HOT PRODUCTS: Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pen Brush - Indian ink in a disposable high quality modern pen

Planner entry by @coffee.food.musings

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.

*** = maximum (100+ years)
** = very good (25+ years) 
* = good (5+ years)

It's perfectly compatible with existing Gansai Tambi paint sets which I got hook the moment I tried it for its buttery smooth application and deep colours.

Fuse the water-based metallic silvers and golds for magnificent, glittering effects.

The non-toxic, water-based paints are ideal for sketching, illustration, sumi-e, cards, and more! 

Each watercolor block comes in an individual tray that can be removed from the palette during use. The underside of the box lid features a color chart that you can fill in yourself using the actual watercolors so that you can see exactly how they will appear when used.

The large pallets allow working straight from palette to paper, making them great for painting on the go. If heavily diluted the paint dries highly translucent or with less saturation it dries opaquely with a slight sheen. Can be used on conventional watercolour paper or dark coloured cards.
