Derwent - Waterbrushes

Waterbrushes

Control water flow precisely while painting with watersoluble media anywhere

Water control separates competent watercolor sketching from frustrating puddles and streaks. Derwent Waterbrushes solve this with squeeze-button barrels that release precise amounts of water exactly when you need it, no more overworking passages or waiting for pools to dry. Large internal reservoirs hold enough water for extended sessions without constant refilling, whether you're activating watercolor pencils in your studio or sketching with portable pan sets outdoors.

The set includes both pointed and chisel tips, giving you options for different mark-making. Fine points handle detail work and controlled washes in small areas; chisel tips cover broader passages and create varied strokes depending on edge orientation. Durable nylon fibers maintain their shape through repeated use, returning to form after each stroke rather than splaying or losing definition. Each brush includes a protective cap to prevent damage during transport.

These brushes eliminate the need to carry separate water containers when working on location. Fill the barrel, cap it securely (the leak-proof seal actually works), and you have hours of painting capability in a pocket-sized tool. The ergonomic barrel design provides comfortable grip during extended sessions, while the controlled release system lets you build washes gradually rather than flooding your work with a single squeeze.
