Faber-Castell Clic & Go Artist Water Cup - Dark Green

Holds enough water and easily presses down and stays compressed when packing it up. Will be curious to see how well the materials last from it being folded up like an accordion. Like the scalloped top rim for laying down brushes out of the water. Perfect for my small plein air setup.

I love this! It is very convenient

Perfect size and very handy

Very handy. Very portable. Does not tip easily. Just plan to put one brush at a time on it.

Love the compact design, works so well to provide the drying place for my brushes too.

Great for painting and for holding pencils!!

Lightweight small enough to take with you and top is perfect to lay paintbrush down on

These cups are great, and I can’t paint without it! None of the other water cups/buckets I’ve ever bought have the wavy edge this one has. I can let my brushes sit horizontally, which is at least helpful in preventing potential water and paint damage to the brush. The silicone material and wavy edge also help make sure the brushes don’t roll away. I absolutely love how convenient these are to travel with as well. For those unaware, good brush care means trying to keep water/pigment out of the ferrule and soaking into wooden handles. This is really difficult when the only storage option are holes along the side of the water cup, therefore the only way to store a wet brush is to place it with the handle in the hole, allowing water/pigment to drain into the ferrule and wood handle. Over time, this would loosen the glue and cause the wood to expand/contract as it absorbs water and dries, ruining the brush faster. Ideally, brushes should be dried hanging by the handle with the bristles pointed down, allowing the water to drain away from the ferrule and wood handle.

A bit heavy because it has glass on the bottom. On the other hand, it sits well.

I use this when I travel. It is a very handy way to set up an impromptu watercolor session.
