A pre-filled watercolor brush pen doesn’t need any special cleaning, since it is essentially a marker with a brush tip. However, if you’re using a water brush, you can clean it by filling the tube with clean water and squeezing it out of the chamber, then wiping the bristles on a clean paper towel until the water comes out clear. Use the paper towel or your fingers to smooth the bristles into a neat point, then cap the brush to protect it.

Watercolor brush pens don’t really need special care. Simply place the caps on tightly when you’re done so that they don’t dry out. Also take care that the tips don’t get bent by using light pressure when you paint with them and being careful when you put on the cap.

Some types, such as the ColorIt watercolor brush pen, are designed to be refilled. You can also use water brushes as refillable brush pens by filling them with ink or a mixture of water and water-soluble paint.

What is a good brand of watercolor brush pens? I recently got OOLY Chromacolor brush pens, but they didn't come with a clear water pen.

Arteza is a very good brand. The strokes are accurate and I use it. It also has a lot of color variety.
