FAQs About Water Brushes

A water brush is an applicator that stores water in its barrel and releases it to blend watercolour, ink or dye media.

Fine, medium and wide or chisel tips are common, allowing for detail, washes and broad strokes.

Unscrew the barrel, fill with clean water or diluted ink, then reattach securely to avoid leaks.

Many artists use diluted inks, dyes or light washes, but flush with water after use to avoid clogging.

Rinse under running water, squeeze gently to flush, use a soft brush to clear the tip.

With proper care and cleaning, quality water brushes can last months to years. Tip wear or leak damage may shorten lifespan.
