Faber-Castell 267422 - Tuschezeichner Pitt Artist Pen, 12er Packung, Erdfarben

The main picture shows the correct colours, unlike 2 of the side pictures that look like there are mauves and pinks in this pack! The actual colours are from top to bottom raw umber, nougat, walnut brown, dark sepia, caput mortuum, indian red, sanguine, terracotta, cinnamon, green gold, earth green, chromium green opaque.The only downside is the badly designed box, which is a shame as that was one of the things I liked about this set. It is hard to open the first time you open it and the hinges at the back keep coming off the lugs. It works ok so long as you remember not to shut the box down completely at the front. I have another set in other colours with the same box problem but I still love them anyway.

These are lovely pens and colour selection is great. Just bear in mind that colours aren’t like the ones on the product photo, I have attached image of what they looks like. They are also called ‘Earth colours’ on the label on the box, not ‘autumn’.

I ordered two different boxes of these pens and have been very disappointed with the pens. Three of the pens simply do not work they are DRY and two others do not have proper heads and therefore the colours do not work properly. For months l have been buying and using single pens of this type from a Craft shop in Huddersfield and have never experienced any problems. I now realize that purchasing these pens via Amazon was a mistake and my view is that it seems that the pens have been in stock too long.

As others have noted the pens arrived dried out. Probably due to the shrinkwrap having been damaged. I revived them by dipping the brush tips in water and then touching off the excess water on a paper towel. The Faber-Castell Skin Tones pack I ordered at the same time had the shrinkwrapping intact and the pens were in perfect working order.

I am disappointed with these pens. The 189 - 186 - 175 - 178 - 180 are all almost dryIt is clear from the pens that flow that half of the pack has dried out.I have tried storing them for two days tip down and it has made no differenceI look forward to hearing from you.
