I didn’t go through all the comments to see if anyone has mentioned this but after filling the reservoir you can point the barrel up and push the plunger all the way back in. You’ll lose a small amount of water but the reservoir and feed section will remain full and I’ve found that there’s usually plenty of water remaining. This keeps you from accidentally pushing the plunger and also makes the brush length more manageable.
Faber Castell has a water brush exactly like that. I bought one and works pretty good. The bad part is over time the piston get sort of stuck and the water can't go as easily as usual. The solution I found is to fill it with clean vinager, including the tip, for about 12 hours and it gets back to normal. I hope this helps anyone... :)
+Pablo Andres Morales Muñoz Thanks for the input.
Awesome tip! Thanks a lot for it!
That makes sense. You are supposed to run plain white vinegar through your coffee maker every now and then to clean out mineral deposits. (or maybe you could try using distilled water, in the water brush)
Thank you! I will remember this. Vinegar has so many different uses!
Instead of carrying a rag or paper to clean my waterbrush I use an old white sock [clean :) ] and cut the toe out - then I pop it on my non-dominant wrist [like a tennis players sweat band]. To clean the brush I wipe off on the sock and they are easy to throw in the wash with your rags. Also I don't have paper that easily blows away when I don't pay attention. I hope someone can use this tip.
Nice tip thanks!
Bigs awesome tip !! I would start doing that
Wow great idea
Amazing tip, thx. :)
Bigs Awesome idea! Thanks. 😊
Thank you for doing these type of reviews. Being on disability it helps a lot in making choices for artists who have limited funds. I always look forward to your videos as I learn a lot and I like your no nonsense approach to teaching. Thank you for sharing your skills. Merry xmas to you and your family.
+Kalembastudio Thanks, glad they're a help. Merry Christmas!
I'll second that! I am disabled too, so have to do all my shopping online plus have limited funds. If I order the wrong product, too bad so sad, that was all I could afford for now.
And I find time and time again, when I try too hard to save money, I end up spending more in the long run to get a product that works. So reviews like this make my life so much better and easier. Thank you!💚
I found that the felt tip works well with water soluble colored pencils and it is not a bad scrubber, too.
I imagine the felt tip would work well on certain papers, just like the Tombow blender. Tombow blender works FABulous on some paper and quite poorly on others, and it's difficult to tell which paper without testing it.
It might also work better with watercolor pencils rather than Inktense, but I have not tested that theory.
Yes, you are right, the bullet-shaped nip is for drawing. You fill up the tank with ink or liquid watercolor. It is quite fun to play with. I used Diamine Shimmer, pretty cool for effect inks. I guess as long there is no shellack in the ink, it is safe.:) I only use them as travel brushes.
Caran d'ache has always been a favorite of mine since I was in school of art, l love their products. I don't have this particular water color brushes but I can tell you that the one with like a marker nib is a blender pen. Allot of crafters or card makers use this sort of pen to blend ink in their coloring. I've have done this with Distress Inks and they work beautiful to blend color and give shadows. Hope that makes sense, thanks for the review now I might given a try :D
Cool, thanks! Sort of what I figured.
Have a great Christmas!Thanks for all the tutorials!
I thumbed up right away for the eyelash fluttering at the start 😹
+The Little Mew 😃
me too!!
Oh that's funny I had to go back and look. I paused it to make dinner right at the beginning. So I could eat and watch.
I love that felt tip ...I can see sooo many applications for that!! Thanks so much for the demo.....
Great video. I have this set and didn't know if there was another way to fill the brushes. Thanks for the helpful tips. You are always generous.
The felt tip works great for watersoulble media, like soluble colored pencils, Inktense, aqua-oil-pastells, gelsticks....
Also they work great with these media in coloring books because they aren't as wet and give a very nice result
Yes, finally found out that Caran d'ache stated that as their intended purpose. Thanks!
Thank you very much for this review. I have been wondering about the differences between brands!
The felt tip might be useful for coloring books. Thanks for the review. I’ve been wondering about these.
Merry Christmas! Thank you for the reviews. It does help to have you do these reviews.
+Grace Castro Glad to hear it!
I use my waterbrushes primarily when I use ink intense pencil drawings on fabric. It does not bleed, and looks amazing.
I absolutely enjoy and learn from each one of your videos.
Thank you for sharing your talent
Ohhh new water brushes!! I like the piston loading. As for the felt tip brush is definitely a new thing for me. Although I began watercolor painting with the Pentel Aqua Brushes 4-piece set, which is definitely my favorite set.
Thanks for a nice review! Once in a time I saw someone using the Prisma colors and the felt tip brush filled with Gamsol to blend colors.
Happy Holidays Steve and Reese! Thank you so much for all your videos, I adore every single one of them! And thank you for the quality and effort you put into them, it's obvious how professional and thorough your videos are and it's so appreciated :)
Can't wait for more videos, cheers!
+Tabitha Yi Very kind, thank you and thanks for watching!
Hello, I have these, and love them. I push the plunger back into the pen. It leaves plenty of water in the barrel, and you don't have to worry about accidentally pushing the plunger in and water going everywhere. Especially in a pencil case. The pen is shorter that way also. Have a great new year! :-)
+Rain Neko Ok, thanks for the input!
I really like the way you have listed links so we can look at the same product you review..!! Really enjoying these Products Reviews 👊😎
I got this in the may sketchbox and wanted to make sure I was using the fiber tipped waterbrush right. you went through all the differences in these waterbrush versus typical ones. great review 😊 I love the fiber tipped brush for watercolor pencils. I've never been super into waterbrushes, I just prefer brushes unless I'm inking or writing, but the fiber brush is better than any waterbrush I've used, in my opinion 😊😊😊
Thanks for the review. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
Thank you for the great review !
I love this waterBrush above all others. I do not own the felt type tip. I've owned mine around 5 years, the brush tips still work great. Easy to clean & fill.
I really love this set, it's something on my wish list for sure. I can't wait to try that felt tipped one I do a lot of watercolor pencil drawings and it looks awesome. Thanks for the review!
+Susie LaLonde 👍
I hope you and Reese (and your family of course) had a very Merry Christmas! I truly enjoy your sense of humor in your videos. Keep it up. Wishing you and yours a Happy New Year!
+Sally Yotz Thanks and a Happt New Year to you!
First of all, thanks again for being such a sweet heart always sharing!! You are awesome and have very good sense of humor!! 😄👍 I‘ve been looking for water brush supplies a long while now, since I‘m a beginner sometimes I feel lost, thanks to you for providing this information!
+yaya bubibu You're quite welcome. Thanks for watching!
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the review and tips!
Thanks and merry Christmas,
Reaaaaalllly want that felt tip. Awesome!
👍
The felt tip works well to emulsify Neocolor II Caran d'Ache water soluble wax pastels, as well as water soluble pencils. Perhaps this is what the company intended to do? I like the piston mechanism, as it does not allow dirty water from the tip to come back to the reservoir. I've had this happen with Pentel or Faber Castell water brushes. Thanks for this test/review, Steve.
Was interested in seeing a nib water brush in action and your demo was very informative . I always love your videos, thanks!
+Carolyn Rose 👍
The small one would be good for signing your artwork! I like it!!!
👍
You deserve way more subscribers you are amazing and thank you for every video you have helped me so much and as a 13 year old artist that went to art classes since being 5 I learned a ton! Thank you from Israel♡
+Idel Mendiuk You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Merry Christmas, Steve, to you and yours. Thanks for all you do with your wonderful videos. Looking forward to more in 2016.
+Sharon Nolfi You're welcome. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the review. They do sound like something useful for my travel kit. A Merry Christmas to you and yours, and a healthy and happy New Year to all!
+Mary Vivit Merry Christmas to you as well!
Thank you and Merry Christmas, Steve.
+Laurie Cass And a very Merry Christmas to you also!
The felt tip brush works great with the crayons it helps blends out the medium. Thanks for all doing all these great videos!!!
+Jennifer Hammond 👍
Thank you for the lovely review, and a Happy New Year.
As for the felt tip water brush, I like to use it for lifting dried watercolour from the paper. It's not as fine as it could be, but it's nice for dots and lines. It scrubs away colour much better than the softer tips of the brushes.
Thanks for the input!
I've been watching these segments, on and off, for a few months. It is little tips and observations that help me understand this mysterious medium. I had a great and supportive instructor during my High School years. At the time, he thought me good enough to help in his adult night classes for two semesters. But, as most would share, that was over 40 years ago. A stroke or three, wiped out my dormant talents as a watercolorists, of sorts. Gone was my, "on board" knowledge of the medium. It has been a struggle to just draw due to hand, eye, muscle coordination. I find Steve's little segments very helpful. I find him knowledgeable and more then willing to share his knowledge in a relaxing, matter of fact approach. My wife, pictured in the profile photo, can come and relax with Steve and Reese and follow along. Steve's segments on water color pencils, and water brushes opened-up a whole new world to me. Thanks and keep 'em comin!
+Jeanne Uzar Thanks so much for watching! Glad they've been a help and inspiration.
merry christmas!!! lovely video as always!
+Ella Vantas Thanks!
Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks for the review of the water brush set and as it happens I am needing to replace a couple of water brushes that I have had for 5-7 years. I did not know about these and I am going to continue them as well I am going back to view your other water brush reviews since I find you observations and opinion in these matters so helpful. Della
+D Phillips (the bicycle lady) Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Once again, very informative, thank you. Merry Christmas Steve to you and your family. Looking forward to more from you in the new year.
+Glenise Pearson Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Great tips, thank you. I use a similar brush from Faber Castle (spelling?), and it has a fine point. I rarely get a wet brush with it no matter how I squeezed the bulb. After seeing your video, I understand now why the fine tip stays so dry. I'll try a wider tip now. I really like the piston feature for filling it. I can't wait to try out some of your tips. I love your videos, they encourage me as a beginner to watercolor painting. Have a blessed new year. My mascot, Princess, and I look forward to painting with you in the new year!
😀 thanks and Happy New Year!
great review! wish you a merry christmas too!
+jenny gort 🎄😄
My watercolors have been staining the tips of these - especially the the red one. The same thing happened to my Polar Flo brushes. It was helpful for the tips to stay white so I could see when they were loaded with color, but now I can't see much because of the staining. Oh well.
I found that to fill the piston completely (and easily) - put the part with the hole in the water and pull the piston. Then take it out of the water and hold it do the part with the hole is at the top. The air in the tube should rise to the top and the water will settle to the bottom. Carefully push the piston up until the water reaches the top where the hole is. Then place the unit back into the water and pull once more. This should fill the entire unit with water.
You were right! Just found a brochure on the water brush with the bullet tip that said it was to be used with watercolor pencils and pastels.
+Carol Melancon Cool!
Goulet Pens has; or, will be getting that same set. I'd love to have a piston fill waterbrush. I imagine you could fill the felt tip brush with ink instead of water.
Merry Early Christmas! I loved this video!! 😄😄🎁🎄
+alvin alvin Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Ooops...forgot to wish you a very Merry Christmas too, and to tell you how much I enjoy you and Reese. I'm brand now to watercolor and I've learned a lot from you.
Thanks, Merry Christmas to you also!
They sell the caran d’ache ones at my local art supply store but not the pentel aquash. I got the Kuretake water brushes instead though, they’re decent enough. The controlling of the water flow is similar to the pentel I think. But to fill them up with water, you only have a teeny hole so you have to fill it up by pressing the handle to suck up water rather than holding it under a faucet
That felt-tip style brush would be perfect for watercolor pencils or water soluble pastels. Not only did I learn that Caran d'Ache makes these, Fabriano comes in blocks?! Hotpress I hope!
Great to see you before Christmas. On vacation in Thailand and I love browsing the only waterbrush I have seen is this one at more than double my Pentel in uk. I have been wondering why, so now I know.
With the syringe you surely cannot load it at home, I find so far my Pentel doesn't leak so you need no access to water.
I actually fill it and a small spritzer with a syringe for refilling printer ink.
Merry Christmas.
Cool! Thanks for the input.
Thanks Steve and Merry Christmas .. Your video's are great for this ole doodler.. Your Style fits my comefort level .. again Thanks and look forward to seeing more this coming year ... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
+John W Davidick Merry Christmas to you as well! Thanks for your viewership.
Happy Holidays Steve...I have one of thoses brushes, and I found that if you post the cap the piston will push water out unless you hold the piston..good quality brush...haven't seen that set...thanks for the review and all of your great, informative videos!
+Eileen Goldenberg Thanks for the input Eileen! Have an awesome Holidays yourself.
If size is an issue, you can shorten it by pressing in the piston after you fill it with water because the piston contains water as well.
I can see using the red one for more of a line and wash painting. Thanks for the info!
👍
Just got that felt tip with April's Sketchbox. It's hard to carry filled up with water in the field due to the fact the plunger can be accidentally pushed down easily. I used it with watercolor pencils and it's ok but I much prefer my water brushes when I use the pencils. Just my opinion but I think it's a lot easier to blend. Maybe I just need to practice with it a bit more. Great review!
If you half-fill the reservoir, you can push the plunger down. It must have a hole in it because it fills up with the existing water in the reservoir and won't force any water out. Hope that helps. I carry mine with water all the time and they don't leak (so far). --nina.
Thank you I will try the vinegar tip for unclogging.:)
Thank u so much for ur review. I'm a newbie looking for info before I spend more money on things I may not use : ))
You can actually collapse the brush even when the reservoir is full! After filling, you can turn it into a vertical position so that the back of the brush is pointing downwards and filling hole up. At this point water will flow inside the piston which is hollow inside. Now you can push the piston back, and only air (and possibly a little bit of excess water) will be expelled.
+Akos Kovacs You can fill it so both the body and piston are full. If you do that you can't collapse it without expelling water through the brush.
Recently I'll been using those and I think that it works for me. The only thing that could be tricky it's a windy weather condition. The water regulation is not so perfect and you have to work very fast. Otherwise not so much to complain about it. Thank you for all. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
+Mirta Xiomelys Cabrera Thanks. Merry Christmas to you!
I have a water brush I have used in conjunction with water colour pencils which I think is the best combination . Great video have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. As usual I look forward to your next video.
+John Noordermeer Yes, water brushes are perfect for WC pencil. Thanks!
Immediately ordered 2 of the fiber tip water pen. As someone who uses colour pencil a lot I think I'll try to fill one of them with colour pencil blending median. Fingers crossed that the plastic body can withstand the corrosion of the spirits.
Merry Christmas to you Steve and to all the followers on your channel. You bust my creation and your videos invite me to try other stuff that i didn't do before.
I've the Caran d'Ace set and also Derwent and Pentel. There of a great use with art journaling and i do use them with primecolors of Derwent Inktense sticks, that i reduce in powder and then delete them in water. I also use them with my Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Sticks and Supracolor pencils. I think the Caran d'Ache set is the best for charging brushes with self prepared liquid watercolor, because of the charging possibilities.
Great with sepia and Pane's grey in my Moleskines books and pre charged with magenta, blue and red i do travel light.
+Giorgio di Hermani Awesome input! Thanks Giorgio!
You sold me, I need that felt tip brush in my life now.
+Zul Harun 😊
Just bought some now🥰
i just got these water brushed too i was wondering about how people were using the felt tip one, i think maybe it is intended for the brush lettering people? thank you for your share
As always, I very much enjoyed your video! I did purchase the set a few months ago and unfortunately did not completely clean the large brush completely and now despite my best efforts, it is totally blocked. I even used another tutorial on filling the chamber, to be sure that I was doing it correctly. The other two work just fine. I've tried soaking it in water and forcing water through. The best I could get was a drop of water escaping from around the outside of the unit, not near the brush, due to the extreme pressure. (I am stuck in bed, due to an injury, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bothered:). Any suggestions?? Thank you!
Hi Steve, this is what Jacksons Art Supply site says about the different tips...just different tools I guess
Suitable for all watercolour on paper techniques. These brushes with a reservoir are practical and easy to use. The three types of tip (large, medium and fibre) provide a full range of tools to explore all water-based techniques (watercolour, gouache, pastel). The pump system makes it easy to clean the brush's synthetic fibres with water. Ideal for travel, art classes as well as quick sketches, this portable set is perfect for fans of watercolour paintings.
Might solve the mystery of that fiber tip
Thanks so much for the input Diane!
Im guessing the felt tip one is used for writing in watercolor and perhaps signing the watercolor artworks?
I Love water brushes, wonder if them are something for me. Thanks for the Review. :)
+Lena Monroe | StudioAttack 👍
I like the water brushes
The zig h20 Detailer brush is amazing for coloring books!
Thanks for the tip!
faber castell has a piston loading brush just like these. It's great for me since I love faber castell. great videos!
+chris vasquez Thanks!
Like this vid, Steve! Wondering if the felt tip water brush wouldn’t work great with activating watercolor pencils? Just playing with
adult coloring pages, this might be a good tool.
I also might add, I’ve really enjoyed the Aquash water brushes..I use a small tipped squeeze bottle( from Hobby Lobby) to refill my pens..it has a cover for the top and the bottle fits nicely in my smaller watercolor travel pack.
2:03 It was very finicky to figure out how to fill the barrel. When I first pulled back the piston back it filled only 1 third or so of the barrell. Then I took it off from the water turned it up, pushed out the air, then repeated again, the second and third time I was able to fully fill the barrell.
I have the black one and I love it! I think they have a better tip than Pentel, higher quality and stiffer bristles, which allows me to have more control. I want to buy the blue one for brush lettering :)
+Marcela Staub They are quite nice in quality. Thanks for the input.
The product rep for Caran D'Ache demonstrated how to fill the brushes at a local CPSA meeting earlier this year. If you were traveling with the plunger extended, you would most likely find a puddle in your bag when it was accidentally pushed back in plus you could easily damage it extended. The plunger is intended to be depressed after filling the waterbrush.
Thanks for the input. I discovered as much through trial and error. Turns out since making this video I've discovered this is not my favorite water brush by a long shot. The little bulb squeezer failed me on a couple occasions. Pentel Aquash is still my favorite. An excellent and dependable performer.
I think I would use the orange felt tip thingy in the field when I work with watercolor pencils. It may be that it gives more control than the brushy thingies.... (I am not a native english speaker, hence the overuse of the word 'thingy'...)
I’d use the felt tip for a scrubber or maybe for blending pencils or something like that….
Merry Christmas
+Vidya B 🎄😃
Thanks! My single brush came with no instructions so i was clueless.Not sure I care for the extended piston though but the brush point works nicely for drawing.
Agreed. The piston seems cool at first but I think I still prefer the simpler squeeze body like the Pentel Aquash.
Another commentator suggested that JetPens has a video on how to fill the brush so the piston doesn't extend. I find that if I half-fill the reservoir, then I can slowly push the piston down -- it must have a hole in it -- it fills up with the existing water in the reservoir and doesn't push the water out. Hope this helps. --nina.
i think maybe if you put down lines with watercolour pencils, that the hard brush works nice with the blending of the pencil lines?
Felt tip brush might be nice with inktense pencils, because somtimes there harder to get the pencil lines of the paper when you add water if you put to much pigment down. nice review and Merry Christmas :)
+Roy Radford Good idea, thanks!
Can you do a review on the Winsor and Newton watercolor sticks?
+BlackFangArtist Yeah I might do that at some point.
🎅🎅🎅 Merry Christmas to you and family!! 🎅🎅🎅🎅
+yaya bubibu 🎄😄
How well do you think the felt tip would work with gouache? Dipping as well as filling the reservoir? Thanks!
Probably a bit too viscous.
jet pens made a video on how to fill it and they actually retracted the piston so the brush isn't actually that long. If that didn't make sense, go check it out!
I will, thanks!
Do you know if there's any way to get just the felt tip one by itself? It looks really interesting to me and I want to give it a try, but the 3 set is a bit out of my price range for just an experiment.
+Yazanico I just checked jerrysartarama and they have them for nearly half the price there. I might give that a try.
Steve, I was wondering if you tried the felt tip brush with fountain pen ink. I'm thinking it might work as a marker.
+Nrai I haven't tried it but it should work. For me that just duplicates the function of other markers I have. I prefer just leaving water in it for blending WC pencil and such.
You mentioned in your studio tour a while back that you make your living in your digital studio- can you make a video kind of going more into detail about that and how you earn money as an artist?
+Holly Davis I may vlog or comment on it from time to time but this channel is dedicated to watercolor painting. My hope is to phase out my graphic design business and make this full time. Thanks for your interest and for watching!
do you use derwert colouring pencils? and happy new year..
+LIVE THE GOOD LIFE Yes I have some. Pretty nice pencils.
do you have any tips or techniques u can share regarding that blender brush or just how to effectly incorporate pencils with watercolor paints....i dont find as many helpful videos with that but i kno artist are getting great details on their beautiful work but not really sharing the secret. lol
Not really. I haven't spent a lot of time with it. Just experiment a little. Its hard like a blending stump but with water.
K well thanks for sharing all the great stuff u do know...i appreciate it
I use them too, but countered that after a while (say ten hours of drawing and painting) one of the brushes didn't flow water unless you pressed very hard. Laying it in water didn't help. It's as if the tip was blocked, as pulling in water in the back part still is possible and quite easy. How can I solve this< because the felt tip is starting too. I use clean water and aquarel/ecoline paint. and aquarelpencil.
Jan Molenaar try soaking it in vinegar for a few hours to remove any built up minerals from the water, pushing the vinegar through to the brush ends, then take it apart for a good soak of all parts. rinse it good afterwards and it will restore it nicely.
I wonder how the felt tip brush would work filling it with colored ink?
I thought the same thing and immediately though about dr ph martin's hydrus!
+Marco Monterroso Probably works fine. I personally prefer to pick it up rather than fill it. You have more control of the amount of color and intensity. Unless you plan to color a very large area. The felt tip nib did seem to facilitate nice controlled washes. I think it works best though as a WC pencil blender.
I new to water coloring, I want to use the watercolors in adult coloring books, will your lessons work like that?
+Deborah Kohler You can definitely adapt some of the techniques. Most coloring books are not designed for watercolor. The paper won't hold up to a lot of water but you can still paint in them if you're careful. This episode I did shows how to deal with them successfully. ua-cam.com/video/FQI64h5CTO8/v-deo.html
The Mind of Watercolor Kristy Rice does adult colouring books on very good card weight watercolour type paper.
Hi Steve .. I was just wondering.. What would you suggest for a beginner? Water brushes or just regular ones? Thanks and have a good day :) can't wait for your next tutorial 👁
Regular. Water brushes are mostly helpful for quick on location sketching. They're a bit more difficult to use and don't do all the things a normal brush does.
+The Mind of Watercolor Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer my Q. Love your work, and can't wait for your next lesson. 🎨
I'm thinking the bullet nib is for filling with a water proof ink for sketching
merry Christmas Steve!
Heather
Could be used that way. I like it best for watercolor pencil blending.
+The Mind of Watercolor I'll have to find a set the blending in your video looks excellent for that for fine details :)
i;m wondering what would happen if you put watercolor or liquid watercolor into the felt tip one instead of plain water, if that would work.....or be advantageous
Should work fine. Could be an advantage if you need to paint a lot of area with one color.
Would that not leave a slight residue in valve/barrel that might work loose at a bad moment? Alright if you commit to one colour and could be fun with inks. Good luck. If you do it feed it back.
