i heart my waterbrush


today's journal page is brought to you by one of my all-time favorite tools......the niji waterbrush!  i love this thing!   i use it when i'm working with watercolor, watercolor pencils, sketch & wash pencils, and any other time i need a little spritz of H2O.  i've had mine for several years, and the brush tip is still holding its shape beautifully.  it's great for travel,  or if you just want to set up creative camp in front of a movie some time!  

you can read more about the niji waterbrush here.
this journal page was created while experimenting with different tools and shading techniques as part of a lesson in alisa burke's sketchbook delight class.  supplies used:  micron pen, pencil, pilot G-tec pen, sketch & wash pencil, niji waterbrush

  5. Ahh...I too have this waterbrush, however it does nothing like the magic you do with your waterbrush. I have a blue one and a pink one...two sizes of brushes. Why would I own only one to sit on the worktable when another keeps the two from being lonely. :o) Happy waterbrushing...
