Waterbrush Refill Syringe
I love sketching with waterbrushes in the field. They help keep my Art Toolkit simple, and I don’t have to worry about carrying traditional brushes and water containers. Still, waterbrushes can be a hassle to refill without spilling water, which I’m especially mindful of when I’m out hiking where water is scarce. My solution is to carry a small 3ml syringe to help transfer water from my water bottle to brush without losing a drop. I am happy to announce that I now to offer a waterbrush refill syringe in my shop.
It’s approximately 3″ when closed with a 3/8″ plastic tip (no needle!) that fits perfectly in a waterbrush barrel.
I keep my syringe in one of the small rear pockets of my Art Toolkit so I’ve always got it with me.
I love hearing about off-beat tools to use in the field. Let me know any favorites you’ve discovered!

I used a syringe to add water to my paints but switched to a spray bottle as it was more efficient. I almost threw my syringe out the other day. Thanks for sharing your tip with us. What a great way to refill my water brush in the field.
Thanks again.

You’re welcome! I also have a small spray bottle, they’re great tools. I think mine came from a set of complimentary hotel toiletries. Cheers, Maria

I was thrilled to read about this tiny tool and doubly thrilled because I had 3 in my medicine box (left overs from my grandchildren’s meds). Have had them for years without knowing how I would use them. WOOHOO! Now I have one on my art table and one in my art kit. So cool.
