What is dry brushing?
Dry brushing is a painting technique where only a small amount of paint is administered to the model in order to highlight raised areas.
You take your paint brush, dip it in the desired colour paint then remove the majority of the paint from the brush using the side of the paint pot, then wipe bristles in a piece of kitchen roll taking off more of the paint, then with a left to right flicking motion let the bristles flick over the model which will deposit a small amount of paint.
This process can be repeated until the desired affect is achieved.
