For all of you already in the know, this won't be exciting. I, however, have only just recently discovered waterbrushes.

So I took the prismacolors out of the sketchpack and put my watercolor pencils in with my new waterbrush. Here for your amusement is my very first watercolor sketch ever. Took all of 3 minutes

Hi Blade!
This sounds very interesting, I never have heard ybout waterbrushes.
You draw with watersoluble pencils and then you water it with those waterbrushes?

That's what I did. But if you wander over to http://sketching.cc , they actually have little watercolor kits for carrying in their pockets and use the waterbrushes.

Blade, I have heard of them or at least I glanced at them when I was looking through Blicks Art material store online. I have been debating if I wanted to purchase them or not. I love my watercolor pencils and having the little one around and my computer table being my main drawing area fret at the thought of cups of water around. So these are the ones you fill with water? Does the water get used up fast or is it sparingly? Does too much water come out when applying to the water colored pencil work?

Venus,

When you look at my 3 minute tree, on the right side of the trunk you will see where I didn't wait for the green to dry before I decided to edit the trunk, so there's a runny spill. The flow is not very heavy, but it is constant. If you are doing a larger area, you will run out of paint and have that value change. But since I was using pencil and not a pallete, I could put the watercolor where I wanted it and keep a pretty even tone. I especially like how it worked with the texture of the bark. I plan on spending more time with it this afternoon and I promise to report back.

One other thing, a rag or paper towel is necessary to clean the brush, just to wipe the tip off.

O.K. I was only able to spend about 20 minutes playing with it tonight. This is a daffodil from WC, on 140# 8"x5" Cotman Water Color paper. The water color pencils are Kimberly "General".

I actually worked on the sketch for 10 whole minutes. Still trying to get a feel for how to get the flow of the waterbrush. But, I have to tell you, this is way fun! The colors are very light. I'm going to have to work on laying down more paint. As my wife tells me, "Quit starving your paint!"

Venus, I've done two quick sketches now and have only used about a third of the water in the pen. It didn't leak or anything while stored with the cap on over night. I'm going to brave taking it around on a sales call tomorrow. Maybe I'll try a nice landscape.

Nice work blade .. myself I have never tried water colors but they look like they could be fun

O.K. I carried it around with me all day today, and no leaks, no issues whatsoever. Day started off pretty rough too as my beautiful young bride hit a deer on her way to work this morning. No injuries except for the dead deer and we lost the car, but we never liked that car much anyway. When I think of what COULD have happened, I'm very happy with the turnout. Anyway, didn't have time for a landscape. Instead, I give you the elephant off of the side of my McDonald's cup. This has been really fun. Now I want a fountain pen to add to this. I love the wash colors, but I prefer more definition. I also want to post a clearer picture of the daffodil with some of the enhancements suggested by Ernest.
