Pentel Aquash Water Brush Pen Medium Tip (1 Single Brush) Pack of 1

The idea of these is that you fill the reservoir with water, and then use them exactly like a brush but without the need for a water-container. This makes them perfect for outdoor work - there is no leakage of water while you are carrying them around and they can be used instantly as soon as you take the cap off them. I saw a fellow-artist using these brushes with watercolour pencils and noticed how easily he could blend in the colours with them. With just a few watercolour pencils and one of these water-brushes you are equipped for any sketching trip. They also work fine with watercolour paint but you might find it easier to have a water-jar handy to rinse them out as you would soon get through the reservoir if you keen wanting to squeeze it to wash one colour out before putting another one on. These are so good you wonder why not every water-media artist does not have them in their equipment box. Even if you don't want to use them often, they are useful for just touching up a finished painting - ideal for example for washing-out or replacing a bit of mis-placed colour. A very good product - whenever I show them to a fellow-artist they always want one for themselves. A perfect gift of any water-colour painter or watercolour pencil painter.

I've had these for around about 8 weeks and I've used them numerous times since then. I've never really tried watercolours before, so I was trying these as a complete beginner but I was pleasantly surprised! They're incredibly easy to use, you just unscrew them, and then fill them with water, screw them back together and you're good to go! It's simply a case of giving them a little squeeze to get going and then you can pick up the watercolour of your choice and start. There's no steep learning curve to using these, they're incredibly easy to use. It's as easy as using a felt tip pen. My sister is doing art at college and has used these a few times and has said they're much easier to use compared to paint brushes just because you have so much more control and they're very familiar to use if you're more inclined to using pencil colours or pens. I have nothing negative to say! They're a great price, easy to use, easy to clean. I've even let my four year old use them and he had no trouble with them what so ever. :)

I bought these to use with some watercolour pencils I received as a gift for Christmas (Staedtler Karat - 60 colour set) so that I could try something different with my adult colouring books. I've not had much experience with watercolours before - neither the paint variety nor the pencil variety, but I am finding these brush pens to be ideal for me so far. I love that I don't have to have a jar of water next to me meaning that I can use these brushes even when I'm feeling unwell and so want to colour in bed. They don't leak at all which is great and don't seem to require any pressure at all to deliver the water to the tip. However, if you hold them totally vertical, you don't risk all the water leaking out. If you are familiar with any of Pentel's liquid ink pens, then you will recognise the use of the same kind of slow-flow mechanism (for want of a better word) in these brush pens. It works just as well with water as it does with ink in their pens. They seem to blend the colours together nicely when using the smallest amount of water (I've kept one brush pen free of water and use the others to add tiny amounts of water) to retain a strong colour, and if you use more it gives the more traditional watery sweep of colour across the page. So they seem very good for the novice, even if I'm not using the "correct" techniques. They do what I want them to do at least! So I am very happy with this set so far. I will update my review later if anything changes for better or worse.

I've tried rather a few of these waterbrushes and never been really happy with them. So it was with some trepidation that I ordered these. However,once they were here and is filled them up,given them a squeeze I was delighted to find they're readout lovely to use. The water flow is just right,although I did wipe the brush too dry once and had to give it another squeeze,it posed no problem. I don't see why people are saying they flood as I've not found this. They are well made and ideal for traveling as you don't have to take water with you. They can filled from any tap but you'll find the water in the barrel lasts a long time. Well done Pentel for making some decent brushes. I won't be using any other brush from now on.

So cheap - but great quality. I use them just with plain water and the Schminke Horodam 12 colour box, and sometimes use with plain water to create tones on a non-waterproof ink drawing. Between colours just squeeze a little & wipe gently on eg kitchen towel. A little staining remains on the brush but you can ignore this as it does not transfer out at all into the next colour. The brushes have very fine points - and in fact I have found that the medium meets all my needs from very fine lines to areas (size of picture up to eg 20x15cm). Worth buying the 3 set though to allow either very fine or very broad work. So far after a few weeks use on & off the brush seems as good as new. The brush has very fine 'hairs' and springs back to shape well - so produces perfect effects - ideal for portable sketching.

Having invested in some nice watercolour pencils I trawled around looking for a reasonably priced, dependable water brush pen to use alongside the pencils. I decided to try this one. I was unsure whether to get the small tip, or the medium. So, I went for the medium and glad I did. The brush head is large enough to cover some space if needed. But, has a small enough tip to use for the more delicate, tiny areas. Its easy to fill, and empty. Carries enough water to last a while in one sitting if you were out and about. Also, if you learn how to squeeze it just right, you can have good control over the water flow. Its bristles are just the right texture, not too soft and not too hard. Lastly, you have to remember to flush the brush through after each use, so that the colours do not stain, or ruin parts of your artwork. I believe this will last a while. Can't go wrong with this Pentel brand one.

These brushes like always are perfect. They come in 3 different sizes which makes it super useful for when you want to do some watercolour or ink drawings on the go. You can also fill them straight away with ink to create really quick washes on your drawings and give them that extra pop. One flaw that I have always found, but it doesn't really bother me is that if you accidentally squeeze the brush too hard water will come out from where you open it, which is absolutely normal as you shouldn't be squeezing it too hard anyways. However if you do it makes is super easy to clean the colour off the brush thanks to the extra water. When buying these brushes you do have to keep in mind what type of colouring you do, and do some tests before using it as you might end up with a very thick/dense colour on the paper instead of a very watery feel. It really is up to personal preference, but tests are important to see what fits your style better :)

On the one hand I love these brushes - so handy to have the water in the barrel and the nylon tips are surprisingly good with watercolours. However, I do find the water comes out a bit too much and often floods my painting. Any pressure on the bush tip seems cause more water to flow. The unreliability means I only use these in my sketch book - and for out and about quick sketches these are great. I personally don't recommend them for use on a final painting, as you'll probably get blotches of water and paint in places you don't want it.

Qualité parfaite pour des pinceaux synthétique avec réservoir on voit à l'ouverture que le "Poil" a une tenu et une pointe vraiment parfaite il a un effet presque huileux ce qui lui donne un aspect vraiment qualitatif au niveau de la pointe, les poils se remettent bien en place et le débit est constant peut être que certains le préfèrerais un peu plus fort c'est seul petit point à discussion sinon je les recommandes par rapport aux prix alléchant de certains dont les poils sont de moins bonne qualité.

Verpakking was open, penseel was nat en verkleurd

I have a couple brands of this type of brush. These are better quality. the squeeze is easiest and consistent pressure. They also don't leak

Heute bekommen, gleich ausprobiert: das sind Wassertankpinsel auf einem anderen Level! Bisher hatte ich billige no-name Wassertankpinsel, die mal gratis bei einem günstigen Aquarellpapier dabei waren. Der Unterschied ist riesig! Ich bin sehr froh, diese von Pentel jetzt zu haben. Sie geben sehr gleichmäßig Wasser ab, bei den anderen musste ich dafür immer voll draufdrücken. Ich benutze sie für Aquarellbilder in einem kleinen Skizzenbuch für unterwegs. Allerdings sind die von Pentel so gut, dass ich sie jetzt sicher auch für daheim verwenden werde, zumindest mit meinem kleinen und winzigen Skizzenbuch. Dazu habe ich auch noch so ganz kleine Reisepaletten (mit Magneten, zum Klappen und zum Dranklammern ans Skizzenbuch). So kann ich einfach mal kurz zwischendurch ein kleines Bildchen malen, ohne groß Wassergefäße etc. bereitzustellen. Ich bin begeistert und gebe eine absolute Kaufempfehlung!👍👍👍

je m'étais jurée de ne jamais céder à ce genre d'article pour peindre à l'aquarelle et on m'en avait offerts que je ne retrouve pas j'en ai vite racheté un et pour les avoir essayés, c'est génial, c'est vraiment agréable pour peindre dehors par exemple . Maintenant, je n'ai plus envie de m'en passer . Comme quoi, il ne faut pas dire "jamais"
