Hello, I am looking for a fine white pen to paint some whiskers on a pastel tiger painting. Will the Pitt Pens go over pastel? If not could you recommend one? Thank you.
Thank you for your enquiry.
Using a white pen over a pastel painting can be problematic as the pen clogs up with the pastel.

There are a number of other products which can be used over a pastel painting.
Hard pastel – these are square pastel which can be purchased in grades in white and black. They are a little harder than soft pastels and enable you add lines, highlights and fine details.
