Tell you the correct way to chop your watercolor pen

There are ten points to consider when choosing a pen:

1. Moisture content, the pen with the same length and width should have a large water content.

2. The speed of launching water, if it is a standard 45 degree holding pen to draw, the color should be drawn evenly on the paper instead of more and then less.

3. Holding the pen at different angles will affect the speed of launching to complete different techniques. The vertical ink volume is large, and the inclined ink volume is small to form a dry pen.

4. Pen shape, clean and dry pen into water should form a beautiful and clean shape without stray hairs and converge into peaks.

5. The smoother and clearer the edge of the stroke, the better (this one is not used for various texture brushes)

6. Elasticity, according to the characteristics of the pen, different pens have different elastic requirements.

7. The shape of the pen holder, the balance of the pen, whether the pen holder is well-made and completely straight, and whether it is comfortable to hold the pen for a long time. Will it be tiresome to hold the pen for a long time?

8. The wood and paint of the pen barrel are directly related to the waterproofness and service life. Long-term deformation is not to be mentioned. Have you heard the term "explosive rod"?

9. Durable, this one can only depend on the fine workmanship for unfamiliar brushes when choosing. Pens are chronic consumables anyway. If it is not durable, even if it is cheap, it is worth the loss.

10. Is it easy to clean, the pen that is easy to clean has a longer life, and the color mixing is purer
