The technique of using a dry brush with a minimal amount of paint in it to add
depth, shading and highlighting details to a model. The
brush is dipped in paint and using paper or cardboard, most of the paint is removed from the
brush.
- Paint the piece a matte or flat black being sure to cover the entire piece.
- Take a dry brush with stiff bristles and dip the tip into the color paint
you want the base of your piece to be and then wipe
the paint off onto a piece of paper by moving your brush up and down, side to
side across the paper removing most of the paint from the brush.
- Run the brush quickly and lightly over the piece evenly trying not to get the paint into the
depressions and detail lines. This will provide a base for the rest of the
painting and bring out the detail.
That's how you do it. It would be good to practice first or model until you get the feel for it.
ENJOY!
