<p>Colored markers have worked for me on tops to get a spiral finish
etc. Most markers are permanent and will take a finish.
Watercolor markers are a thing but they will be effected by water,
I don't know how well they work on wood that is to be used, they
will possibly run with water soluble or alcohol based finishes.
Acrylic craft paint is opaque, won't let the grain show through.
Color pencils are nice at times, just ask Duane, our club expert
on them; but they can run with wipe-on if you scrub it on. I have
used color pencils in conjunction with wood burned birds on vases,
nice outcome. John<br>

<div>Someone at Saturday's meeting asked about a finish
for soft wood, maybe soft maple boxelder or similar,
that won't darken these woods. </div>
<div dir="auto">I just purchased some oil pastel crayons
yesterday to use over wood as a coloring scheme. When
applied to sanded wood, leaves grain show thru, but,
as the media does not dry as is usual with crayons,
the color tends to smudge. I'm looking for a fixative
or finish coat that dries, leaves a protective finish
bout does not alter the coloration.</div>
<div dir="auto">In internet search netted a product that
artists use at least over paper; Krylon Kamar Varnish
in spray can, bout $12.</div>
<div dir="auto">Also, Sennelier D'Artigny Oil Fixative,
spray bout $16.</div>
<div dir="auto">As always test on a similar surface is
sage advice.</div>
<div dir="auto">I have NOT tried either.</div>

<div dir="auto">We know placing turned objects in
sunshine or UV will eventually darked over time.
Heavily pigmented does not, however. </div>

<div>Look up David Woodworks, for creative examples of
turned objects using oil pastels. Very cool.</div>
