Description Staedtler Pigment Arts Pens use a new formula called Multi Ink. This ink is based on premium pigments, which means that even after years of UV exposure, it still achieves extreme lightfastness and exceptional colour brilliance. The Multi Ink does not bleed through the paper. This applies even to thin paper types, making our pigment arts pens perfect for projects where the back of the paper is also used, such as bullet journalling or sketchbooks. Thanks to the permanent and waterproof Multi Ink, water droplets can’t harm the illustrations, so even combinations with watercolours are possible. The ink also impresses with fast drying on many surfaces. Multi Ink is also smudge-proof on most surface Multi Ink can be used on almost all surface types such as artist papers (e.g. watercolour paper, layout paper, marker paper, …), canvas, photo paper, cardboard, wood and more. In addition, the ink impresses with colour fidelity on a wide range of materials, making it the perfect choice for mixed media applications. Colours can be intensified by painting over several times. This can increase colour saturation and density and create colour gradients. Interesting new shades can be created by layering two or more different colours It is possible to create colour gradients with one or more colours while the ink is still wet on the paper. Use one lighter and one darker colour next to each other and then move the lighter colour over where you want the colours to blend. Use tip-to-tip blending to create a gradienton the tip of the pen itself! Easily achieve wipe-free contours once the ink has dried, the outlines can be painted over. This feature offers a wide range of possibilities. For example, first draw contours and objects with our pigment arts pens and then add a little background colour with watercolours.
