Cheap dollar store makeup brushes are the almost ideal drybrush. To limit the chalkiness, you can occasionally 'dampen' your brush on a sponge that is wet (as super well demonstrated by the Artis Opus miniature painting channel). Miniature painters have been using drybrushing for eons.

Erin, I also prefer to do drybrushing with enamel based paint so in case I get a chip that looks too strong I can remove it with oil based thinner. Of course its extremely important to gloss coat with a lacquer, so you protect youre paint underneath so the enamel thinner dont strip your previously applied coats.

In regards to the comments about using a retarder - i use glycerin to help with slowing the paint from drying and i use isopropyl to accelerate it. Water is a little in between those two. This is just what I've discovered that works for me (acrylic paint). Hope this helps!

I use mostly acrylics. Each one is different when it comes to thinning and dry time. I dry brush but have not used a varnish in between layers. The way I do it works well for me but I'll try this to see if there is any actual difference. Love these tip videos =)

Thanks for watching! You're absolutely correct, everyone has their preferences for drybrushing, but the basics are the same: get the paint out of the brush then lightly apply.

A throw back to Verlinden way. Not used as much, only used on worn or chipped edges. Modern modelers used this technique to a minimum.

I prefer oils/enamels, easier to work with and better results. If using acrylics, though, you can use a 'wet' palette to extend the working time of the acrylic, or a retarder. Excellent video! 👍

No problem! Again, everyone has a little different technique, different style, but the basics are universal.

@@FineScaleModelermagazine Absolutely true! I use the drybrush technique too but in a slightly different way.

Thanks for this. Do you gloss coat->wash->matt/satin coat->drybrush then? Wondering about the sequence

I like to use makeup brushes, and I actually thin the paint down, then I don't wind up wasting so much on the paper towel. You just wait for the thinners to gas off (dry) from the brush and you're left with a fairly even but very light amount of paint on the brush.

That's interesting. How long do you let the paint dry before applying it to the model?

Just a heads up, on the use of acrylic paint. Use some retarder to blend in the paint, this will slow down the drying time, and the gunking up. :-)

A great point, and perhaps something we'll cover in another video for more-advanced modeling techniques. For many, enamels are still the go-to for dry-brushing. Thanks for watching and subscribing to the channel!

I can’t see it. It must be a very subtle technique

Should dry brushing be done before or after doing a wash/pin wash?
