If you primed in black gesso and/or sealed it with some really hard varnish, I'm pretty sure you could wipe away paint with isopropyl alcohol when you're done to clean it. Then you don't get a lot of paint build up and you're back to black after each session. Now I'm gonna have to make one of these lol 🤔😄

Comment regarding brush movement while dry brushing. Circle movements are good for getting as much paint onto the surface as possilbe, leaving only the deepest of recesses. Back and forth movements limit paint on the surface which can be advantageous. Also dry brushing from one direction only can be useful to being even more selective in applying paint on the surface, like an example: zenithol lighting effect. Kind of like how you use an air brush. Also, as you said, the amount of paint on the brush controls the dry brush effect. But also the angle of the brush to the miniature will effect how paint is applied to the surface.

Artis Opus sells excellent textured dry pallets (for those who'd rather not make their own). Also Have a small sponge around. You want to soak it in water and then squeeze it out to leave it just a little damp. Use the damp sponge to get a little moisture in the brush prior to loading it with paint. Makes the result so much smoother. Artis Opus have a great youtube channel with tons of dry brushing tutorials. Never know how deep dry brushing goes until I came about their channel.

That is a great idea! I have a textured mat but this is a great alternative. Another thing a lot of people get wrong is actually using a DRY brush. Get yourself a moist sponge. You actually want a bit of moisture in the bristles which prevents the brush from pulling water out of the paint which then leaves you with the powdery looking finish on your model.

Nice idea to make a palette! What I currently do: Have a wet paper towel and a very dry paper towel. After using the drybrush for a while I whipe it over the wet towel and then the dry towel to clean the drybrush without making it wet. That helps a lot with a slowly hardening drybrush due to dried and hardened paint.

Looks very effective, can tell the difference already. Would definitely suggest you try out emulating a zenithil light source (above only) with the white. It can give a more realistic shadow effect with slapchop. Also maybe be a bit lighter with the white brushing, catching just raised edges or top facing panels helps to emphasise the models shapes!

To stop the chalky texture, you need a small tub, sponge inside and a tiny amount of water. You dab the brush in before using paint to partually dampen the brush. It keeps the paint "wet" that stops it drying out and going chalky. Look up Artis Opus for the technique, it transcends drybrushing

Get yourself a finger tip dampener (or bit of soft moist but not wet sponge in the interim). Despite the technique being called dry brush, it actually works best (and looks less chalky) if there is a bit of moisture on the brush. I also like to make a transition on the pallet from my darker colour to light and dip into different points so I can drybrush transitions in easily. It is an extremely easy and fast technique. Oh and the moistened drybrush cleans easier too :)
@jherazob
Жыл бұрын
If you haven't got a fingertip dampener available in any local store, just get a big bottlecap (like from milk or juice or something), and stick a piece of sponge in it. That's what Jay from Eons of Battle did (although he used a standard metallic soda cap, which i feel is a bit small), just put a couple drops of water in there and you're ready to use it.
