Thank you so much for this video! I am definitely an amateur, but one thing I have learned about these waterbrushes that might be helpful, or at least interesting to you, is that when wanting to rinse out the color from the brush, it actually works better to me to use some kitchen roll to wipe the brush as I lightly squeeze the handle to let the clean water flow through. It basically washes the color out of the bristles and into the kitchen roll and then when you release the body of the brush, it doesn't suck color back into the reservoir. This is handy for travel painting so you don't need to set up a washing container. Also, it's worth noting that different brands that make these will have different amounts of water that flow through to the tip via gravity while you're using them, watering down the paints. I forget which brand it is (perhaps Pentel?) but I know there is at least one that really doesn't allow much water to freely flow down so you are able to have a bit more control over the consistency of your paints. Thank you again for all of your wonderful videos!

I didn't know about these water brushes, as I use brushes for acrylic paints, but your two artworks are beautiful. I like the finer point brush as it seems great for detail and fine lines. The wider brush made a great effect for the backgrounds in both paintings. The water brushes look like fun to try!❤

Funnily enough, I used one (or two) of these for the first time yesterday. I wanted to try them with soluble graphite, and with this medium I thought they worked well possibly better than my usual watercolour brushes, although this is completely subjective. The fine brush seems to give a lot of control when converting the laid down graphite to a more paint like surface. I had less success with a broader flat style brush which takes a lot more water to dampen the the larger surface of bristles and as a result was harder to control. I also couldn't fit the flat brush back into the cap properly and ended up with lots of bent bristles. I should say that I have only a little experience previous of soluble graphite and none of water brushes so someone more experienced might have had a different experience.

Hi Keith, yes I agree with you regarding needing more experience. Even though I've been painting for over 40 years, this is the first time I've really tried something like these out. I can imagine they are very handy out in the field. 😃

I have had my waterbrush for a while - purchased to use whilst out and about on my travels but have never used it. I think I need to give it a test run. Thank you for the video. 🙏
