What is a china marker?
*
I can answer that one right away because just yesterday I went to Amsterdam
Art to buy some after a listserv's member tipped us off. It's an oily type
of pencil with a thread which you can pull to expose more oily lead when you
need it. It's black and works well on many unusual surfaces...including an
overhead sheet. I tried it today when I was discussing shading and it worked
well for me. Thanks...whoever gave us the tip.
I used to have some pencils which were excellent on an overhead but I
haven't seen them in years so I guess they don't make them anymore. The
china markers are the next best thing. Toodles....
