Intensify colours

Intensify colours with multiple layers of ink: By going over the same ink colour multiple times, the colour saturation and colour density can be enhanced and colour gradients can be created.

Tip-to-tip blending

Tip-to-tip blending is suitable for thin areas where you don’t have enough space to get a blend using other techniques. Use a light colour as your brush, then carefully add a bit of a darker colour to the tip. This technique can also be used to blend colours from different colour families.

Mixing colours

New interesting shades can be created by layering two or more different colours.

Colour gradients

Realising colour gradients with one or more colours is possible as long as the ink is still wet on the paper.

High colour brilliance, long-lasting lightfastness: STAEDTLER’s Multi Ink

Create beautiful designs, such as colourful parrots or exotic plants, in an especially intense colour using the pens from STAEDTLER’s new and high-quality pigment arts pen range. There are different tips in the pigment brush pens, the pigment calligraphy pens, the pigment soft brush pens and the pigment pens – for different applications. But they all share an innovative common feature: Multi Ink, a newly developed premium ink that combines the advantages of multiple ink systems and thus offers exceptional colour brilliance and extreme lightfastness. Multi Ink is colourfast, waterproof, dries quickly on most surfaces and can be painted over after drying – without smearing. Thanks to these properties, products from the pigment arts pen range are suitable for combining different creative painting techniques, materials and painting media. The housing of the pen are made of 97% recycled plastic.
