I received my first Kuretake water brush in a Kuretake travel palette set and loved it. I started using it almost exclusively for my watercolor work, preferring it to my regular brushes. But I needed a fine tip one for all the small detail work that I do. Unfortunately, I bought into all the Youtube videos that rave about Pentel's water brush and bought one of those instead. I was very disappointed, returned it immediately and ordered this like I should have done to begin with!Now, this is all a matter of preference. The very thing people love about Pentel is what I disliked and the same goes for this brush, you might not like the things I like about it. But hopefully it will help you one way or another! I am attaching pics of it compared to the fine tip Pentel so you can compare. You can see how much longer it is. In the other photo of the tips, the Kuretake is actually on the left, with the white nib. The Pentel has the black nib.The first thing I like about this brush is the longer, pen-like shape. I just prefer how it feels in the hand. You can see it's significantly longer than the Pentel. I didn't like the fat part of the Pentel and much prefer the slimmer feel of this one. The longer length of this brush might be too long for some very small travel palettes, so that's something to consider.This Kuretake has a thicker, firmer barrel. This means it's harder to squeeze. A lot of people like the Pentel because it's so easy to squeeze but that's actually what I disliked about it, it was too squishy for my taste. This one feels sturdy and more substantial. I do a lot of dry brush techniques and I don't want the water to flow too easily, so I like that it takes a more deliberate squeeze.This one is less wet than the Pentel. Again, this is something a lot of Youtubers rave about, but I didn't like that about it. This one lets me wipe it off and use it damp instead of wet. The Pentel stayed wet constantly, whether I liked it or not. If you're a wet painter, you might like that better, but I like less wet.Fine tip: The tip is fine, great for detailing. The Pentel tip might be slightly finer, but it's also slightly longer, which means it's more flexible. I prefer this tip because the slightly shorter, wider base of the bristles gives me more control while still being able to get into tiny areas. But overall, the tips are very similar.There's nothing I dislike about this brush, and this will be the only brand I use going forward, I love them.

Ce pinceau est de bonne qualité. Le remplissage du réservoir est différent de tous ceux que j’utilisais jusqu’à maintenant. Il faut immerger le réservoir dans un récipient d’eau et appuyer pour le remplir. La taille small est parfaite pour les petites surfaces à aquareller. Toutefois la quantité d’eau qui coule à la pression du réservoir n’est pas évidente à gérer au début. La quantité d’eau qui sort est assez importante. Je dois encore le tester et apprendre à gérer l’écoulement d’eau pour obtenir un beau resultat. Le prix est assez élevé mais la qualité de la brush mérite ce prix.

Muy cómodos de usar… Los pinceles y las acuarelas de esta marca Kuretake para mi son los mejores

This waterbrush is the smallest I've ever come across (for a waterbrush, and in regards to the brush head size). I bought a second one to keep as a spare when my first one wears out.The only warning I would give is that, because of its size, when painting small details, a little bit of water runs down the bristles. This is just something you need to get used to when using this brush. There is no leaking, this just happens when painting, and will be mostly noticeable if painting, for example a very small square.I recommend this anyways! Its very easy to clean and mine has lasted already 6 months of constant use.

Kuretake maken goede waterpenselen. Deze fijne punt is ideaal om kleine deeltjes in te kleuren.

The order was delayed due to a typhoon hitting Osaka airport. I received a full refund with apologies, even if it was not the seller's fault at all. After sometime, the delayed package arrived anyway. I contacted the seller saying the refund was no longer necessary and he said it was ok. Great, great, customer support! Strongly recommended.By the way, the water brush per is great quality too!

Es un producto que cumple al 100% todo lo que promete, las especificaciones que vienen concuerdan con el producto ya físico; es altamente recomendable para aquellos que amen la técnica de acuarela.
