It’s not hoarding if it’s brush pens

The saying It’s not hoarding if it’s brush pens is something we all know, and also an excellent argument if some ignorant person would dare to comment on your pen purchases. Because we KNOW that brush pens are LIFE, and maybe you’ve only tried a few, but haven’t really found your favorite yet. Or maybe you’ve tried several and are now always on the lookout for more (because that’s often the way it goes, they’re addictive, these creatures) – but either way, you should read on here, because this is really good.

You know how brush pens are often sold in sets of different colors? They do in this way too, but here EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENT BRUSHPOINTS. I’ve been thinking and testing and now I’ve put together a kit with nibs that range from hard to soft and small to large. So not only do you get colors to choose from, you will also develop a lot as a letterer or illustrator by handling many different nibs. 10 pens, 12 nibs, a lot of which can not be found anywhere else in the shop than here.

In other words: a lot of benefit and fun for your money!

This set is only sold here with me, and contains the following pens:

Pitt Artist Pen Dual Marker, Ultramarine 120, from Faber Castell

Oh, a lovely novelty with me. An absolutely magnificent medium soft lace with the most beautiful color. Big and chunky, mmm. And as a bonus, a small fineliner tip at the other end for details. Supple and less demanding than Ecoline.

Ecoline Brush, Light Orange 236, from Royal Talens

Here you have a large, and quite soft brush, filled with the finest orange color! Perfect for creating big letters, or work with water to make a nice background for your letters. Quite challenging.

Brushmarker PRO, Fire Red 092, from Karin Markers

Here we have another medium soft lace, but this time made of nylon. The question is which one do you like best? You know I’m a big fan of these pens, you can’t make a kit without them. Here in a bright red color!

Koi Brush, Cool Gray 44, from Sakura

This tip is a little smaller than the upper ones, and thus perhaps a little easier to control. Koi like to have smooth paper and slide over, and I took it in gray because it is PERFECT for shading.

Supreme Brush Marker, Blue, from Artline

This is the simplest medium-sized brush pen, a great pen to start with if you are not so used but still want a little larger letters. Because it is quite hard, which makes it simple, there is also not as much variation in line width.

Brush Sign Twin, Black, from Pentel

Pentel’s newest brush star with a large, sharp felt tip at one end that is quite similar to the Koi. And the other end is a smaller and lighter version, more like the classic Brush Sign. Incredibly useful pen!

Triplus Text Surfer, Pastel Pink, from Staedtler

What? A highlighter as a brush pen? Yeah, sure, dude. Textsurfer is a fairly hard, and therefore easier pen to handle. Perfect for the beginner. And yes, you can use it as a highlighter too, but you can do that with any brush pen really.

Brush Sign Pen, Lime Green and Light Violet, from Pentel

Yes, and then we have my favorites among small brush pens – they are so good that I had to include two in the kit. Easy to handle if you’re not used to it, great fun to handle if you are. Very useful and very good! These colors are two of the new ones.

Supreme Brush Pen, Black, from Artline

And finally, a really nice tip: It is smaller than Koi, for example, but also softer, so there is a great variation in how wide and narrow the lines can be. You want a slightly steady hand, and then it rewards you richly.

Brush pens being what brush pens are, they are a bit picky about the paper they are dragged across. If you want to make sure they last as long as possible, use Lettering Block Smooth. You can also find them in a set with Lettering Block Smooth A5.
