I read the other reviews and had to add one. These are not intended to be PRO quality. They are cheap but still great if you don't expect too much. What I use them for mainly is kids - especially at the school with a whole class of little ones that spill the cups of water all over themselves and each other. The teachers love when I use these for the art lessons and have even bought their own for the rooms. We use them with the watercolor crayons (another great choice for kids instead of those little trays that get "muddy") and they work great. With the little ones, we refill the brushes for them so we don't loose the round disc in the top. With the older kids, when you explain it to them so they know to be careful, we've never had a problem. So, they are great for fun, easy, portable art projects, especially for kids, but I've used them myself for quick projects that I'm not intending to sell or something. Just know what to expect and don't expect them to be something they are not. Overall, they are not bad for the money and are great for kids if you put a little thought into the projects and directions. I am attaching pics showing a sample I did with the aqua-flo brushes and watercolor crayons and a pic showing paintings the kids made using those same products. They had NO problems using the brushes.

These brushes are unusable. The brush absorbs water from the palette or painting and contaminates the water resevoir. Because of this capilliary action the brush immediately dries, even after placing it in water. A complete waste of money.

I wasn't expecting much from this set (but I was hoping to be surprised). After comparing these to the other waterbrushes I have on hand (the Sakura and Pentel)--these are just awful. Sometimes you get what you pay for, sometimes you get less. These fall into the less category. I'm not even going to give them away, they are going straight into the trash.

Considering the affordability of the Sakura and Pentel waterbrushes, don't waste your money or paint on these.

I love the concept of an aqua brush, and will try again with a different brand, but this one leaks. I was using it with watercolor pencils, and wanted the brush to be barely damp, but it made a puddle every time it touched the paper. The barrel has a marking at the bottom that says "push", which sounds like the water is only supposed to come out when you apply a little pressure to the reservoir, but in fact, it drips at a steady rate without any pressure at all.

I purchased two sets of brushes. One for a friend to begin painting while traveling because I have used aqua brushes for years. Just great to pack and go.

I bought 9 sets for my students to use. While I like the concept of not needing to have water jars for watercolor painting, the students have struggled with the pens. The little valve inside the head of the pen falls out; many of them lost the valve the first time they opened them to fill with water. Without them, paint gets into the barrel and the brush tip can fall back into the barrel. Some students report the pens leaking water at the place where the barrel attaches to the brush head. Great idea, but not turning out to be easy to use for us. Wondering if there is a better quality aqua flow brush we can try.

I use these brushes when I watercolor my rubber stamping designs and it really gets the job done nicely.

I got these to use with my watercolor pencils. After using them for only a week, I already have issues with them. One of my brushes remains overly waterlogged, while the other refuses to stay wet at all. I will be using Niji and Koi waterbrushes in future, which I have tried before and like much better.

The set of three came a low price, but they were not usable. Within a few minutes of use, the bristles of one began to come loose and detach, one at a time. I had it filled with plain water and, in the course of using it with some pans, the paint backed up into the reservoir, contaminating the other colors I then used. I gave them to my 4-year niece. The Niji and Koi water brushes are a much better buy.
