Derwent Art Supplies

Derwent has top notch quality art products. These water pens seem to have good suction when filled up and durability, and easy to get water to the brushes with out having to do a whole lot of priming. Other water pens that I have purchased in the past that were cheaper and in time they had a leakage problem when filled up while in use. So far there has been no leaks and they appear to be able to stand up through heavy use. I think that the extra money is well worth it for a better product, and ease.

a while back i had purchased a single derwent water brush from my local art supply store and loved the portability and performance of the brush. so when i saw the price for a set of three here on amazon i had to buy them. These go for 17-19 dollars elsewhere.. so for around 9 dollars, this seemed like a great price. This set includes three different sizes; a small round brush (#1), a medium round (#2, this is my favorite and most used), and a small flat brush(#3). They do not leak water if you transport them when full (i keep them loaded up with water in a pencil case with other supplies) and the caps have 4 notches on them which keep them from rolling on a work surface.These are mainly filled with water but they can also be filled with some inks or ink washes (small amount of ink with water) if you would like to use them to add color that way. If you are looking to take watercolors, ink washes, or other water based art media on the go (like gouache), then i would definitely recommend this water brush set.

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.

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!

Why, oh why did I not know these existed before? Why? I draw with Prismacolor soft watercolor pencils all the time and have just been using my paint brushes, dip in water, use, normal whatever, but often I am working on a project on a lapboard in bed, so you've got this cup of water balancing precariously, and reaching back and forth, these completely solve that problem. They are also brilliant for when I am out and about or traveling, no mess. The set of three, fine, medium and chisel tips are all you need. They are easy to use, sturdy, a gentle squeeze gives enough water flow without having puddles of water. I am incredibly impressed. I told a friend about them, she ordered as well and loves them just as much as me.

LOVE these. I've been freed to paint wherever I am. No need to carry around a cup of water. It is very hard, sometimes, to fill the wells though. It's like a vacuum is created with the rush of water. Seems to work best to fill with very low stream of water and as far from faucet as possible. Once you hit the "sweet spot" it fills in an instant. I've used these daily since I got them. Best art supply investment I've made so far.

Love these. Dont get cheaper versions. These control the water flow exactly how you want it to. I tried a cheaper version and water just flowed out. I threw them away. Ive bought three sets now as gifts.

I bought these for my Inktense Pencils but have had a terrible time controlling the water flow. Can't seem to get it to put out just the right amount, either too dry or too wet. Plus on some of my books it makes the paper shred, could be the paper but my Inktense work on the same pages using other blender pens soo... who knows. Anyway, could have lived without them. Just another item to add to my art supplies that will likely get used very little. I gave 3 stars because they are very well made and I like the bristle tips... just wish I could get the water flow to work for me.

I have been looking at these for a while but always thought that I can use a brush instead. I am so glad I bought these as they are far superior and not as messy as brushes. Working with inktense and outher water soluble mediums they are worth their weight in gold. There are 3 different brush types; a flat chisel one and both a fine and medium normal brush. They have the brush pen number on the barrel of the pen so that you can see at a glance which one you are picking up. They also have a pen lid with square sides so that the water brush pen stays where put and doesn't roll away if knocked. I don't know if it's just the ones I received but I have found them difficult to fill. The narrow opening becomes blocked on filling with a water bubble. To combat this I have used a drinking straw of which I cut a slit of about an inch up the side of the bottom of the straw, this enables the straw to become a little narrower to fit into the pen barrel to fill it with water. To fill it I got a glass of water, sucked some of this into the straw and using my finger on the top of the straw I could then transfer the straw full of water to the barrel of the pen and on letting go of the suction it filled the barrel with water. I had to repeat this a few times until it was full. On using the water brush however it takes a long time to use that amount of water. Despite the filling problem, which I solved, I love these water brushes.

La razón por la que le di 5 estrellas Es por su gran calidad, que vi al probarlos, el agua es bastante fluida, a diferencia de otras marcar que hay que estar presionando constante mente para que no se quede sin agua. La absorción de los pigmentos por parte del pincel es muy buena, hace que los pigmentos rindan mas al momento de pintar. Por su puesto, la forma ovalada del deposito de agua hace que le rinda mas el agua y no estar rellenando constantemente. Lo malo, es que demasiada fluidez del agua hace que los pigmentos sean muy claro cuando en ovaciones se busca algo fuerte, o viceversa, buscar algo leve y absorbe tanto el pigmento que lo hace muy fuerte. En conclusión, su calidad para mi es muy buena, puedo decir que es algo premium, y sobre todo, son perfectos para salir a campo abierto con acuarelas portátiles, y un libro de bocetos lo suficientemente resistente al agua. Son la compañía ideal de una dibujante, al menos para mi

Decent water flow, wish they implemented some device that let's you controll the water flow without relying on how hard you push. If you are new to watercolors you'll want a set of these, if you are experienced step up a few steps in quality.

Il pacchetto è arrivato integro e nei tempi stabiliti (Amazon Prime). Il prodotto è di buona qualità, non avevo mai utilizzato pennelli dotati di serbatoio e quindi bisogna farci un po' la mano. Io nello specifico li ho acquistati per utilizzarli insieme alle matite acquerellabili e devo dire che il risultato è buono. Nella confezione si trovano tre tipi di punta: larga piatta (n.3) a punta media (n.2) e punta sottile (n.1). A me sono arrivati in perfette condizioni e non ho riscontrato alcun problema. Sicuramente dato il costo non particolarmente elevato consiglio di provarli per chi si diletta a livello amatoriale di disegno e pittura.

有名メーカーで水彩画に必要です。 コツとバランスが必要なのか初心者にしてはかなり難しいと思いますが購入して後悔したことは1度も思ったことはありません！ 海外メーカーのですから、信用度が高いと言えますが、水彩画なのである程度水付けすぎると用紙がペラペラと言うかぐにゃぐにゃとなります→乾燥後です。 それは水彩画だから問題無いのですが、用紙にもいろんな種類がありますから。
