The New Colors of Pentel Brush Sign Pens

February 7, 2020

New Pentel Brush Pen Colours via Happy Hands Project

Oh look, new colors! I’ve been a fan of Pentel brush sign pens for a very long time, and I’m so glad to be able to give you guys a first look at these new colors. They come in the same flexible tips that we all love, perfect for beginners and seasoned lettering artists alike.

There are twelve new colors of the Pentel brush sign pen. I wrote the colors of each pen and I must say that except for the light colored ones, the shades are all very vibrant and highly saturated. Burgundy and turquoise green have amazing contrast against my white card stock.

The grey blue and pale pink pens, albeit light, still showed up nicely on the white textured card stock. These pens are perfect for brush lettering and illustrations. The pale pink looks like cherry blossoms and it’s a very pretty shade.

When composing brush lettering pieces with these pens, my advice is to use the darker shades for the words and use the light and pale ones for flourishes and illustrations. Mix and match. Experiment. It’s going to be fun!

Brush lettering has now become even more exciting with these new shades! The new colors of Pentel brush sign pens will be available from the 8th of February 2020 here in Singapore.

When was the last time you wrote a letter to yours When was the last time you wrote a letter to yourself? 💌 
 
During ou workshop, everyone received these pretty Cafe Mary Grace greeting cards. The prompt was simple: write something heartfelt. It could be for a loved one, or a message for your future self. 
 
I decided to write to my future self for this demo. No need for perfection, just enjoying the ink touching the paper, especially when the paper is this smooth. 
 
Save this for the next time you need a reminder to slow down and check in with yourself. 🤍

A slow afternoon well spent. 🤍    I recently taugh A slow afternoon well spent. 🤍 
 
I recently taught the very first workshop for @cafemarygrace ‘s Art of Slow series at their gorgeous Parqal Mall branch. Instead of worrying about perfect technical form, we focused entirely on intention, mindful creation, and embracing the simple joys of slow living. 
 
The afternoon culminated in everyone writing a heartfelt letter to themselves or someone they love, finished with a traditional wax seal. ✉️✨ 
 
To cap off the experience, we treated our senses to Mary Grace’s delicious new menu additions: the Vigan Longganiza Pasta, refreshing Lemon Basil Soda, and their delicious Mango Mousse. 
 
Thank you to everyone who paused their busy days to create with us. Here’s to more moments of slowing down.

This time I’m trying it out with my Pilot parallel pen and On Ink’s ‘turon’. We Filipinos like lumpia and turon is a version of it that’s filled with brown sugar, jackfruit strips and sweet plantain bananas (called ‘saba’ bananas locally). 😊

I got two new inks from @inksbyvinta during the @manilapenshow. Haribon turned out to be a desaturated version of lavender, kind of like its introverted sister. It’s a beauty and I love it. The shimmer didn’t show up on the Rhodia pad, so I have to try it on a different kind of paper. 
 
Makopa, on the other hand, is loud and screams ‘main character’. It’s mostly a bright magenta when used with a broad nib. It reminds me of the fruits from our makopa tree we had when I was a kid. 🩷
