Mr. PenWatercolor Brush Pens, 6 pcs, Pointed & Flat Tips, Nylon Bristles, White, Refillable, Portable Ink/Water Brush

EVERY time I place an order with Mr.Pen I’m wowed by the product’s upgrade from a basic product to a well thought out design that beats competitors by a mile. Most important is the product’s upgrade is made better than the competition by design , function, and money saving features.My watercolor brushes cost less than any regular watercolor brushes set BUT mine are built to hold any watercolor you choose in their hollow bodies making them forever brushes that you use like a pen and refill over and over!They are great for children , not to tiny to hold easily . I’m imagining how much money I’ll save using these with my 2 yr granddaughter. Wonderful tools for creative people who appreciate clever builds. So affordable.Makes me smile.

I'm adding to my previous review to praise the business owner. I wrote to customer service about the problem with opening the pens. They responded same day and resolved the problem. Thank you so much! Can't wait to try them out outside!Just received these today. I cannot disconnect the water reservoir from the tip. They feel completely glued shut! I'm afraid to twist them too hard, because they're squeezable and kind of flimsy. If I twist too hard, they feel like they will crack like a straw that gets bent.Someone wrote that they twist the opposite direction that most people are used to, so I tried this, too, but still no luck!

Just know that these unscrew backwards from righty tighty, lefty loosey. We accidentally tore the first one up because the water bladder plastic is pretty flimsy and they were all stuck closed solid...until someone tried to unscrew it the reverse way.

Easy to use

I use them often and they hold up well over time. Just be sure to clean them like any other paint brush.

I would not recommend nor buy again based on my review. I took a shot and for $5 I have re-learned a lesson.You get what you pay forI have several water filled brushes from different manufacturers. (I have paid more for 2 brushes.) I have got to say Mr. Pen quality is mediocre at best.I agree that the water barrel is thin and flimsy, however not terrible.I agree that it is difficult to get the water flowing to the brush. When you squeeze hard enough the water comes but it flows out from the where the barrel screws on and not through the brush. My solution is to squeeze onto a cloth and then the brush will be wet enough to dip in the color cake.UPDATE: I read this on another review. Open the barrel and on the part where the brush is the black base. It has a white “button” in the middle. If you push this button down into the black base (I used an embroidery needle) the button will go into the base and stay there. This button is stopping the water flowing freely. Once I did this to all the pens the water flowed properly onto the brush. Still only 3 stars since this should be in the instruction somewhere.All these water barrel brushes screw off/on backwards so that is not an issue to me.The brush material is good, basically the same as all other brushes of this type.As an aside: The Mr. Pen logo stamped on the plastic barrel rubs off in about 30 seconds of use. This is not really important for use but it does tell you that the manufacture is not of quality. I mean if you are gonna stamp your logo on the product you might want to ensure its permanence. Just saying.

These come in a nice reusable holder. There is a nice variety of tip sizes. I just received them yesterday and haven’t had a chance to use them but they look great and the tips will work perfectly.

The media could not be loaded. I really was looking forward to this item but the quality of this brush was just not great.Usually, after you fill the brush with water, you press into the barrel to control the water getting in and out. I literally have to SQUEEZE the brush in order for the water to come out. This happens literally ALL THE TIME and it’s frustrating.I am a traveling artist so having this kind of brush is handy. But having to squeeze really hard for the water to come out of the brush just doesn’t do it.Also one of the brushes that I got didn’t have the cap to minimize the length of the bristles. So it’s just an extra long brush.I tried the other small brushes and they were the same when it comes to getting the water out. It was not easy to use and just frustrating through and through.I mainly use these brushes as standard brushes which defeats the purpose of filling the brush with water.Also please take my review with a grain of salt. Maybe I just happened to be one of the unfortunate people with a defective set or brushes. Who knows.
