How to Use a Dry Brush

To use your dry brushes, first lightly dip the tip of any of your brushes into the paint you wish to paint, then remove most of it by wiping it on a piece of paper or other absorbent material. The goal is to leave a minimal amount of paint only on the tips of the bristles.

Next, gently drag the brush across the surface you are painting with a light touch. This technique works best on raised or textured surfaces, as the paint will only settle on the raised areas, creating lights and shadows.

You can repeat this process with different colors to create a layered effect and build texture. It's important to work slowly and carefully, adding a small amount of paint each time, as the dry brush technique can be subtle and requires some practice to master.

Remember to clean them well after each use, as dried paint can damage the bristles and affect their performance. It's highly recommended to use these brushes with dry brush paints.
