How to use

Squeeze or twist the reservoir (if applicable) to control the flow of water or diluted pigment to the round tip and test strokes on scrap paper before working on the final surface. Use gentle pressure for thin lines and increase pressure or change the angle for broader washes and coverage. Clean the tip between colour changes by rinsing with water and blotting on paper to avoid colour contamination. Store the brush with the cap on or tip up to preserve the shape of the fibres and prevent leakage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use with high-quality watercolour papers or mixed-media surfaces that tolerate wet media. Rinse the tip thoroughly after use and avoid prolonged soaking of the handle or ferrule area. When switching between ink and watercolour, perform a brief rinse and blotting to maintain colour purity.
