    This is a question for any of you guys who regularly use water colours in their illustrations. Does this indiegogo project look a bit too good to be true? The videos make this product look pretty cool:

    Hahh interesting, thanks. And no, it looks actually real, and a great idea.

    I've taken a punt and backed it.

    It's such a nice idea to be able to carry a little watercolour set around with you and have it as easy to use as something like a set of markers.

    I guess the big thing is the waterbrush pens, are they any cop? I think the big deal would be not needing to carry a jar of water with you.

    I'll report back when they ship.

    • yep the idea is in that pen not the colorset, i hope it has some replaceable brushes otherwise it falls into the toy caregory...
      spent a few bucks we will see.

    • water brush pens been around for years...I like the pentel ones, but any pen company makes them...you can fill them with ink or watercolor if you like too.uan
    • and you don't need to replace the brushes, 'cause they are made of synthetic material. the one I have is still like new after 2 years of use.uan
    • nevertheless you will need also a normal brush, the water pen ones always add water to the color, so a normal brush is a good thing to have with you.uan
    • I use this winsor and newton pocket box with this incredible brush that is like 15 years old and still work perfectly:uan

    • pocket box with the pen + water brush pen for water and you are set.
      so, I'm not really sure the colors on sheet is any improvement to this old school setup.

    quite real. I remeber having little sets like this years ago. There were also some watercolour kits like this that had a paint-by-numbers drawing to fill in

    • < Yep. Had something like this as a kid as well...ETM
