Would recommend to any watercolorist at home or on the go or even someone who uses ink just fill up the barrel with ink dont use waterproof ink those will clog up your brush and go to town

Only thing that is different is the plastic its made of im guessing since it has a different texture and color and it screws right instead of left to tighten it not much of a difference though

Have always avoided watercolors because of memories of grade school watercolors
