It can be used in many different places and areas; metal, chainmail, fur, hair, bases, scenery and can be used for highlighting, especially on tanks. It is a very easy technique to learn and quick to master. First you need an old brush or a special 'drybrush'. Get some paint on your brush and then wipe nearly all of it off on a tissue or towel. Now flick your brush backwards and forwards in a smooth motion over the area you are drybrushing. The paint only appears on the raised areas and on very detailed areas will leave no paint on the lower parts. The less paint you wipe off your brush, the more likely you are to make a mess instead of drybrush, so it's best to wipe off quite a lot to begin with and see whether you need more paint or not. The more coats of drybrushing the brighter the colour will appear.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="373" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#BF0000" BORDERCOLORDARK="#BF0000" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#FFFF80 > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 32 ><NOBR><div> WARNING!</div> <div> Drybrushing wrecks brushes, so remember to use an old brush!</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id103.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Basecoating"><U><<Previous Section</U></A>  |  <A HREF="id105.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Painting Metal"><U>Next Section>></U></A>  |  <A HREF="id74.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Rookie"><U>Back to Rookie</U></A></div> <bR> <div> This not answer your painting needs? <A HREF="id25.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact"><U>click here</U></A> to email us a <A HREF="id25.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact"><U>question</U></A>, or <A HREF="id70.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Painting Guide"><U>here</U></A> to try another level of skill.</div> <bR> <div> Is there anything you would like to add or a section/technique you think should be added to the painting guide? why not send us an <A HREF="id335.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contributons"><U>email</U></A> about it.
