- Have you ever wondered about water-brushes? Maybe you have some but are confused about how to get the most out of them. How do you know the best ones to buy and how do you keep them clean?
We will go over all of this in today's tutorial!

Featured Water-brushes (affiliate links used)
All Water brushes on Blick: shrsl.com/4hifp
I recommend the Derwent and Pentel as the easiest to squeeze and the Niji for the most compact and if you like a more water flow.
I do not recommend the Royal & Langnickle brushes because they flood out too much water (they are nice for making glitter or mica watercolor pens tho)
Amazon has lots of cheap generic watercolor brush sets and some name brand ones. amzn.to/3UcY7T5
There is nothing wrong with most of the generic ones, they can be a bit hard to squeeze tho.
Be sure to price compare on the brand names because they are often the same price or less on Blick.

I love your tutorials! Never too long. I learn so much from them!
I like the Pentel water brushes, the blue bulb ones, and the Kuretake/Sakura koi ones the best, they feed the water pretty consistently for me without me needing to squeeze them often.
I love your channel and your videos the longer the better i learn so much from you and appreciate your time that you do these free tutorials especially those of us that can't afford to buy online lessons people like you are amazing thank you so much and know for every negative comment you get there is probably 100 people who because of your channel are living a richer life because they can access these lessons 😊 ❤ so don't give the negative any space in your mind think of the people who you are making a difference for 😊❤ thx you 😊
I love how much useful information you pack into your tutorials. Thank you! Haha, I also adore how honest you are, water brushes are nice, but I too prefer a good synthetic sable or mimic squirrel brush and a water bucket.
Great tutorial! Thanks for all the information about how to use the different products and for explaining how the light and transparency is produced.
Thank you, Lindsay. I love graphitint pencils. I have a small set of watercolor pencils and water brushes I take with me to my clinic. It's easy and neat to carry and use between clients, etc . I used my sketchbook floosy stencils and did a whole little book. Doing small paintings has really helped me to something every day.
Thanks for the recommendation of the Mr. Pen white Acrylic pens. I love my Uni-Ball Signo but would like something for larger lines and certain papers! Beautiful sketch/painting. The luminosity is amazing
Hi Lindsay. California fig syrup Co. Was a real co. Fig syrup was sold as laxative. Laxatives were widely used because food dold was adulterated. Especially bread, with non food fillers like plaster and saw dust. It could be real not le target .It is a common old bottle. Company started 1878 . The water brushes I have are all or nothing and leak terribly. I don't use them much as fine motor function is dwindling.really ticks me off too. 😖
Lindsay - than you for mentioning items that may be helpful to those with arthritis. I have arthritis in my hands and learning about tools that don't make it worse is so helpful!
Love the finished artwork, and watching the process from the initial sketch through to the end -- so interesting! One thing I'll add about cheap, no-name water brushes - make sure that the cap actually snaps on, and is not just kept on by friction. In a bag, those caps can easily come off, and then there's water you don't want and the bristles can get jammed.
Omg!!! All the ones I have open the regular way, except for one! And I almost broke it trying to get it open. Even got my husband to try. I had already given up thinking it was due to it being cheap. I saw your video and voila! Opens so easy the wrong way. Who knew!?Thanks Lindsay!!!
I liked that you shortened one bottle to fit it onto the page - had I not seen the reference picture I'd never guessed that you did that.
You paint glass like nobody!!!!! So beautiful❤❤
I just got a new set of water brushes! I feel like you're videos are perfectly timed to me not knowing what to do with my new supplies. The same thing happened with your elegant writer videos!
I'm waiting for my Derwent water brushes to be delivered today. Your video came up on my feed just in time!
Your glass projects are always so beautiful. You're brilliant with a water brush too--no fear!
You are my favorite glass painter. It is amazing how you capture all the reflections and make the glass so luminous. Thank you for this demonstration.
Hullo Lindsay, I do enjoy watching your videos and seeing how you use you art supplies often gives me a re-fresher on many techniques that I have not used in years! You are truly inspirational and so talented, yes I am a believer in talents not that people must have talent to accomplish a “thing” or do an activity. I believe that it can be easier for those who are talented and I think that you do work hard at creating art and videos and seeing your videos just confirms this for me. Well I hope you have a lovely day.
I love my water brushes, I take a little paint kit everywhere I go and I use them frequently. My problem is knowing when to let them go as the tips get worn. Will you add this to your watercolor glass class on Teachable? I would love to follow along and paint this.
I love the graphic quality of this painting.
