Arteza Water Brush Pens, Set of 6, with Assorted Soft Nylon Bristle Tip Sizes, Self-Moistening Water Color Paint Pens for Aquarelle, Ink, and Watercolor Painting

Love these! I've used other water brushes that are cheaper and they would just constantly drip water if you had any pressure at all while holding them. These are very good at controlling the water drips because they have a specific button to use to allow the drips. PERFECT for plein air watercolor painting, I'm excited to use them more! (I will say, mine stained after one use but that's as I expected since most white bristles don't stay white no matter how well you clean them)

I really enjoy painting with watercolor but it is kind of a pain to get everything out and full cups of water and sit at a table. I discovered watercolor pencils recently which made it possible to sketch my image while lounging on the couch but I still had to sit at a table with the cups of water once it was time to turn the pencil sketch into a watercolor painting. Then I came upon these Arteza Water Brush Pens and oh wow what a game changer. I can sit back on the couch now and using only my watercolor pencils and these water brushes complete my project. I actually find these easier than using a traditional brush because I always have a hard time controlling the amount of water on my brush. These brush pens distribute the right amount of water and if I am not sure I just do a practice squeeze on my hand to check. The water well holds enough water to cover hours of work. I didn't even read the instructions on how to fill them because they were so simple. Just open, fill, screw back on the cap and done. When I am ready to change colors I just pump out a couple of drops of water and wipe the brush on a little rag I keep next to me. Because the water distribution is so even I don't have problems of constantly needing to dab extra water off the paper because it pools. The brushes put out enough water to fully blend each small section enough that pencil lines are no longer visible. The size of the brushes are perfect and have just enough stiffness. They come in both round and flat. I really love these and highly recommend them to anyone using watercolor pencils. I haven't yet tried them with other forms of watercolor so I can't say how they would do but I could imagine they would work well. Totally would buy these again although they are made well so I doubt I will need to any time soon.

I previously ordered a set of 18 water brushes from a different company and they were an abominable mess… The brushes didn’t dispense properly and leaked on my artwork and hands. I was LIVID, so I ordered these from Arteza. I was cautious because I kept seeing Arteza products all over Amazon and assumed their stuff would just be mass produced garbage…. But I always rely on researching these things before I draw a final conclusion and I’m GLAD I did. The Arteza brushes come in a set of six; three flats, three rounds… They have a solid construction. When you open them up and look at the brush part, you can tell the valve design is more sophisticated than the cheap varieties. On the reservoir/handle half of the brush, there is a rubber grip/bulb for dispensing more liquid. Not only is it immediately responsive so you’re not squeezing constantly, but the depth you depress the bulb controls the AMOUNT of liquid dispensed. This was VERY important to me because I wanted to use them for dispensing liquid pigment. Being able to have greater precision for this purpose is ideal! I’ve used other, more established brands in the past that did not work this well. Needless to say, I’m extremely happy with this purchase and would enthusiastically recommend these to other artists. I’m not some paid reviewer either - I just feel the need to write reviews to either warn others of making a mistake or turn them on to a product that is superior. Arteza water brushes are superior. Well worth the money.

I am disabled and a professional artist. I like these because they allow me to paint while in bed. The convenience is a winner for me. They hold like a regular brush and do quite well. I've painted size 8.5 x 10 down to 2 x 2 inches using these pens. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is because the lids don't fit on the end of the pen. I have to sit the lid down somewhere and risk losing it. Despite that flaw, I recommend the product. Pros. Easy to use, handles well with watercolor and acrylic. Cleans up well with soap and water. Sturdy product. Con. The cap doesn't fit on the bottom. The product, like every other watercolor pen I've ever used, can dispense too much water at times. I don't consider the flaws enough to pass up purchasing. You just need to be mindful that all watercolor pens to date may at times dispense too much water. Be careful and enjoy yourself.

These pens are really great for the price. Good quality and I'm super impressed for the price I paid. It comes with 6 water brush pens and I use just about all of them! The six pens are An extra small detail tip (round) A medium tip (round) A large tip (round) (personally, this one is my favorite) A small flat tip A medium flap tip And a large flat tip. (My least favorite) The larger brushes are harder to control the water flow because they have either so much water in them its a little overwhelming or they tend to be so dry you can barely use then and there's really no in between. The water does flow considerably well however, wetting the bristles well enough (in the medium sizes) the rubber squeeze button is nice if a little weirdly shaped, causing me to readjust my grip to squeeze it properly. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend these to any starting out artist with a tight budget and even a professional. Additional notes: The caps for the larger brushes don't have a stopping point and with enough pressure, you have the potential to damage the bristles because the lid simply slips on over the barrel. The smaller brush tips don't have that issue. They also roll all over the place and the caps don't stay on the ends of the brushes during use.

Pros: They are really very long. Not sure if I actually like that. The Caps seal well and they are some of the better water brushes I have used. They seem sturdy. They hold a good deal of water. The squeeze mechanism is Handy and allows more adjustment than the ones where you squeeze the whole bulb reservoir of the pen body. They are a good price for the quality Cons: These stain, like any brush. the water comes out kattywampus sometimes and drips out the side by the base of the bristles. They take up a lot of room for on the go. It's not like using a real brush, but no water brushes are as good a quality as a proper watercolor brush, IMO. I would buy them again considering some water brushes are total junk. These are some of the better ones and for about $2 each, one can't complain.

These work great I really like them.

The quality is excellent, but I was unhappy with the brush tip sizes. The rounded ones had very little differences between them and the flat ones had the same problem. The flat were also too big for me and the rounded ones were too small. I did not use them, just returned them.

My daughter a professional artist absolutely loves these.

Aproveche una oferta y me hice con este juego para pode utilizarlos en conjunto con mis colores acuareleables. Y la experiencia de uso ha sido buena, son de calidad y en cuanto a tamaño y forma son bueno para mi que tengo manos grandes.

Love love love these!! The water flow is smooth and easy to control. They don't leak and work great for traveling. The different sizes are awesome for getting different details/textures in the paintings. I had never used water brush pens before and now I don't think I can go back to regular brushes! I plan to bring them hiking with me so I can paint while out in nature. I can't wait!

Good stuff.

Great water pens,very useful.
