Lovers of drawing know that inspiration can sometimes come at the most inopportune moment: on the road, while walking in the park, in a cafe, before going to bed … Using paints in such cases is not always convenient. A brush with a reservoir, which can be bought at any art store today, will help out.
Water Brush - what is it?
Watercolor, a jar of water, a brush - this is the set that an artist or a lover of drawing cannot do without. The advantage of the Water Brush is that it replaces it almost completely, at least the last two items for sure. How is this possible?
The main distinguishing feature of the brush is that you can draw with it like a regular pencil. It looks like a plastic pen. But instead of a pen, she has a brush, and in the upper unscrewing part of the body there is a water tank. This just helps the artist to do without additional jars and flasks.
Another advantage of the Water Brush is that it can initially be refilled not with water, but with colored ink. And if there are several of them, it will turn outa true complete painting kit.
How to use the water tank brush?
It's simple here. It is enough to press the water tank with your fingers during the drawing process, and it will seep down, wetting the brush. This way you can apply watercolor paint to paper or shade it, smoothly changing the tone of the base color to pale. A brush is also suitable if a water-soluble pencil is at hand instead of paints.
The intensity of seepage can be adjusted: the stronger the pressure on the water tank, the more the bristles will be wetted. And, on the contrary, a light touch on the body will make it possible to moisten the latter just enough to be able to paint with it, as with ordinary watercolors. At first, a little more water may be poured out than necessary, but over time this problem will resolve itself.
When finished, the Water Brush should be washed. It is also not difficult to do this. First you need to remove the remnants of paint from the bristles with a regular napkin. Then moisten the brush with plenty of water from the tank and wipe it again with a napkin. The procedure must be repeated several times until the Water Brush is clean. It remains to close the brush with the reservoir cap and put it away until the next use.
How to make a Water Brush at home?
The brush with the tank can be made by yourself. Here are its components: a small oiler made of soft plastic - usually the owners of a sewing machine have these; a brush for drawing - it should be made from bundled hairs,fastened with a metal plate and filled with paraffin. The manufacturing order is:
- cut off half of the nose of the oiler;
- remove the brush with a metal tip from the shaft, and pierce the wax that holds the hairs together with a thick needle;
- put a brush on the butter dish.
The principle of operation of a homemade Water Brush will be no different from that bought in a store.
