Dry painting technique
Dry brushing is a painting technique where a brush with very little paint is lightly applied to a surface, often with a sweeping or textured motion. This method creates a subtle, textured effect, highlighting details or adding a sense of depth without overwhelming the underlying layers. It is commonly used to enhance surfaces, add highlights, or create textures that resemble natural materials like wood grain or weathered surfaces. The key is controlling the amount of paint and pressure to achieve the desired translucency and texture, making it a versatile tool for artists and decorative painters.
