Enso – Portable Water Painting Board with Brush – Reusable Zen Drawing Canvas for Mindfulness, Meditation, and Creative Relaxation – Travel Art Set

The Buddha Board is fun and is holding up really well. Following the directions of use - the type of brush and not touching it with fingers, etc are important. At first I was pressing harder than needed out of habit with regular brush and paper. Note: If you feel you are not getting a dark line as you 'draw' with the brush provided, move slower. I'm enjoying it practicing brush stroke as well as just for fun. Dries pretty quickly - within less than 3-5 minutes from first picture to second picture.

A great gift for a budding artist -- young or old! I own one and purchased as a gift for my granddaughter.

I bought it for my MIL since she's artistic and I love the one my aunt and uncle bought me. It made her very happy which was needed when going in and out of the hospital. Absolutely a win of a gift. It only needs water to paint and it's really nice to help meditate by painting with what strokes haven't evaporated. I only have the smaller version, but mine helped me work through a lot of emotions during some of my worst times.

My granddaughter said she like it...she loves to draw n color...I haven't used it myself 🙃

I just have to say, hats off to the people who designed this product. I have a few other magic cloth writing devices, but this one is very clever! It’s the size of an iPad 11 and I find it curiously amusing that there’s no electronics in it just you the surface the water and the brush. I love this idea not only is this thing good for practicing Chinese calligraphy but to do simple freeform gesture drawings on this is lots of fun. Your images appear and then slowly disappear. The build quality of this product is very good. The water pencil is simple and effective. I have also tried using a traditional calligraphy brush on it with water. That works great for a broader strokes. I highly recommend this product to anyone as a great way to exercise your drawing muscle muscles and chill out without a glaring screen, staring back at you.

These are absolutely wonderful. Our two grandchildren love to draw and they loved these.

I wanted to get used to doing brush and ink artwork without using my ink or getting to attached to doing it right while learning, so I grabbed one of these. It is incredibly useful, portable, and convenient. The absence of mess even makes it usable in bed, while traveling or sitting outside, and on public transit like airplanes, buses, trains, etc. without any worries whatsoever. Not only that, but I was very surprised and pleased to see how useful it is when practicing calligraphy and orthography. I've only just begun learning Hebrew, and the orthography is a whole new world. Using one of these to practice the script while sounding out the words has been an invaluable aid to learning. I imagine it would be useful for all manner of languages with non-Roman orthographies like Korean, Japanese, Chinese, various Indian scripts, etc. so that you can get used to the new writing system without getting too worried about getting it perfect as a new learner. And again, I can't stress enough the convenience of the thing and the fact that it is entirely mess-free, highly portable, and requires no ink. i hope it lasts a long time; I can't really rate it on durability as I've only just begun using it. Could be a better value for money, but I do very much like the unfolding stand and a waterbrush is included, so there's that. :-)

Pen has lack of flow. Seems need to shake it after every stroke, and no instructions are provided for this. Can fill pen with water, but takes a while to get into brush tip. Does not have efficient flow.
