Dear All,

New here. I am an artist and am researching to make my own DIY Permanent marker ink that I can make to fill on an empty marker pen. That way I am free to create the color that I can conjure myself.

I've researched on the internet (eHow.com) that using household paint with gradual mixing in of thinner till I find the correct consistency is the way to go. Any tips or directions would be greatly appreciated

I've never tried to do that, but I'm curious whether you intend to fill ordinary markers that are empty or buy the empty markers sold by art supply places ? (e.g. http://artprimo.com/catalog/markers-empty-markers-c-28_76.html That site also sells ink for markers. I think you could mix inks to create custom colors. )
