What is dry brushing?

Dry brushing

Dry brushing is a techinque we use when we have the brush free of moisture. Blot your brush well before loading with paint, and then squeeze excess paint out. Lightly dust over the surface to be dry brushed. Use feathery strokes rather than full ones. This will leave light traces of your paint on the surface. Repeat to build up colour.
