There are thousands of pens
available for art and non-art uses. We stock a large range
for writing and drawing on every sort of surface, waterproof,
watersoluble, metallic, pearlised, pigment based and cheap
and cheerful for kids use. For specific art uses we have
traditional penholders and nibs for drawing and calligraphy.
Somewhere between is the Rotring Art Pen which is a cartridge
pen but with a drawing or a calligraphy nib enabling you
to use it instantly and without carrying a bottle of ink.
ECOLINE
LIQUID WATERCOLOUR
For use with pens or brushes Ecoline is used by designers and
illustrators for its vibrant glowing colours. In a range of
48 colours including a metallic gold the colours are transparent
(except white and metallic) and intense but sadly they are not
as lightfast as traditional pigmented watercolours.

colours plus black and white.

to some degree with water without losing their waterproof quality.
BLACK
INKS
We stock black inks from several different manufacturers for
their subtly different qualities. Higgins Black Magic is prized

film. Talens Indian Ink is a highly pigmented shellac based
ink for brush and pen work. Mitchell Penstyle Ink is designed
for use with Mitchell calligraphy pens
