[@rtd1791]

So glad the big brush is back. I need several replacements. I checked blick and the Duo brush markers don’t seem to be there. Found them at Jerry’s like you said. Not at the Art Supply Warehouse either. So dashing to the art supply store right now isn’t possible. I’ll have to wait on the mail. But patience is a virtue and virtue is its own reward. 😂

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

I think in this case patience will be your friend! Your time will come my friend!

[@janascallan87]

I just ordered them from Blick.

[@ChantelleArts]

this is so amazing 😊😊

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thank you!

[@bonnieravenstar860]

I love my Pitt Pens all of them. I adore the Big Brush pens and glad you have experimented with the new ones. It is cool they have the 2 nibs in one. I may have to try some Mixed Media now lol

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

You absolutely SHOULD try some mixed media projects my friend!

[@madelynsmith8281]

Looking forward to it!!! Your videos are always so much fun and energy. 😊

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@dmblauvelt545]

Yay I’m so glad they have brought the big brush is back I love all the Pitt pens so much

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Love them!!!

[@meganklobchar7014]

I wish the tip was the Same as old brush marker. I wonder why they. Changed it because it was really good I also don't love the pen tip I wish it was a bullet nib or something but thats just me being picky.I am so glad they have some version of big brush version back because I was sad when they discontinued them

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

@@meganklobchar7014 I'm not in love with the little baby tip either lol - I do like the new nib but only because I just needed a big one! I'm not picky as long as it lays down a LOT of pigment, I'm cool with that! But I use these in such a specific way, probably different than most! But like you said, at least they brought it back, that's the most important thing, they are so unique!!

[@nannywhumpers5702]

OMG I love love love layers of sealant. Changed how I do art entirely. So much fun and when you do layers and layers of color is fun to play with! Thanks for sharing. I don't have the pens you have I do use inktense, it seems similar but I haven't tried erasing it.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Layering is SO FUN! I am so glad to hear you enjoy playing around too! Thanks for watching!

[@judyhoomalamalama]

wow than u so much will have to try these. Mayb a small kit first . I love your enthusiasm

I’m a HUGE fan of Pitt pens. I use them on top of watercolors and acrylics to add details like eye and lip colors. They play so nicely with acrylics, which alcohol pens do not.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

They are the best for mixed media projects!

[@vikkibenoit3765]

I'm glad you mentioned the Posca skipping ( and spitting) I thought it was just my left handnessness getting in the way again. 🤷

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Haha oh no!!!

[@AmazinGraceXOXO1]

Two seconds in and I’m already like “ oh no. What’s Karen making me buy now” . I’m such a sucker for new products😅

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Haha I’m here to spread the word!

[@art-alchemy]

Hi Karen, The new Pitt Pen Markers you can get them through Jackson Art in a nice Nylon storage Case with Graphite Pencils. I got them at the end of 2022 during Christmas sales. I thought I had purchase the same item in when I got the watercolor markers they are so similar. Maria

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Oh thank you for sharing!!

[@camillanilsson2460]

I have had really bad experience with the Pitt Pens. I bought a lot of Pitt Pens s few years ago but most of them dried up. I had hardly used them so the ink had not run out. I can only hope the new ones are of better quality. Thank you for the demonstration of the new pens.👍

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

That’s so crazy! I have the same ones for over a decade (because as you can see I only use tiny bits at a time so they are still all going strong) and they still work great! I wonder if you just got a really bad batch????

[@camillanilsson2460]

@@KarenCampbellArtist Yeah, I think they where old ones from the beginning.

[@amyschmidt3151]

Thank you for this. I’d love to try some but if you can’t afford a big set, what are some of the colors you would recommend to buy singularly that would be good for things like eyes, hair, lips, etc?

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

I recommend this 6 count skin tone set if you can only afford a few to get started! Here is the affiliate link! amzn.to/3PUBpwc You can also browse my art supplies recommendations here: awesomeartschool.com/p/artsupplies Hope that helps!

omgosh I dont need more Faber Castell but I want more now, especially all those skin tones -yummy

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Right?! SO GOOD!

[@theamoore6787]

Hey 👋 Karen…question? Does the new dual tip Pitt marker pen have a fiber brush nib (like the original) or the more durable foam rubber type brush nib more similar to the copic style nib?

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Great question and sorry I didn’t make that clear! It’s the same as the original only more stout.

[@theamoore6787]

@@KarenCampbellArtistThanks! And thanks for the video! Love 💕 my Pitt pens. Just have the thin artist style pens.

[@SarahMaurerUsagigunnDI]

Can you use a clear acrylic gesso instead of mod podge aa sealant instead?

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Hi! Nope! Because there is no adhesive qualities to gesso. But you could use matte or a gel medium if you like!

[@SarahMaurerUsagigunnDI]

@@KarenCampbellArtist ok thank you. 🙂👍
