Ink drawings have a very long artistic tradition in many countries. The expressiveness and covering power of ink, along with its permanence and ability to be combined with many other painting techniques, have ensured that this medium has consistently sparked the interest of artists and graphic designers. Faber-Castell has now brought together all of the advantages of drawing in Indian ink in a modern and uncomplicated disposable pen – the Pitt Artist Pen. The high-quality brush point will continue to function even when bent, and will not break under these conditions. The light colours are transparent, and thus well suited to varnishing techniques, while the dark colours have good covering qualities. Pitt Artist Pens have unsurpassed light-fastness, and the individual colours are marked with an asterisk-based code.
The lighter the colour of the Pitt Artist Pen india ink pen, the more transparent it is. The darker the colour, the more covering it naturally is. This pen also offers interesting possibilities for mixed techniques, e.g. with Albrecht Dürer artist’s watercolour pencils.
