Product Information
Full details
This set of three Viva Decor water tank brushes is designed for artists looking to create beautiful watercolor effects on paper with ink or watercolors. The key benefit is the controlled delivery of water to the brush tip for seamless blending and vibrant washes. A potential consideration is the need to regularly moisten the painting tip to maintain optimal flow and color saturation.

FAQs
How do I fill the water tank?
Simply unscrew the water tank from the brush handle and fill it with water or diluted ink. Then, screw the tank back on securely.
What type of media can I use with these brushes?
These brushes are designed for use with watercolors and inks. Ensure that the media is diluted enough to flow smoothly through the brush.
How often should I moisten the brush tip?
You should moisten the brush tip regularly, especially when starting a painting session or if you notice the flow becoming less consistent. This ensures optimal color saturation and smooth application.
Can I use regular ink in the tank?
It is recommended to use diluted inks or watercolor washes rather than thick, opaque inks to prevent clogging the brush tip and ensure proper flow.
How do I clean the brush after use?
Rinse the brush head thoroughly under running water. Empty the tank and allow both parts to air dry completely before storing.
Are there different sizes included in the set?
Yes, the set includes three brushes in different sizes to cater to various artistic needs and line thicknesses.
Troubleshooting
Brush is not dispensing water or ink.
Ensure the tank is securely screwed onto the handle. Check that the brush tip is fully saturated with water. Gently squeeze the tank to encourage flow. If using ink, ensure it is sufficiently diluted.
Water or ink is leaking from the tank.
Verify that the tank is properly sealed. Check for any cracks in the tank or handle connection. Ensure the brush is stored upright when filled.
Pigment flow is inconsistent.
Moisten the brush tip regularly to maintain saturation. Clean any dried pigment from the brush head and bristles. Ensure the ink or paint mixture is not too thick.
Bristles are splayed or damaged.
Avoid excessive pressure when painting. Store the brush with the tip protected or upright to maintain bristle shape. Gentle cleaning and proper drying can help preserve bristle integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up your Viva Decor water tank brushes, unscrew the water tank from the brush handle. Fill the tank with clean water or your desired diluted ink. Screw the tank back onto the handle securely to prevent leaks. Before painting, dip the brush into water until fully saturated. Gently squeeze the tank or brush barrel to encourage water flow to the tip.
Compatibility: These brushes are compatible with most standard watercolors, inks, and water-soluble markers. Ensure that any liquid used is sufficiently diluted to flow properly through the brush tip.
Care: After each use, thoroughly rinse the brush head under running water. Unscrew the tank and empty any remaining liquid. Allow both the tank and brush to air dry completely before reassembling or storing. Periodically, you may need to soak the brush tip in warm water to remove dried pigment buildup.
