GSW's premium range of blue series brushes is meticulously crafted by hand using only the finest quality materials, and they are used to create a textured effect by spreading a minimal amount of paint thinly across the surface, highlighting raised areas and producing shadows. They are versatile tools that can be used to add depth and dimension to your artwork.

Dry brushing brushes are a type of paintbrushes used in modeling to make the dry brush painting technique where only a minimal paint is used and the excess moisture is removed. This technique is popular in various art forms, including miniature painting, ceramics, and canvas painting.

The bristles of dry brushing technique brushes are typically bigger and round, making them capable of withstanding hard dry brushwork that would normally break a normal one in a few uses. This technique produces a distinctive, textured effect, creating highlights and shadows on the raised areas of a surface.

This dry brush set is ideal for creating weathered or aged effects, adding subtle highlights to miniature models, and creating texture in art pieces. With a light touch and minimal acrylic paint, dry brushing technique brushes can add depth and dimension to your artwork.

How to use a Dry brush set

To use dry paint brushes, first, dip the tip of any of your brushes into your desired paint and then remove most of it by wiping it off on a paper towel or other absorbent material. The goal is to have a minimal amount of paint on the tip, leaving only the tips of the bristles coated.

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

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

Remember to clean them thoroughly after each use, as dried paint can damage the bristles and affect their performance. Highly recommended to use these brushes with dry brush paints.
