Pitt Artist Pens Studio Box - 48 Colors

What can I say its Faber-Castell quality (excellent) and a huge box of colors! It was the perfect gift for my artist son.

I am thrilled with these. As a professional artist, it is important to me that the colour of the pen ink matches the indicator on the tip, and these are very, very close to the colour. The ink is smooth and really stands out against the paper, making the artwork look much more professional and brilliant when held in contrast to other markers. The tips are well made and durable and the pens seem to have a lot of ink. They work well on a variety of different paper and don't bleed much, so it makes it easy to direct the ink. They blend well and have a minimal scent, so they don't make you dizzy if you are leaning close to them. I am so glad that I bought these, as they have become one of my favourite supplies. I would definitely recommend these to other artists. There is a wide array of colours here, and many shades that you can't find in a standard marker set. I am particularly impressed with the yellows in this set.

The ink is very intense but it doesnt goes to the other the back of the page. I have been using the Tombow for a year now and they are great. Still wanted to try somthing more fancy as I been journaling more and more. In the picture you can see the set of 24 of Faber Castell and below the ones I own from Tombow. The ink from the faber castell is just fuller and more intense. Also, I try appling white gel pen on top and it worked better with the FC since the tombow somehow bleed through the gel pen. On the other hand i like the more diverse colors you can get with Tombow so I still like them a lot, and maybe will buy again the colors I like best once I run out of them.

Pitt "Artist Pens" really are that - an artist pen. These are not kid's magic markers. The colors are beautiful and this 24 count box is a fairly comprehensive set, but there are also sets containing only grays (and they are gorgeous - from warm beigy grays to cool misty ones), and sets specifically for landscape and portrait, with more specific colors. The tip tapers to an elegantly fine point, and when used more heavily they approximate a #3 brush. One of their best features is that they do not dry out! If you keep the covers on they will last for years - I have had some for over 10. There is also a jumbo size marker in this line which is great for Sumi-e work. You cannot go wrong with any of the Pitt pens or sets - they are worth every penny and make terrific gifts for yourself or someone else. No, I am not paid by the company for this glowing review - I'm just an old artist who loves really fine materials and it's a pleasure to use these!

Great pens. They work beautifully with the Staedtler pens. A little pricey, but worth it.

Normally I wouldn't be able to afford this 48 set but it was on half-price because the new models just came in. (Lucky me!) I love the set. The colors aren't as bright as I hoped and expected, but they go on smooth and don't darken significantly with repeated passes. One pen did come with the tip broken. It looks as the tip were shoved into the pen possibly to fast or at an angle. (Picture 3) But it's #270, warm gray, and I don't expect I'll miss it all that much. I can buy the one replacement if necessary. The box they come in is very handy as these markers have to be stored horizontally. (Picture 1) It's very easy to see the cap colors like this and my swatch card is in order of the pens per shelf within the box. NOTE: If you're going to make a swatch card, the pens are not put into the box in numeric order. Overall, I'm quite happy with this purchase.

I purchased the Faber-Castell PITT Brush pens (48 pen set) to use when coloring in the Johanna Basford book "Enchanted Garden." I'm not an artist and had no previous experience with pens in this application. I tried out a few other pens, but found these to be the best for me. All in all, I'm very happy with them. Pros: The brush nib is a good shape and size to both fill in small areas, and to make a somewhat fine line; Good color selection (though I wish I had ordered the 60 pen set); can layer to get increased saturation or blending; super nice box for storing or accessing the pens; The ink doesn't bleed through the paper used in Basford's book. Cons: I wish a color chart had been provided (I ended up making my own); The color name and number code are printed on each pen - but on several pens they are almost impossible to read because the text is small and in a color that doesn't stand out against the pen case color (I used my label maker to label each pen with its color number in a legible size and at the end of the pen so I could see the number while the pen is in the box); when I wanted to order the colors that did not come in the 48 pen set, it took a good bit of sleuthing to figure out what those colors were - it would have been nice if a set of the extra 12 colors were available.

My go-to for artist pens for many years. Way better than your average marker and some of the colors are tweaked toward something more interesting, giving you better combinations to work with. Very nice tip w fine control. Off-label uses include: as a touch-up pen for floors and furniture, and for changing the harsh light of LED lamps and nightlights that have the cool white light -- use either yellow, orange or red, or a combo, and color the glass surface. The color is transparent and sticks to the glass so you can save money w LEDs but have a warm light.

Uso sobre superfícies em que não deseje usar tinta, água ou que necessite de linhas finas.

Fue para un regalo y encantada. Esta muy bien

Excelente calidad y manejable amazon para buscar los articulos

Good.

I have started doing the art journaling that had become popular and am using these pens in the journal. So far I am really happy with how they perform. I am using the dot journals that can be found at Michael’s stores and the pens work fantastic. There is no bleed through or ghosting through to the opposite pages and the colors are vibrant. I ordered the 12 pack bc they are pricey and now I’m wishing I got a bigger set. Oh well. I am also learning brush stroke calligraphy, but these pens are a bit too stiff for the up/thin and down/thick stroke action. I have been practicing but no luck. I have other pens/markers that work for that, that are better. If I have a chance I will be buying more colors if these pens. They are a bit more expensive, but I feel they are worth it for me. The ‘December’ picture is actually on the backside of the 2-page calendar spread, left side. There is no ghosting through on either side, which is such a bonus.
