Water Cup for Miniature Painting

 


I came across this water cup for cleaning brushes while painting. I've been using other items for a water cup - turning upside down the miniature blister pack, a paper cup (don't leave water in there too long or it will leak), cutting the top of a water bottle, a coffee/drink mug (don't confuse with your actual drink or you'll be drinking dirty paint water), etc.

It's nice to have an actual water cup designed to effectively clean and hold brushes. This has nice grooves on the bottom and sides along with vertical grooves to squeeze the water out of the brush and bring it to a point. It has a slot on top for your current brush and three slots in the back to hold upright an additional three brushes.  I actually would have liked more brush holder slots and some slots for larger size brushes. It's hard to tell from the angle of the picture but the bottom actually flares out just a bit from the top making this cup just about impossible to knock over so no dirty water all over the paint space.
