Question: What's the best way to sign an oil painting!? What's the best technique!? Small brushes!.!.!.or !?!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Sign it unobtrusively, trying to blend your signature into either the color or value!. Traditionally, in Western culture we sign in the bottom right Conner!. You may date it as well!. You want the painting to be the thing that is noticed first, not your signature!. To sign in red or any other loud obvious color shouts out : "I have an enormous ego which is much more important than this painting of mine",
You can sign with a small sharpie or with a small liner brush in oil or acrylic!. Just be sure that your signature is not that noticeable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Either use a small, fine brush or it is possible to buy a special, painters pen specifically made for signing paintings! It feels like a pen to write with, yet blends in as it is in actual fact paint!

Good luck
