How to perform the "Dry Brush" technique

 

The "Dry Brush" technique is an extremely versatile decorative method, applicable on any surface.

Easy to perform and with a refined final effect, this technique allows you to obtain elegant shades and a unique worn effect.

 

How to do the Dry Brush?

The execution of the Dry Brush is very simple and requires very little paint.

Follow these steps to achieve a perfect result:

  1. Use a well-dried brush with very little color.
  2. Further remove excess paint by rubbing the brush on a piece of cardboard or a dry cloth.
  3. Apply the color with light movements, almost caressing the surface, proceeding in the direction of the wood grain or along the length of the object for a more natural effect.

 

Which colors to choose?

For an optimal result, the Dry Brush is done with a color tint contrasting with the base color.

Practical example: If the base is Cotton colored, a Dry Brush with the shade Tortorelle will give depth and fascinating color plays to the surface.

 

Final protection

Once the Dry Brush is finished and completely dry, it is essential to protect the work with wax or liquid protective.

This will ensure greater durability and resistance over time.

 

Try this technique with brushes and Magic Paint paints and transform any surface with an artistic and sophisticated touch!
