I think the Pitt pens are not truly suited for highlights as they are not opaque. They are more efficient if you use them as markers to soften some color for a gradient, kinda like white watercolor in a way

In reply to Tina Koyama. Agreed. Those rollerballs get awfully clogged when used in mixed media pieces.

In reply to Tina Koyama. Yes, me too, Tina! I've tried the Faber Castell over watercolor and it just isn't opaque enough.

Great review — I’m always looking for white pens, too (because the Gelly Roll keeps letting me down). I have a pink Milky that I used on cherry blossoms this year — nice and opaque. I find the Pitt white markers to be less opaque than a Gelly Roll (when it’s working).
