Product Description
1. The Large One: Nylon Fiber and Rabbit Hair Blend
This synthetic brush head is a combination of long nylon bristles, which with great flexibility and resiliency, spring back to a sharp point, and short rabbit hair to hold the moisture at the bottom. A versatile brush that offers incomparable delivery of both sharp strokes and soft washes. It is different from any pure synthetic brushes in the market. 85% synthetic fiber, 15% natural animal hair.
Brush Length: 5 3/4"(capped) Head size: 3/4" x 1/3"
2. The Small One: Synthetic Fiber
100% fine synthetic bristles that gives the brush a pointed tip(so it can fit back into the cap easily). It's good for details and outlines. Fill it with water, or color ink if you prefer.
Brush Length: 5 1/2"(capped) Head size: 1/2" x 1/4"

 Great for drawing and washes. March 2, 2010

First i'd probably point out that these are not traditional Chinese brushes, though they look like they are. These are much more resilient than a traditional Chinese natural hair brush. They snap back to their original shape, more like an American round watercolor brush, only even more resilient, but still very soft. The point is excellent for drawing a lively line. You get very nice thin and thick according to pressure. Perfect for a sketch book with light washes, and great for travel. I have clear water in one and ink or watercolor in the other so that i can draw and wash.
Another important thing that might be obvious: To load the brush, screw the plunger all the way down toward the brush. immerse in ink or water color deep enough to cover the the brush, and retract screw plunger. it will vacuum your medium into the container, much like a classic ink pen with a plunger well.
The only thing i don't know is how long one could go without use. Drying with ink would, obviously, be detrimental to the brush. The cap seems to fit tightly, but it is not a watertight seal, so i can't comment on that, but i'm wondering about it. i've only been using them a short time.
Awesome brush pens! June 24, 2010

These brush pens are great, I love having a real brush & ink in my pocket at all times. The caps to these pens dont seal quite the way I'd like (theres no stopping point, you can push the cap down until the brush hits the top of the cap), but I have yet to have a problem with it.
Super fast shipping, I love these & am going to order some more, as I cant find brush pens like this anywhere else.
Use of the Waterbrush July 2, 2010
Ben
This fountain pen-like product is excellent for traveling with a small sketch book such as the plain page Moleskine. You should know that a lot of DaVinci sketches you see printed were really quite small. You can make a quick sketch lightly outlining with dry Derwent Burnt Sienna, raw Sienna, and Umber pencils from your pocket. Then shade your sketch-- or erase and blot --with the water in the waterbrush to give a DaVinci-like shaded picture, max 3-4 values. The point of the brush is surprisingly fine. If you want to get a little fancier, after the sketch has dried, also carry a white Caran D'Ach crayon to emphasize the high lights--bridge of the nose, cheek bones, edge of the ear, etc. No need to carry a whole art box, and very little time to hold up a partner or tour party. I find my quicker sketches are the best. With the waterbrush I can also pay attention to folds of clothing. If you prefer pure black and white, carry an ordinary fountain pen with black ink, outline, let it dry (depending on the effect you want), then shade with the waterbrush. Like the end result? Photo it, blow it up, mat and frame.
 Nice brush, loose cap June 4, 2010

These brushes are available separately from Blue Heron Arts, and I just bought the smallest one. The brush is nice and comes to a fine point, but the cap's fit is loose and wobbly, and the brush pen itself seems rather fragile.
 Cap Broke Immediately July 4, 2010
Bo Jangles
As soon as I put the cap on the back end it broke so that it no longer stays on - since (for me) the point of the brush pen was portability, this pretty much spoils it.
