Waterbrushes - how do they work and which is best?

This week I'm taking a look at the versatile water-brush - one of the most often used tools in my sketching kit. There are various brands to choose from. How do they work and which is best?

If you really, really enjoyed this and would like to perhaps have an original sketch, I've just set up a Patreon account where I regularly post drawings to the patrons. It's thanks to these fine folk that I make these regular films and keep them ad free...

Holbein Water Brushes are good, they have a breather hole so the air does not contaminate when it suck air in when you use it. But they are hard to get hold of. They hold a lot of water and have a good point.

Really good review, great idea about putting ink/paint in the reservoir.

Thank you for this video! I think im going to get a set of three Derwent ones, theyre the most affordable ones i could find

Thanks for this. I can’t believe they’ve been around for 15 years!
But in a pinch, a small spray bottle filled with water may do. Or large—you can have access to a lot of water without having to worry about spilling.

I have only one water brush pen, do i need to buy variety of water brush pen set? What's your experience of using them? Is one enough?
