There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I can't wait to try it for field paintings. I think it would be great for everyone to have one of these and a basic set of watercolor pencils. If you ever travel or just want color sketches, this is for you. I also love the idea that I don't have to pull out all my supplies now to do a little quick watercolor.
Even though I bought the large size, the synthetic white brush comes to a fine point and lets you do little details.
The size of it is pretty convenient to carry around and its easy to clean. I mainly use this for small little illustrations in my sketchbook and its done its job pretty well (If I wanted to do more serious watercolor paintings, I'm not sure I would use this brush.. but it still does a great job for my small doodles). It carries a pretty decent amount of water and I'm able to do quite a bit of painting before I need to refill it (if you want an even smaller water brush to carry, there is also a 4-ml water tank). I'm also able to get pretty decent line quality with it. Although my only gripe with this water brush is that it leaks more water than I'd like.. but a simple dab on a paper towel will fix it.
If you're looking for a decent water brush that can be carried on the go, I think this one is a good place to start.
Two caveats: First, this is the smaller size, so pay attention to the "4 ml" vs "9 ml" in the product description. I didn't, but I like it so much that I just bought a few more of the larger size so I can go longer between refills. Second, the cap isn't righty-tighty, lefty-loosey. You actually tighten it with a counter-clockwise twist and loosen it with a clockwise twist. It takes a bit to get used to, but not a big deal.
I did have one small issue about the waterbrush, however. The water holder has a plug that you have to remove in order to use it. Since I easily misplace even large items, I just didn't know what to do with this 1/4 inch (about) sized plug. It was fortinuate for me to have ordered a watercolor box in the same order and my solution was an easy one. I placed the plug in the far left well next to the lid and taped over the well with clear tape. Now, when I'm not planning to water color with it for awhile, I can easily remove the clear tape and pop it into the holder. Easy peezy.
I have tried the small and large Koi waterbrush sizes- the small brush squirts out too much water too quickly and is hard to handle. The larger brush seems to have trouble getting the water to flow at all, and when I squeeze too hard it sometimes squirts out and drowns out the painting that I am working on. If you want a water brush that is durable and easy to use with consistent water flow, I recommend the Koi brush in the #6 medium size. I tried another brand's waterbrush once and it was just not the same... go with Koi if you want to try waterbrush and painting watercolor & gouache on the go.
Pros: I suppose it's as advertised. I haven't tried it out yet and am not currently able to.
Cons: Top is reverse threaded. States "do not lose black cap", which is small and (in my opinion) unnecessary anyway, but there's really no place to keep it. The cap is supposedly for separating the two halves for travel, so that the tank doesn't leak. It just feels poorly made and the cap that's supposed to go on the back of the brush for added length (I guess? Still shorter than my Niji by a lot) doesn't seem to attach all that firmly.
I probably wouldn't purchase this again but I will keep it and try it out. I suspect I'll be more happy with the Niji I own and have used for watercolor for a few years now. I'll also probably buy another Niji next time.
