Faber-Castell - Pitt Oil Based Pencils
Pitt Oil Based Pencils
Sketch precise details that stay crisp without smudging or water damage
Permanent marks that stay put, oil-based pigments bond to paper and resist smudging even under repeated handling. Faber-Castell formulates these pencils to maintain sharp points through extended detail work, eliminating the frustration of constantly resharpening mid-drawing. Water resistance means you can layer watercolor or ink washes over your linework without bleeding or softening, opening up mixed media possibilities that water-soluble graphite can't handle.
The oil binder creates slightly waxy marks that feel different from standard graphite, smoother glide, less tooth-grab, more controlled release. This characteristic makes Pitt Oil-based pencils particularly effective for precise contour drawing and architectural sketching where clean, crisp lines matter. They excel at underlayers in mixed media work, providing stable foundations that won't lift or smear when you add subsequent layers.
Artists working in sketchbooks appreciate how these pencils perform on various paper surfaces without the ghosting or transfer that plagues softer graphite. The marks stay where you put them, session after session, making them reliable for drawings you'll return to over time or transport frequently.
