3 REASONS WHY WATERCOLOR BRUSH PENS ARE A MUST HAVE
Being an artist is all about experimenting with different styles and ideas. You spend a long time playing around with different types of paper, canvases, brushes and stationery. Everyone has their own unique style and that is what makes art the most beautiful thing in the world. You can create a lot of amazing masterpieces by using just paper and a few bits of stationery. However, having spent years cleaning up paintbrushes and emptying paint filled cups I have come to the conclusion that Watercolor Brush pens might be the best watercolor stationery in the world. I have listed below 3 reasons why they are a must have.
MESS-FREE PAINTING
One of the most important but at the same tedious tasks to do is cleaning your brushes after a long painting session. A sink full of paint filled cups, dirty pallets and paintbrushes is the last thing you want to worry about after having spent hours creating your beautiful art masterpiece.
With Watercolor Brush Pens, all you do is pick what color you want and paint. Its easy to blend pens together and use the Aqua/Water Brush pens that comes with most Real Brush Pen sets to create different shades. After you are done you might sometimes need to dip the pens in water to clean them and lay them on a piece of paper but that's it. After that you close the lid and put them back into their portable case and you are done. It's that simple. No mess - just easy paint free fun.
VERSATILE PAINTING
Watercolor brush pens are essentially the best of both worlds. They take the best qualities of traditional watercolors and combine it with a flexibility of a traditional neat marker pen.
- They are made from water-soluble dye-based ink which makes it easy to create a lot of interesting effects by using just a few drops of water.
- You can rub two marker tips together to create gradient or ombre effects.
- Soft brush tips allow you to play around with different strokes and styles
- Depending on the amount of pressure you apply, you can create a range of thin and wide strokes
The best part is that you can do all this without having to clean up such a huge mess afterward! Since they’re water-based, these pens don’t leave stains and are usually odor-free. All you have to do is put their caps back on, and you’re done.
AFFORDABLE
If you are like me and love buying a lot of different pens and Watercolor art supplies you know it can get expensive having to restock your supplies. This is where brush pens become so much more valuable. They are much cheaper, and more portable than specialty brushes and usually come with a range of colors to pick from. They also spare you the trouble and mess of handling your own pigment and having to mix match palletes until you get just the right color you need.
On average you can get a set of 20 Watercolor Brush Pens for as low as $20 and they can last for a very long time.
