5.0 out of 5 starsgood purchase.
ByJ. Brookson July 16, 2014
Package Quantity: 1Size: Tip AssortmentVerified Purchase
These are great. The nylon is stiff and pretty good for inktense and watercolor pencils. I haven't used them with watercolor pans, but I suspect they would work fine - if not a little clumsily. Mine have not leaked yet and once you get the brush tip wet, the water keeps the brush wet, but not saturated, which is good for my needs. They also clean up pretty well - even with inktense. The ink will stain the white nylon, but the color doesn't transfer off.

4.0 out of 5 starsgood but not great
ByChel MichelineTOP 500 REVIEWERon July 15, 2014
Package Quantity: 1Size: Tip AssortmentVerified Purchase
These are good waterbrushes, but they aren't my favorite for a few reasons:

- the valve that feeds the water into the brush seems to be very "open", meaning the brush gets flooded with water as you use the brushes. I tried using them with my Peerless watercolors (the ones that are on paper substrate) and the brush literally filled the paper with a huge blob of water. I know with some mediums (especially very dry watercolors) this is a benefit, but I'd rather have too little water than too much.

- the brushes themselves are not well shaped. They aren't shaped to a point and therefore they don't really hold a fine tip.

On the flipside, there is a big benefit to these pens, and that's the sizes of the brushes.

Brush number three (the broad brush) is a PERFECT size (I guess the equivalent would be a size 6 flat brush). There isn't another waterbush like it on the market and for that reason alone, the set is worth it.

These brushes will definitely get a lot of use, but I know when push comes to shove I'll continue to reach for my Pentels- much more control over water flow and the finely "sharp" tips seal the deal for me.

5.0 out of 5 starsSuperior Waterbrushes (for a steal!)
ByRussellon June 10, 2014
Package Quantity: 1Size: Tip AssortmentVerified Purchase
These brushes are fantastic! The water flow is smooth and does not have an excessive response when squeezed, which has not been the case with other water brushes I used (either saturating my paints or my paper). You can do fine detail with brush #1 and calligraphy with brush #3. Unfortunately brush two arrived a little defective and I have written Amazon for a replacement. Even if this brush could not be replaced, the other two brushes alone are worth the price I paid! I would highly recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 starsWaterbrush - A must have for watercolor artists....
ByHarleymaon June 9, 2014
Package Quantity: 1Size: Tip AssortmentVerified Purchase
Came across this waterbush product from a YouTube video instruction by one of Derwent's product managers, Sarah Taylor. They are fantastic! The set is perfect with the 3 tip selections as well. It does exactly what was represented in the video and I have already created several watercolor pencil art projects. I find they also work well in addition to watercolor paint projects. You can touch the tip of your pencil to the waterbrush and add very fine details to you paint projects. What I find convenient is that you can pack them in a case with paper, bring along a chair and some snacks, sit under a tree or at the beach and sketch out a project, waterbrush it and you hav a one step process project... thanks Derwent team for your design efforts in this product. Will recommend to my art friends next class so I hope you have more in stock soon!

great for watercolour pencils and inks. Also great for graphite work as it keeps it clean and in the place you want it. I will buy more so to mix tips with colors. Just make sure to wash before it dries when done.

ByLinda Hardestyon July 23, 2014

I really like these watercolor brushes. My previous ones puddled too much water whereas the water flow can easily be controlled on these. I like the 3 different tips also. I would recommend these

I use these Derwent Waterbrushes with my Inktense pencils instead of regular brushes. They are easy to use and perfect for fine delicate work.

5.0 out of 5 starsA must if you own the Inktense Pencils
ByLeighon May 2, 2015

These are just wonderful. I was concerned about how to keep the tips clean; however, so far, no problem. I keep a paper next to me to run the waterbrush over after I am finished with each color. These are a little more expensive than others but definitely worth it!

Holds shape well. Nice flow of water. Overall I like these brushes a lot. I wish they came in other sets with different brushes- fan brush, flat brush, etc.

5.0 out of 5 starsEvery brush you need for your watercolor journal kit
Bydwon October 5, 2014
Package Quantity: 1Size: Tip AssortmentVerified Purchase
Very nice water brushes. I use these with my Koi 24 kit and Moleskine journal. Dry and new it appears the round brushes don't have a sharp point, but when you wet them they get very sharp. They clean up very well with a few squeezes on a napkin or sponge. Haven't had any problems with them leaking in my kit. A little tricky to fill, but not too bad. A full tank goes a long way too, especially if you us a limited pallette.
