With this type of brush you press the button on the side of the barrel to begin the flow of water from the reservoir tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other option is the barrel press design (found in all others we mentioned) where you firmly squeeze the barrel of the brush to begin the flow of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter the type of brush you go with, the painting process remains the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will simply bring the water to the bristles and then load up your brush as you normally would when using a watercolor brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For attaining lighter hues, simply expel additional water from the barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are done with a color, instead of dipping the bristles into a jar of water, with a water brush pen you can simply \u2018paint out\u2019 the colors onto a paper towel or sponge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paper_To_Use_With_Your_Water_Brush\"><\/span>Paper To Use With Your Water Brush<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/createlet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/watercolor-paper.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/createlet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/watercolor-paper.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/createlet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/watercolor-paper-301x201.jpg 301w, https:\/\/createlet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/watercolor-paper-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/createlet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/watercolor-paper-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to using your water brush, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Arches-Cold-Press-Watercolor-Pad\/dp\/B008N0BC2Y?tag=createlet-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">you will always want to use a quality watercolor paper<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watercolor paper, unlike standard paper, is <a href=\"https:\/\/createlet.com\/hot-press-vs-cold-press-vs-rough-watercolor-paper\/\">designed completely differently<\/a> and will have much better absorbency properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This not only ensures that your artwork doesn\u2019t warp or wrinkle, but also give you greater control and texture for the water brush to latch onto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for recommendations on a particular watercolor paper, you can check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/createlet.com\/best-watercolor-paper\/\">recent article where we compared the best watercolor papers<\/a> around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, given that water brushes are more portable in nature, a watercolor sketchbook may be of greater interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for a recommendation there, you can check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/createlet.com\/best-watercolor-sketchbook\/\">full reviews of watercolor sketchbooks<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you check out the creative streams on Twitch, follow the immensely popular #watercolorsketch hash tag on Instagram, or watched any YouTube tutorials on watercoloring, chances are that you may &#8230;
