Brushes for watercolour
Brushes for creative projects
Here you will find paintbrushes for creative projects, journaling and hobby work.
Whether you are working with watercolour, water-based markers or collage, the right brush helps to give a more precise and professional result.
Water brushes
Water brushes are a popular tool for those who work with watercolour, watercolours or water-soluble markers. A water brush has a built-in water reservoir, which makes it easy to control the amount of water directly in the brush.
Water brushes are well suited for:
- Watercolour in journals and sketchbooks
- Blending of water-based brush pens
- Colouring in colouring books
- Creative details in a bullet journal
- Travel use where you do not want a separate water glass
The built-in water tank makes them practical to take on the move. This makes water brushes ideal for both beginners and experienced users.

Tombow water brushes are often used for blending, watercolour effects and detailed colouring in journals and colouring books.
Water brushes from Sakura
Sakura water brushes are known for their consistent water flow and durable brush tip. They are well suited for both beginners and more experienced users.
Sakura water brushes are suitable for watercolour, colour blending and creative techniques in sketchbooks and journals.
Dispensers from Stamperia
For collage, decoupage and papercraft, a good glue brush is essential. Brushes from Stamperia are designed to distribute glue evenly on paper, card and other creative materials.
A glue brush is particularly suitable for:
- Scrapbooking
- Junk journal
- Decoupage
- Applying adhesive to larger surfaces
- Precise gluing of details
An even distribution of glue reduces bubbles and unevenness and gives a neater end result.
Which paintbrush should you choose?
The choice depends on your project. If you are working with watercolour or water-based colours, a water brush is the obvious choice. If you are working with paper layers and collage, a glue brush is more suitable.
By choosing the right brush you get better control, cleaner results and a more comfortable work process.
