how do you control water flow from the waterbrush? I got a waterbrush and every time I try to paint too much water comes out and my colors are just...like almost water haha

@wingedprinceofrose Hi! Do you mean the brush is leaking water when you hold it with the bristles facing down? Or do you tend to squeeze the brush whenever you put it to paper? Everyone paints and uses a brush differently, so I can’t really provide set instructions on using the water brush. But in general you don’t need to squeeze the brush every time you touch it to the paper. That will cause too much water to come out, like you described.

Love it! I already do travel journaling with watercolor, but i my country there aren´t much watercolor varieties. Can Sakura products be in stores in Portugal? Because I want a bunch of stuff from your products! (please tell me if they are already selling here)

@inestd Hi! For information about Sakura in Europe, please visit bruynzeel-sakura (dot) com. They will be able to help you locate products in Portugal.

@inestd If you do an internet search, you may be able to find an online retailer that will ship to Portugal.

@SakuraColorProducts No just too much water comes out of it-I think I squeeze the brush too hard (I squeeze my pencils hard when I draw so)

Okay thank you very much :D I appreciate your help!

[inestd]
