Faber-Castell Art & Graphic Pitt Artist Pen Brush India Ink Pen, Earth Tones, Set Of 12, For Art, Craft, Drawing, Sketching, Home, School, University, Colouring

Great to use in artwork, gorgeous range of colours and Faber-Castell are always reliable for quality.

These are lovely pens and colour selection is great. Just bear in mind that colours aren’t like the ones on the product photo, I have attached image of what they looks like. They are also called ‘Earth colours’ on the label on the box, not ‘autumn’.

The main picture shows the correct colours, unlike 2 of the side pictures that look like there are mauves and pinks in this pack! The actual colours are from top to bottomraw umber, nougat, walnut brown, dark sepia, caput mortuum, indian red, sanguine, terracotta, cinnamon, green gold, earth green, chromium green opaque.The only downside is the badly designed box, which is a shame as that was one of the things I liked about this set. It is hard to open the first time you open it and the hinges at the back keep coming off the lugs. It works ok so long as you remember not to shut the box down completely at the front.I have another set in other colours with the same box problem but I still love them anyway.

These pens are brilliant for art

Was recommended these as a reliable non leak through marker. Had to send back 3 times before I received a set without dry markers in. Then tried to buy some from the open stock, everyone of which was dry on arrival! Once eventually got them - what a let down. Tried doing a small picture from johanna bashfords small victories to try them out. Loads of bleed through despite the paper being very thick, almost cardboard quality. One pen ran dry after only using it for couple of minutes, all pens left streaky patchy finish, and after trying to blend 3 colours on scrap paper one of the pens tip started breaking up. So don't cover well, don't blend well, don't leave smooth finish, don't last long - assuming you actually get pens that are not dried up to start with. I tried them on several different types of paper and 3 different books and got the same results every time. So I'm sticking with my pigment pens, quill markers, ohuhu markers and my copic markers. Unfortunately I ordered a couple of sets of these, which was an expensive mistake. Gave them to my 7 year old nephew to use and even he complained how awful they are. Not happy with these at all, but unfortunately by the time I got to use them (I was away when the final lot came) it was to late to return them.

Love these colours. Just what I’ve been looking for. Easy to use and great for blending. Would recommend.

Very nice selection of colors. I have more of these Faber Castell Pitt pens. They are amazing quality and work well in drawings. You can also blend them nicely with use of water.

As others have noted the pens arrived dried out. Probably due to the shrinkwrap having been damaged. I revived them by dipping the brush tips in water and then touching off the excess water on a paper towel. The Faber-Castell Skin Tones pack I ordered at the same time had the shrinkwrapping intact and the pens were in perfect working order.
