Visconti have released 4 of the 12 pens from their Van Gogh Impressionist collection
*Portrait Blue – light blue-turquoise, with reddish streaks
*Starry Night – blue with light blue, yellow and orange veins
*Sunflowers – yellow with orange and green sprinkles
*Room in Arles – brown with orange and rust red shades

Dr. Gachet – gray and blue, melted with light blue and brown
Vincent Chair – acid yellow with greenish and bluish streaks
Gauguin’s Chair – dark blue-green with beige and burgundy veins
Pine Trees – mixed deep green orange and yellow
Orchard in Blossom – view of Arles – pale blue lavender blue with rosy shadings

Pollard Willows – brown and green with multicolor streaks, from blue to rust red

This photo from Facebook of 'their 2014 Distributors Meeting' shows drawers of some pens that could be VanGoghs - maybe the Irises & Pollard Willows. Along with some white & very pale pink Rembrandt/Michelangelo looking pens

Have there been any indications of if or when the rest of the pens will be available apart from the expensive 12 pen set.

There is also "Just to give you a taste of what you'll be able to see this year, we'll mention the new Homo Sapiens Demonstrator, the new version of Knights Templar and the pen dedicated to the Oud, made of scented wood."

Will they use transparent lava resin for the HS demonstrator :confused:

There were also a few photos of Divinas including a red one (Tracy Lee are you tempted ?)

The Self-Portrait is on my short list. But...

Those pinks!

Those pale pinks do look nice don't they. I hope they are truly that colour and not whites with a shadow or lighting effect on them.

Chatterley Luxuries has the VanGogh Set up on their site & if your scroll down to the last photo you can see the full set. Some of them look very attractive.

Late last year I asked on FPN about when some more of the Van Gogh's might be released. Susanna from Giardino spoke to Visconti and apparently some more will be released this year, probably later in the year, but no info on which ones or how many of them.

The Irises looks gorgeous, I'll certainly be getting some of the others too

Bogon, I could be tempted by a red Divina indeed. That is the only one listed here that interests me that I could afford (Templar so expensive). Not a Van Gogh fan, no matter how many they make. But to look at, they can do lovely colors.

I know I'll put this on my to-buy list when it comes out: Gauguin’s Chair – dark blue-green with beige and burgundy veins.

Yellow is my favorite color, so Sunflowers is on my future list

The Room in Arles I bought sight unseen has a pattern that looks very much like the Sandals pen in the old series - almost like reddish-brown marble. My jaw dropped when I opened the box for the first time as all the ones I had seen prior to that were a deep red with less colour variation.

I totally see the similarity and The Room in Arles would be my second choice. :thumb:

The colours in Irises are catching my eye as being a first choice then maybe the pale Orchar in Blossom


Irises – light bright green, with yellow and violet brushstrokes
Orchard in Blossom – view of Arles – pale blue lavender blue with rosy shadings

One of the newer VanGogh Impressionist pens has hit eBay.
The Pollard Willows.

Unfortunately not a very good photo or scan. It appears to have an impressive amount of colour and swirling.
The box came out ok though !
