Dry Brushing with Acrylic Paints


1. Start with painting the base coat black. Make sure there are no white pieces left. Touch up and and let the piece fully dry.

2. It is all about the layers. Remember the brush needs little paint. Wipe off on a paper bag

3. Start with the darker colors first. Use a pounding motion when applying the brush to the piece.

4. The lighter areas will need you to layer to unsure the color you want.

5. Make sure you a different brush for every color.

6. Remember to not paint in the crevices. The dark shadows give you the depth and character.

7. Finish and fine detailing and touch up any of the shadow areas.


Have fun with it. Make something special for all occasions....
