A 100% India ink based pen with a variety of nibs; Arthouse Northside offer brush tip pens in 48 colours along with chisel tips for calligraphy and a variety of fine tips too.
Because Pitt pens are made from India ink and are light-fast and permanent they won’t fade over time like most pens which are are dye or alcohol based.
Who uses them?
Those working in fine art, life drawing, portraiture, calligraphy, illustration and fashion design choose them for their versatility and archival qualities.
Are they for you?
We’ve discovered some wonderful things experimenting with the Pitt pens including:
- The ink doesn’t bleed through the paper and can highlight the character of the paper itself. It’s perfect for the beautiful artist papers we stock.
- Work them into a wet surface for more painterly effects.
- Try experimenting with them by using alone or layering with other mediums
- Make your work last! They’re acid free, smudge proof and waterproof – no fixing or varnishing required
- Out and about? They don’t need to be stored upright, so carrying them in a pencil case won’t reduce their effectiveness
- With a durable and springy nylon tip the nib will hold its shape for the life of the pen
