How do you use the waterbrush, can it be used for different colors without cleaning between?

If you are asking if it needs to be dipped in water to clean it -- no, you don't need to do that while working on a sketch or a project. But you will want to get one color off before using the next or your colors will be muddy. Usually people use tissues, paper towels or a sponge to wipe the brush bristles off between colors and this works surprisingly well. The Koi set comes with a small sponge in the container for this purpose.

Use the smaller nozzle and lower the pressure and it lays a smooth coat. I haven't been able to add two colors together yet but I'm working on it. hopes this helps

hot water. Non wire brush. And no not easily. I used mine a ton last year. Some comes off, but not a lot by any means. Even when I did use the fork/wire brush to clean paint did not come off a lot. At least on mine.

I have this brush cleaner by marykay..just spray on the brush and wipe off with a towel. But when it gets really dirty, I use baby wash and warm water

I use a clear gesso or a matte medium over them. Because they activate with water, you want to swipe your brush or roller quickly over them so they won't spread to areas you don't want color. You could also use a spray fixative or spray--but again, you have to be careful not to get them too wet so spray lightly. If you don't do one or the other, and you try to use ink pens of any type on them, you will ruin your ink pens. Hope this helps.

I would think you could use water with no problem. Paint is a very poor product in it though. It just can't seem to work very well.

You can use any brush made for water based paints. I sprayed it on, with a garden sprayer and then brushed it out to make it more even. It goes on very watery; almost like applying water to the wood. It soaks in well but don't be surprised if there's some runoff. I suggest treating boards before building your project so you can cover all sides. I did mine on plastic so any runoff was reusable for other pieces. This is a great product!

I use WC pencils and then a very light wash to blend. Also, water brushes workwith it well. I weight down the painting once it's dry. Hope this helps.

You can use any water based paint (thinned and cleaned with water) You can also use any oil based paint thinned and cleaned up with lacquer thinner. You can use with any stain. Clean up is more difficult (in my opinion) with an oil based paint or stain. I prefer water based paint. :)

My brush has the deep clean mode. I'm pretty much stuck on the daily clean mode, which seems adequate. The buttons, flashing lights, lots of overkill. Or maybe I'm just old.

To clarify my previous answer....I have put the color in a separate bowl and allowed it to dry out and then used it as a dry dust to add shimmer. Yo u can use it directly out the bottle but I usually dilute it and paint it on to change the entire surface.

Very carefully. You have to poor out access purified water from previous use, and then wipe out completely with dry paper towel. I don't wet it with water because I don't want to risk breaking the unit, so I wipe clean every time. The color of the unit gets stained from the oils, so getting it back to its original color won't happen, but that's ok. This method should clean the unit pretty effectively.

No I can't however I use a cleaning brush to clean it. If you don't have a cleaning brush use can use a vegetable cleaning brush.

Hi Itsallaboutyou, I used water to clean up my brushes (and myself) and it cleaned easily. Yes, you can reuse your brushes. Mine took quite awhile to dry, I gave it an hour or two before touching it. I do not know if it's waterproof, but I'd take a guess that it's not.

While I am not an expert, I am a professional makeup artist, and one of the main reasons I went with this airbrush was because you can use it with many different mediums: alcohol based, water based, silicone based. I would see no reason why you would have to use water only, or why you couldn't use a disinfectant solution as well. Good luck!

You should not need a brush. Just soak it in hot water immediately after use, then throw it in the dishwasher. If it gets really bad, you could soak it in PBW. I have never had to go beyond soaking it.

Hmmmm....I am not exactly sure why someone would say that a paint brush cannot be used, unless they were perhaps talking about a specific application. You should be able to use a brush with no problems really. In fact, there are artists that use these to paint on wood, canvas, and other media that is even beyond my understanding. I have even heard of others mixing these with water color paints to create numerous paint technique variations as well as unique finishes. I really apologize for any confusion, but I am sure someone may have been referring to a more specific topic. Hope that helps out.... Keda Dyes Inc Thank you for your interest
