Games Workshop Citadel - Pot à Eau

I scoffed when I saw this branded cup at the game store. Then I saw the ridges along the bottom and sides of the cup and the grooves for refining the brush tip and the place molded into the top of the cup to rest the brush. Im used to drawing the brush across a paper towel to form the tip and remove excess water. Using the grooves on the side of the cup, the point is mostly formed and the excess water mostly shed. As a result, drawing the brush across a paper towel only leaves a trace of water, and Im not replacing soggy paper towels every hour. In addition, the ridges on the bottom and sides of the cup help to remove paint by drawing the brush over them (as opposed to simply swirling it around in a glass jar). With less paint held up in the brush, in theory brush life will be extended. The cup is also lightweight and solid. It seems silly to buy a water cup, but the innovations in this one are proving very useful and convenient.

Helps clean the brush between different shades and type of color

At first it seemed kind of lame but its actually nice the side and bottom inside of the cup have edges to run your brush against. Then theres slits at the upper edge to keep your brushes at a fine tip overall is say its worth the price

perfect! great for any painter!

I thought it was ridiculous to spend on a water pot but this thing is great. Lots of little grooves and bumps to clean your brushes on.

Look, you know why you bought this. It does what it should and looks how it should and what else do you really need? No complaints here. Quit drinking paint out of your paint mug and upgrade already!

If you have good brushes you care about, buy this water pot. It has ridges and fins inside the pot to help clean brushes. Ive seen a vast improvement in the longevity of my brushes just in changing to these Citadel Water Pots.

And has a logo on it

Ok. It’s a water pot lol.

Ive always used a cast off glass jar for holding paint water, but was curios enough to give this a try. The ridges and brush guides really do help. Its worth the price just for the brush shapers.
