely. It's the nicest watercolor I've ever used. It can be used brush to pencil tip for traditional watercolor and it can be "drawn" on the paper and then a brush go over it for the watercolor pencil effect. I love these. I won't use anything else.

They are not waterproof in my experience unfortunately. No idea if they can be used with watercolors but if you're writing on something wet they probably won't do well.

The ones I received had very water down color it hardly worked on dry erase board. Maybe try window markers and problem a different brand

If they are "wet erase" I believe they do come off with water. You can write on these with Permanent Sharpies, but that won't come off. We've created "generic" signs so we don't have to change the message. (Sign up for VBS This week!) instead of using dates. If you use Wet Erase that may come off, but I haven't tried it. And if it rains, it also may come off. I've also taken a design to a graphic artist and got a 24x36 sheet that we then stuck on to the panel. It's waterproof and if we want to change it, we just have to peal it off. The "stick on designs" are pricy, but if you plan on using them all year (Worship on Sunday at 9 AM - All Welcome) it's worth it. Blessings, Tom

I'm so glad that you ask this question. This is exactly what I use them for. They work wonderfully for plastic canvas. They even make it easier to work with. The other good thing, is with these, you can get close to the edge of the canvas.

Not too well. Rough or nubby fabrics, if they are not cotton or linen, don't let the ink or dye sink in thoroughly. If they are cotton or linen, sponging on with fabric paint will work nicely. What the canvas is made of will determine the absorbency.

Yes....and the quality is amazing. I used them as the base for my photo Christmas cards last year and am attempting an attached hand painted watercolor this year. They are sturdy for mailing/shipping, as well. You won't be disappointed!
