Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens - Purchased for a Project?

[bjeans]

I just moved my Zig Clean Color Real Brushes into a different container, and found four Faber Castell Pitt Artist pens - like markers - with them.

The colors are tropical, and look so good together that they probably were purchased for a specific project: cadmium yellow, scarlet red, cobalt green and leaf green. I might have watched video or read a blog.

Do these colors/pens ring a bell for anyone?

I love how the color is on the entire pen, not just the cap. This isn't the first time I wondered why I bought something! :confused: At least they can be used, and work with the Zigs, even if I don't figure out why they landed here.

I have some, I use mine for tiny to get into the cracks spaces most of the time when I am coloring.

They are lovely, aren’t they? Thanks, Stacy.

I have a few Pitt pens - they are great for adding scribbles, edging and details to canvases. I think they are India ink, so they work well over paint, and dry permanent/waterproof- they'll be different to work with than the Zigs but they're nice to have in your stash! I have a dark brown, black, white and a light blue of the large brush markers, and then couple metallic ones with a smaller tip.

They are awesome. Are they the big brush ones? I love mine. And they last forever. Waterproof.

I'm not sure about those exact colors, but I do own a few of the Pitt pens thanks to Vicky Papaioannou's art journaling videos on YT. So, maybe you were hooked by her videos, too? She has a hummingbird art page that uses similar colors - hopefully, that will be some inspiration for you.

These have a smallish tip - firmer than a brush but with more give than a typical marker? I think they're like the smaller ones Dini mentioned.

The colors are SO crisp and vivid and they're as smooth as buttah. They actually seem to play nice with the Zigs. Now I'm curious about the big brush ones. How do you use those?

I've only seen a couple of Vicy's art journaling videos since I don't art journal,* but I'll have to watch the hummingbird one. Thanks!

* But I ended up in a weekly six-week art journaling class. :shock: The instructor usually works with cards and I like her and her work, so figured I'd learn or practice neat stuff.

Thanks, Dini. I assume I have the smaller tip ones, since the tips are, well, small. I think I remember a teacher in a lettering class using black Pitt pens - so it sounds as if they're high quality all around.
