The STAEDTLER 949 water brush carries its own water in the barrel, so you can paint, blend and lift colour without a water jar, a rinse pot or a spare hand. Give the barrel a gentle squeeze and water flows into the nylon tip in a steady, controlled stream. Ease off the pressure and the flow stops, which keeps washes under control and stops the paper from buckling.
The tip is a robust, shape-retaining nylon. It holds a clean point through a long session and springs back into shape after use, which matters more than most people expect when a brush is used for fine detail. The soft barrel and valve system keep the flow even from the first stroke to the last, so a wash starts smoothly and stays consistent across the page.
Good for
- Watercolour painting and layered washes
- Sketching on location, where carrying a water pot is inconvenient
- Softening pencil or ink lines with water
- Blending and lifting colour directly on the paper
