I've been eyeing the Derwent Push Button Water Brushes for a while now. The push button seems like such a great idea.  When I decided to teach my Sketchbook Habit online class( https://bit.ly/visualdiaryhabit ), I determined that I simply had to buy the brushes in order to be a good teacher.  After all, what if a student asked me about them and I hadn't yet tried them?  I was super excited when they arrived, but after trying them out, I have to say: meh. 

I feel like the Sakura brush was superior in the areas of flow/release and dump. I was able to paint more evenly and for longer using the Sakura brush. So help me out here. What am I missing about these Derwent brushes?
