dry brush technique

The dry brush technique involves applying paint with a brush that has very little water or paint on it, creating a textured, rough effect. It emphasizes the surface’s natural texture by allowing the underlying layers or canvas to show through. Artists often use this method to add depth, highlights, or a sense of movement. Because the brush is relatively dry, the strokes are more visible and uneven, giving the artwork a dynamic, expressive quality. This technique is common in both traditional and contemporary painting for achieving a more tactile, energetic appearance.
