I had to keep pressure on the brush to keep the water flowing, but I think that would be the way with any waterbrush. <br /><br />I didn't have any problem with dryness that I remember, nor did I have any problem doing washes. Of course I was just working in a 6" x 6" square so I didn't have far to go.<br /><br />By the time I finished painting all three of these my thumb had a cramp from the constant squeezing. I painted the egg first, then the flower one, and I had to refill the brush before starting on the Pepsi can. That may not be normal usage for a WB but I cleaned the bristles out *completely* between colors and that used up a lot of water.<br /><br />Specifically these were Elmer's Paintastics Brush Pens. A set of five on a card at Dick Blick is $5.39. I think I paid about $3.95 for them at Wal-Mart a year ago.<br /><br />Cheap is my middle name.Speckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374976843193713274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336323728577552774.post-31413528742875036362010-01-10T12:03:36.636-06:002010-01-10T12:03:36.636-06:00Great job on these!

I'm just wondering, because I bought some cheapo waterbrushes (I think about five bucks for three) and it seems they run on the dry side. I have a difficult time getting washes. I tend to not even use them!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231453420718519162noreply@blogger.com
