White pens accents

This is the final post regarding white pens. I wanted to showcase how these pens work on an actual design with the different mediums from the previous post. It's nothing fancy but this should give you and idea how these will work when you use them in your creations.


I used the same six pens from the previous post each one is on a separate part of the design that is seen in the photos.


Tombow markers...

Faber-Castell india ink...

Faber-Castell color pencils...

Gelly Roll metallic...

Faber-Castell watercolor pencils...

Faber-Castell gelatos...


Winston-Newton watercolor paints...



I think the pens look best on the Faber-Castell PITT pens with the india ink. I hope these posts have helped you see the differences in these pens. I hope you enjoy using the white pen in your projects.

White Pens on different mediums

Back again for part 2 of 3 on white pens. Today, you'll see what these pens look like on different art mediums and surfaces.




The samples are on a mixed media paper. One is the surface as is and the other is coated with gesso. I used the top six white pens with tombow markers, gelly roll metallic, water color paints, and an array of faber-castell products (india ink, color pencils, water color pencils and gelatos).


First up is plain surface...



Now gesso...



Yet again not all surfaces or mediums are the same.  The white pens don't seem to work at all with the Tombow markers on either surface. Except for the Faber-Castell watercolor pencils on the plain surface the white pens perform about the same. I think the gesso coated samples look the best but that's just me.

Call the store KEPT Creations 781-447-4010 and let Kim know you one these products.

This is the second of three posts, so check back tomorrow to see how these pens look when used to accent a design colored with the different mediums you saw in this post.
