About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. www.drawell.co....

My 340th 😊 after a 54 km bicicleride in Zeeland (the Netherlands) where we circled the last 20 km in yes... rain. We took a shower drank some very 11,5 procent alcohol bear from the B and B owner who was also a bearbrewer, we were surprised by a sunny evening. So what would be the sherry of the cake, yes a video of my favorite and friend Diane!😊 sorry the alcohol caused a not so careful watching, but your voice was familiar and made my evening very happy. Just in time of the end of this video I saw some nice national Netherlands flowers😂. Thanks for accompanying my holidayevening 😊wim

This is lovely Diane. I love your enthusiasm. I’ve had a set of 3 water brushes for some years now but have rarely used them. They all have different shape brush heads.

So simple yet beautiful! I have a bunch of water brushes all shapes and sizes. They are wonderful to use when sitting around the table with my young grandkids while we are painting together. No more spilled water cups! I also got them tiny spritzer bottles (mistake!)(turned into a free for all spray war - was actually fun - it is only water afterall). And we use drinking straws (skinny ones). They put a good puddle of paint down with the water brush then blow the paint around with the straw. With ink, they create funny birds or trees or burst balloons. It is great fun! Thank you for your inspiration!

Lovely floral. You don't need to take your waterbrush apart. Just put the brush in your clean water, squeezing out the air and release to allow the water to fill. They are wonderful.

What a great idea with the colour cards. I googled it yesterday and read that each colour card has half a colour pot in it. Amazing 🤓 I bought a water brush like that years ago. When I tried to use it, the water ran out uncontrollably. Since then it's been lying in the drawer 🙄I probably acted stupidly. I love your idea, Diane, with the quick greeting card. So simple, so quick and so good looking, I can do THAT too 😁 Maybe i will try it once again with my water brush...

@DianeAntoneStudio 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Sylvia, thanks for your comments, very interesting. I am not sure that there is as much paint on one of the cards as Viviva say - a half pan is a heck of a lot of paint, and some of my cards are already looking a bit depleted. But the colors are really great, pure and bright and they dry the same as they look when they are wet, which is a really good thing! It seems that everyone has a waterbrush somewhere lying neglected in a drawer. Time to drag them out and make them do some work!

@maryannegunter115 3 жыл бұрын

I've had a water brush for over a year but didn't use it until I watched the painting of the colorful birds a few days ago. I really do like it, Thank you for giving me the confidence to try something new! I will try it with these flowers, as well.

Wonderful! That's good to hear. I was amazed at how differently the paint behaves when it is being pushed on to the paper from the water behind it, rather than being carried into the. paper by a wet brush you have to keep dipping. Quite a different (and I think, more controllable) method.

Oh no! Sounds like it's faulty. I didn't want to take the valve out to put water in mine because I felt sure that would make it leak. That's why I filled it by squeezing it under water. Maybe that's the problem? Or maybe it's a faulty one?

Hi, Diane...Water brushes differ from maker to maker I have found. I often carry one in my pocket or purse and a small pad if I need to add color to quick sketches. Your brush, I believe can be filled without submerging in water, remove the little black control ‘thing’ (so technical!) and fill from tap, reinsert black thing and you are good to go. Childrens book author illustrator Shoo Rayner has videos where he uses them...older, but good. Love the flowers going to try them on a card as suggested. Thank you as always.

I've had a set of 3 Kuretake waterbrushes for a number of years, possibly when they first came out (I think about 2006). I agree with another comment, they are excellent! I have tried one Pentel waterbrush and don't care for the bulbous barrel, it felt awkward in my hand. I did try to remove the black stopper to fill the barrel, but ended up discovering that it was easier to hold the barrel (with black stopper intact) under a gently running water spigot, squeezing and filling, repeating until filled. It is a fast, easy method. I have never filled the barrel with water+paint, always have only used clean water. These brushes also work very well with watercolor pencils. Diane, I have so enjoyed your videos. I had a very long (8 years), dry spell when I had no desire to paint. I unpacked my supplies in June of 2020 and find your videos to be exactly what I need!! Thank YOU!!!

Delightful - and that you ended up with a Kuratake waterbrush is perfect. There are a lot of them out there and a lot of them put out way too much water! There are much more expensive types, with push buttons to add more water which sound wonderful, but I've not tried those. I have tried several and this one is my favorite. Mine came in a Koi watercolor set! I think the thing that can be frustrating when using more than one brand is that this one comes apart the opposite of the usual righty-tighty-lefty-loosie and I've seen reviews where people think it is useless because they cannot get it open! I so enjoy your videos!

I think the more complicated something is in general the less useful. I like these Kuretake pens because they are so simple.

I think they are surprisingly versatile, I can hardly believe it!

I think the waterbrush is very liberating and we will all learn a lot about water control and pigment behaviour by using one from time to time. I found I made a big leap forward in my art when I switched my palette to more primary colors. All helps.

Thank you so much for this tutorial - I watched, I tried it and it was so easy. I'm happy with results but still need some practice. I am a card maker and I'm going to try the birdaday!! Sandy Diller.

Certainly would be! And in the car, on a plane, in the waiting room, anywhere! Great for urban sketching too.

When I first started painting with watercolor, I began only using watercolor pencils with a water brush. :)

@DianeAntoneStudio 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing! Yes, I can see how handy that would be. Did you try to pick up the pigment from the actual pencil 'lead' and paint with it? Or did you draw first with the pencil and then wet it on the paper?

Enjoyed your video. I have tried a few different water brushes and found the Kuretake to work the best for me. Looking forward to more of your videos.

Good to know! I'm going to see if I can find out where to buy the Kuretake brushes. Thanks for commenting!

I love my Pentel water brushes. Hmm Diane is really enabling me for those Viviva paint cards 😛. I am excited to use them and see how different these dyes are as opposed to my usual DS or M Graham’s wc. I also have the Boku Undo shadow palette ink set on my wishlist 🤦🏽‍♀️. Bye bye 💰

Hi Tina! So glad you’re enjoying the Colorsheets and water brush. It’s a liberating experience and I think it helps me develop my use of regular paints too. Don’t know what Boku is but will look it up!

@@DianeAntoneStudio You will love them I think. They are moody black (sumi inks) that thin out to underlying colours like moody reds, blues, purple , yellow-green. Delish!
