Description

The Derivan Bottle and Dauber is a versatile, refillable, and squeezable art tool designed to transform bottled fluid paint, inks, or mediums into a broad felt-tip marker or dabbing tool. They are primarily used for applying consistent, controlled, and fluid applications of colour directly to a surface without needing a brush.

Transform your bottle of colour into a broad felt tip marker using this set of two 135ml bottles with felt dauber applicators. Fill them with any water-based media like Acrylic Inks or Matisse Fluids. For the best results the consistency should not be thicker than milk.

Primary Art Uses of the Derivan Bottle and Dauber:

• Broad-Tip Markers: The sponge/felt dauber applicator acts like a marker, allowing for quick, wide strokes of colour.
• Dabbing and Stippling: You can use the applicator to tap or dab colour onto a surface to create unique textures, patterns, or dots.
• Controlled Painting: The squeezable,, flexible plastic bottles enable you to control the flow of paint, making them ideal for precise application.
• Fluid Mediums: They are best used with water-based media such as Matisse Acrylic Inks, Fluid Acrylics, or watercolours.
• Drafting/Outlining: The bottles are excellent for creating outlines, filling in areas, or adding broad details.

Storage and Convenience:

• Colour Storage:  Ideal for storing custom-mixed colours or decanting larger bottles of ink or paint into smaller, more manageable containers.
• Travel-Friendly: Their size makes them perfect for artists to take small amounts of paint or medium on the go.
• Labelling: The plastic bottles are great; record paint ratios on the outside of the bottle with a marker.

Ideal Media and Applications:

• Best Results: The paint consistency should be thin, ideally “not thicker than milk,” to work best with the dauber tip.
• Application Types: Suitable for art, journaling, fabric art, and crafting.
• Cleaning: Easily clean the bottles with soap and water.

Note: The dauber top works best on surfaces with some tooth (e.g., canvas, paper, wood), rather than slick surfaces.
