Writing, drawing, and painting on porous surfaces such as terracotta, wood, or canvas is no problem with this matte colored pencil. Its satin matte ink covers perfectly on craft items like flower boxes, small furniture, or even trays. Even on highly absorbent materials like wallpaper, rough plaster, or leather, the colors appear vibrant and are water- and abrasion-resistant. By the way, this marker also works very well on some smooth surfaces, for example, with white lettering on glass balls.
