Continuing to enjoy the
Big Brush pen format. Making calligraphic marks are a breeze though I'm not prone to making any sort of artsy lettering. It's easy to see that indeed the
Big Brush Pitt artist pens would be ideal for illustration, architectural renderings, calligraphy, and fashion design applications.
While it would take a long time to verify the "lightfast" and "archival" claims on the labels of the
Big Brush Pitt artist pens and the Prismacolor Premier Archival Marker pigment liners. Verifying their "waterproof" claim is quite simple: sample marks were made on
Moleskine watercolor paper, allowed to dry for a couple of minutes, and watercolor washes were run over them 3 times with a 1/4" flat brush. I am happy to report that all passed the
waterproof test with flying colors with absolutely no smearing nor feathering under these testing conditions. Any of them would be perfectly suitable for mixed media ventures and would work well with watercolors.
UPDATE: The
Pitt pens and
Prismacolor Archival markers also work well with each other. These doodle pages were drawn with the
Premier Fine line markers and colored with the
Pitt Artist pens.
When coloring outlines done with a black
Pitt brush pen and a
Kuretake Fountain Brush Pen #8, there was some smearing especially with the latter.
