Do you always strive to be more creative and try new things? I decided 2018 was my year to step out of my comfort zone and try to be a little more creative and artistic. Faber-Castell sent me a package of Artist pens and Watercolor Pencils to get me started!
I remember trying Calligraphy when I was a teenager… back then, I was pretty good. Today, my handwriting is pretty awful and I really had to concentrate to get my lettering to look halfway decent. But, these PITT Artist Pens are so versatile, it does make it easier than I thought. They come in different brush points- the more pressure you put on the tip, the wide and darker the color line will become. It takes a bit to get used to, but I love how everything you do is always different. If you make Valentine’s Day Cards, Thank you cards, or just draw pictures or color, it’s always unique!
About Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pens:
In many countries, ink drawings have a very long history among artists. Their expressive power, covering properties, resistance to ageing as well as the possibility of combining them with many other painting techniques have always made this medium interesting for artists and graphic designers. Faber-Castell has 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 works both straight and bent without breaking. While the light colours are transparent and, thus, well-suited to varnishing techniques, 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.
Here are the pens and pencils from Faber-Castell that have got my creative mojo going:
