Works great really I love it and its all I ever wanted. I have already damaged it in the first 20 minutes out of the box. Do not let water collect at the bottom where its on the stand it will leave a mark like its still wet even when its dry. (the water doesn't drip off into water basin, dry it immediately) this is written in the directions.

A unique product which accomplishes precisely what it was intended for: ~ create and then let go. Watching your creative work gently fade away as it evaporates keeps you living in the moment, for sure. I haven't yet mastered painting with water (can anyone?), but it's fun to try. I keep the Buddha Board in my office and co-workers stop by to release their creative energy. The most amusing drawing was a Chesire Cat, who disappeared just like in Alice's Wonderland :)

we bought these for the store I work at, and I love 'em. You simply dip the brush in water and paint on the surface. There is also a paper on the left of the mini board if you want to write a card.

In a moment your art creation appears, you enjoy it, and then three to five minutes later, it disappears and you create a new masterpiece. Also, the paper last for a while.

very Zen, in the moment, relaxing and no pressure to be artist of the year--just fun.

I saw the Buddha Board at a hotel in Rhode Island and I thought it was the coolest thing. The artist dips a paintbrush into water and draws on the ceramic board. The image lasts a short while and then evaporates. Take a photo if you want to keep the image.

How better to help save the environment as a creative artist? The only drawback would be that the board is fragile and easy to chip. A great creative instrument.

I picked this up for a friend of mine in art school, and she absolutely loved it. It is easy to use, makes no mess unless you sling the water everywhere, and is a great little creative release. I can definitely see how some people see how this could be use for meditation and the like since everything melts away leaving a clean slate every time.

The one caveat of this product is that it is extremely fragile. Don't use anything that isn't a fairly soft brush on the "painting" surface. We had a few people over and noticed the next day that it had a scratch on it, and the scratch turned black like we had painted on it, and it never went away.

Otherwise, it is a total blast to use, so you should definitely pick one up!

I saw this at a museum shop, and didn't have a chance to buy it, so immediately I went looking for it in Amazon World. It's all the fun of a doodle pad, but with a brush. A brush makes bigger, smoother, more-flowing designs than a pencil - I can't paint at all, and it makes my brush-doodles look good. Set it out where everyone who comes by will see it, and if they aren't pleased and charmed, they have no soul or spirit.

It is impossible to resist painting on the Buddha board! Everyone who walks by it stops and makes a design. It was packed securely and was in perfect condition. Enjoy the moment!

This product is top quality and well worth the money. The company who supplied it was very quick with shipment and even replaced my first order, which came with a slight defect. They shipped out another one right away and did not want the other one returned. Very pleased.

This is such a great item. I would not call it a toy, because it is way more than that. Adults as well as kids have loved using it at our home. It's relaxing and great to develop fine motor skills. Just keep it dry on the bottom like the directions advise. Our brush was a bit less than okay when we got it, but I have other brushes. Also, I only put it an tablespoon of water in the holder to keep young kids from spilling or using too much water as they paint. LOVE IT!!!

I use the board to practice my Chinese Brush strokes before placing on my expensive rice-paper. I also take digital photos as it dries which make wonderful Chinese Brush design cards and reference ideas for paintings.
