Molotow paint markers up for a challenge against Liquitex paint markers

My son Joey bought me some of the Molotow paint markers 127HS 2mmn fine tip, from Cugino Boutique in Dorval for doing his ironing....wonderful little deal if I don't say so myself.

Anyhow I testing them out on the weekend working on a 6x12 canvas that was primed with Gesso. They are very fluid and don't need to be pumped as much as the Liquitex. The paint comes out quite quickly and doesn't leave edges when doing a large area. I will be testing the finish to see how it holds up with a final coat of varnish. I didn't really like the matt finish on the black but all in all I found them to hold up better than the Liquitex.

I will ask Joey to buy me some of their fat markers next to test.

Since I didn't really like the black because it was too mat I used my Liquitex black markers and now it looks good. One negative is the Molotow paint markers seem to bleed when varnish was applied. So in my next test I will let the paint cure for 24hrs. 

And since I was having fun doing cow's I did another one.

The Randon things I collect on Tresorcache101

My blog name is called Tresorcache101. I liked the name Tresor cache from the first time I heard it. It sounded like a diamond in the rough. I like to find little treasures even at the curb. I picked that name when I started this blog way back when. Since Tresor cache was already taken in Google, I added the 101 at the end.  It is the place where I document stories about the items given to me by my Family and Friends either to keep or resale. Some of the items I are found at the curb or  at 2nd Hand Stores, Flea Markets.  Most of the photographs are mine with the exception of the occasional picture ideas for reference of what could be done with the item to upcycle.  Google " bpagani@poshmark.ca" and click on images you will be directed to my Poshmark closet where I sell. I post items on Instagram under randomthingsicollect. Please ask any question you have regarding any of my items.  Use my referral code "bpagani" to receive a $15 discount off your first purchas...

Pictures of Montreal in the 60's

Decarie Boulevard 1961. The  Gibeau Orange Julep , also known as the Big Orange, was built by Hermas Gibeau in 1942. That building looked like  this  in the 1950s. The structure was rebuilt in the mid-1960s when the road was widened. This larger, fiberglass orange is 40 feet in diameter. The Orange Julep drink is similar to that produced by Orange Julius. Both companies developed their foamy orange drinks in the 1920s.
