Set of 8 black manga markers

Faber Castell

PITT Artist Pens are famous for combining a modern brush nib design with a tradition of India ink. India ink offers artists odourless, permanent, waterproof, lightfast inks with a large variety of vibrant colours. The durable nib gives the freedom to create versatile ink brush strokes of broad, medium to narrow with an even application of colour.

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.

Acid free
Waterproof when dry
Odourless
Won't bleed through paper
Remove the nib and turn it over to reveal a fresh point

Applications

On wet paper, PITT Artist Pens behave like India ink flowing in the paper and can still be reworked with a brush. Once dry, however, they are permanent and cannot be dissolved.

It is possible to paint or colour drawings using watercolours, once the ink is sufficiently dry. This will not affect the super bright colours and deep black ink.

It goes without saying that the PITT artist pens are well suited to all conventional techniques using traditional markers. Their significantly higher lightfastness gives them a higher advantage.

Set includes: 3 black pens (superfine, medium and brush nibs), 5 grey tons (brush nibs)

Set half-pastels à l'écu - countryside landscape (30)

Sennelier

$89.99

In stock Low stock Unavailable

Sennelier "à l'écu" pastels are extra soft pastels composed of high-quality pure pigments grounded with a natural transparent binder. The smoothness and velvetiness of these pastels are the result of a perfect balance between binder and pigment. For gradient shades, increasing amounts of mineral fines are added, ultimately tending towards white. Their exceptional brightness is due to the quality of pigment used, as well as the natural mineral fines discovered by Sennelier in 1905, which have been used ever since.

It took Sennelier more than three years, at the beginning of the 20th century, to formulate this range of pastels, and thus creating one of the largest chromatic ranges of pastels. Over the course of the century, this range of tones has evolved, but its essence remains unchanged.

This set contains 30 extra-soft half pastels in countryside tones. Dimensions: 10 mm (diameter), 36 mm (length).

Every drawing practice starts with a few key tools.

DeSerres brings together the essentials: graphite and charcoal pencils, quality paper, erasers, blending stumps and fixatives, from the brands artists and art students rely on. Whether you're just starting out or building on an existing practice, this is where to begin.

What do I need to start drawing?

A basic drawing kit doesn't need to be complicated. Start with a set of graphite pencils in a few hardness grades (HB, 2B, 4B cover most needs), a sketchpad with at least 90 g/m2 paper, a kneaded eraser and a blending stump. From there, you can add charcoal for looser, more expressive work, or coloured pencils for illustration. Explore our Graphite and Charcoal Pencils, Pencils and Pastels, Paper and Drawing Accessories to build your kit.
