Dry
Brushing
The next step- after your paint has dried, is to vary the color by dry
brushing. Dry Brushing is a tricky thing to do, as you have to keep
things light. So, I usually shake up a bottle (Floquil Grimy Black)
and then take off the lid.
:: Start by lightly dipping the brush in
the lid and then blotting most of the paint off on a scrap piece of
paper. Blot until there is hardly any paint left on the brush.
:: Then, lightly brush some color onto
your wall section. You can either lightly swipe the brush over the
surface or blot the wall. You will get different results, so try
both ways and see what you like best. I often do a little of each
for variation.
:: Go over most of your wall section and
keep varying the darkness of the patches. The finished wall section
is shown at right. Nothing is too dark, and there is a lot of
variation. At this point things don't look to realistic, but further
weathering will pull things together. |
