I have just got back into hobby after 20 years. I was never a good painter, and that's a huge reason why I dropped it, despite loving it so much. Your videos have leveled up my painting in just a couple weeks to a level I genuinely thought I could never achieve. I'm now able to finally get right into hobby while I'm facing some real challenges in life...and this has genuinely helped me more than I can describe. Thank you so so much my brother.
Absolutely amazing guide, we believe this is your next how to thin your paints, this is an amazing guide, no non-sense, no time wasting, very practical, shows how it is done then you show the theory behind it, why there is problems how to solve them. It is everything anyone could want in a guide and more. We gave it a shout out just after watching it because this is amazing. We know the level of work that goes into these things, and though Brushtroke maybe humble, we will shout him out, he did an amazing level of work to make this guide for you guys. Well done and I hope this video gets the love it deserves! Keep those brushes slightly damp, not too damn enough so you can brush it on smoothly even when drybrushing 😉 So smooth 🍑 smooth
@@Z00111111 Yeah, we are pretty fast but everyone learns differently, and that's totally okay. I believe we both live by a very similar principle don't waste peoples time
Dry brushing is literal magic. Its not a noob way of painting, its just a tool in your toolbox. Alot of professional painters and even a few golden deamon winners use dry brushing.
These videos are among the best out there! The animated diagrams really help illustrate the point in a clear, no nonsense manner! I know the production of these kind of videos takes more time, but damn! It's not the quantity, but the quality that counts, and your videos deliver this in spades! Keep up the great work man! As a new comer, I'm learning a lot from these! If only other youtubers were willing to put in the extra effort as what is found here!
Thank you 🙏 It’s so great to hear when people find the animations helpful. They are time consuming to make, so Im glad you’ve found them worth that extra effort 👍
The mistake I see a lot of people make is to use one or two shades only. This results in the bristles leaving streaks, even on a properly dried brush. If you want expert level dry brush, use several shades. I use up to 5 on figures and miniatures. As each coat gets lighter, and you dry brush a little less. If you do it right, it looks fantastic. If you do it wrong, it looks crappy and rushed. Done properly you will never see a brush stroke, or streak.
I am a new painter. I have been practicing dry brushing. I have watched numerous videos on it and slap chop. Your video has helped me quite a bit. I was doing some things incorrectly. Thank you
I've seen dozens of videos about drybrushing. This is by far the best tutorial. I really need to make a drypalette to check the amount of paint on brush before applying it to the mini
Thank you I was worried people would just think “oh, another drybrush video. Big deal.” So it’s good to hear you thought it different to others you’ve watched. As for the texture board, yes. Get one, it’s so helpful to know you won’t ruin the mini with that first stroke. As for making one, go for it! And in case you just never get round to it, you can always just buy one 😉
I made one out of a cheap food container then hot glued a heap of different things. Timber scraps, mdf, seed pods, sticks etc and even glued some sand onto a smooth surface. Coat of black and ready to use.
I was in my local Warhammer shop yesterday and I was asking about dry brushing techniques because I’ve only been painting minis for a few weeks. Brushstroke was there and offered some advice which has already improved my painting overall. To which I would like to personally say thank you and I will make slowly make my way through your videos and eagerly await any newer content! 👍
Wonderful tutorial, as are all the others on this channel I've seen. I don't think I've seen better, more imformative, articulate, well produced videos on painting than the ones you create. Well done sire...er sir (Fruedian Slip intended) The format, illustrations, and quite simply your speaking voice are all top notch. I like how you touch on dry and dust issues, this has always been my problem. I always assumed "Drybrush" meant . . . DRY BRUSH. I will be using these techniques on my next model. Got a new set of drybrushes, a moisture pad, and ordered a texture palette (Brushstroke edition of course). Say on those texture palettes, for priming I assume you used spray undercoat? Subscribed and Joined...money well spent. Cheers,
Live your videos and your vibe. Dry brushing is one of my favorite techniques because of its speed. So naturally I'm intrigued listening to your thoughts on this
Thanks man The video is aimed at an intro level, but hopefully a few little bits in there for seasoned dry brushers too. Look forward to hearing your thoughts
OK, there's two answers to that The first is, a quick clean can be achieved by simply brushing against your texture board. Just brushing like that actually removes 99% of the paint and is the method Artis Opus promotes. For deeper cleaning, which is my preferred method, I use brush soap and the process I use is detailed in this video ruclips.net/video/chBHaXh8iko/видео.html Hope it helps
Thanks for showing/explaining to us when AND HOW OFTEN to dampen our brushes. I always assumed the dampening sponges were just for "reactivating" the remaining paint visible on the brush without having to get more from my palette, and it never ended well. I also didn't know I should dampen before getting paint, so I will be trying that out soon with my Minotaur dry brushes.
As a bit of a sidetrack, you can actually drybrush well with shade paints, however the result comes out more of a tint than a highlight. Excellent way to achieve a gradient, like going from bone to brown on a flat wing etc.
Yes, you’re absolutely right. You can technically drybrush with any paint. In order to try and keep things clearer for beginners I was just saying to get the highlight results I was demonstrating, steer clear of washes, inks etc. You raise a good point though, using drybrushing to glaze is a cool idea
10:14 The variation in paint application through the stroke from a flat brush also changes depending on how you sweep the brush over the surface; your example shows sweeping the brush edge-on across the surface, where using it flat-on would increase the variation -- there's less chance for the bristles to contact the surface at the ends of the sweep when swept flat -- but the side-to-side area covered is wider.
Yes, absolutely. You’re spot on. As I said in the video, the illustration was very simplified but intended to make people consider how the brush contacts the surface will make a difference. When choosing between the flat and rounded brushes I did say that they can both achieve the same results but with the flat you need to be more aware of your strokes and contact. Because the curved brush is curved in all directions it makes it more fool proof, as it will behave the same no matter how you hold it. Thanks for commenting 🙂
I want to sincerely thank you for putting all the time and effort into making these videos. You have been EXTREMELY helpful in my beginning stages of getting into 40k and painting miniatures. Thank you for all the great work you do!
Great instruction. Thanks a lot for this. Your visualization is absolutely marvelous. I'll give those drybrushes a try - but some cheaper ones from Abteilung or AK. I hope they are still much better than normal brushes. I got acrylic paints from Schmincke in tubes. Let's see how that works.
That Eldar Flesh Dry paint you have is crazy. I've got (and use to good effect) Ryza Rust Dry and it is nothing like that, it's more like a thick heavy body acrylic rather than the almost-powder you've got there.
Ah now, Ryza Rust is an interesting one. So, when it was first released it was labelled as a Technical paint and has only recently been labelled as a Dry paint. As such, I do forget it's now classed as a dry paint. I will concede that it is the exception to the rule and actually very good for rust effects. You wouldn't, however, want to be trying to use it to highlight edges orange. So, good effect paint, poor drybrushing paint?
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Interesting! I had no idea it was actually a renamed technical paint; that explains it. I figured all Dry was like it so you've saved me ever buying any of the other Dry line 😄
@@JayTeacakes yeah, ryza rust was originally released alongside Blood for the Blood God, Nihilakh oxide etc So, don’t waste your money on the other drys 👍
Brilliant video. I'm currently stripping my traditional coloured Sisters army and going for a custom white blue. It's requiring a lot of dry brushing, this video is absolutely going to help improve this!
Love your videos I just found you but your tips are helping me to understand a lot better on painting. Can you also make a video on how to paint a tyranids. Keep up the good work

Great video! The only thing I would suggest is do not use a paper towel and just go straight to the texture palette. Paper towel tends to leave little "hairs" on the brush that WILL end up on the mini, complicating things. Its 100% worth buying or making (which I did) your own textured palette. :)
100% this. The use of the paper towel is only shown as an introduction to show what “traditionally” drybrushing is. The video is then intended to show why you shouldn’t use it and concludes just use a texture palette. Texture palettes are so helpful Thanks for watching 👍
Your vids are awesome, really good job, you explain everything clearly and make it so easy to understand, I love watching your vids they really help. Keep it up 👍
Excellent video! This is getting saved to my playlist. Do you have a guide on using weathering powder? I’m wanting to incorporate that into my miniature painting.

THat's the cool thing. The more you use it, the more texture you make. Just keep painting over the dry paint and if you like you can always prime over it again too
The knight model is called The Steel Rook and was an event exclusive mini by GW. They’re going for crazy money on eBay now unfortunately Very cool mini.
Stick with it. The main thing to concentrate on is to use very little pressure. Try and barely touch the surface with the brush. It is then easier to apply more pressure to increase the amount of paint applied to the surface. Far harder to take paint off. As you say, keep practicing and if you have questions please ask 👍
The knight mini is The Steel Rook from GW. Unfortunately it’s an event exclusive mini, so not available anymore. Hopefully it will get released in the future
These are some wonderful tips I never thought of and uses for dry brushing, thank you so much! I'm curious to see if any of these translate over for the Gundam models I typically build
@BrushstrokePaitingGuides Hay, you are great. I watched nearly all of you Vids. You inspirated me to painting my first 40KMinitures but one Question is there any tipps you can give (maybe in a Vid) what basic Colores i shoud get ? To start ? Colors you normaly ever use?
Hey, thank you Really glad you’re enjoying my channel. And so great you’re want to paint some miniatures. In terms of what colours you should buy, I think it depends on what you’d like to paint first. Usually it’s best to get the basic colours of your first box of minis and then you can add different colours as you go. So, what are you wanting to paint first?
that's a very good question and something I have myself tried when I realised how poor they were. And, no, I've never been able to convert one back to a "normal" paint. The chemistry of them just doesnt seem to be the same. I've been told AK might make dry paints which actually work as intended. So I'm going to give them a go. But I think I'll stick with my view in the video, just buy paints which can be used for many things and give yourself options thanks for checking out my channel
No problem, I actually have two types of paint rack, so I'll give you links for both Paint racks - wall: amzn.to/3JKlptj Paint racks - tiered: amzn.to/4b2q7P1 And if you fancy taking a look round my painting setup I even made a video on that too ruclips.net/video/Rv1ZG_0wcPo/видео.html
I was introduced to tabletop gaming in 1993, but didn't get into it until 1997. Back in the day, drybrushing was used even by the Heavy Metal team! It's really sad that it is such an underappreciated painting technique. I mostly use drybrushing on bases and terrain, but at least three of my armies as well as all of my BFG fleets are painted almost entirely with drybrushing.
Just want to ask : if this metallic dry brush also work with larger piece without much small details? To be more precise, i want to work with the armor of the Legend BB Knight gundam
Yes, absolutely correct. For that blue, I didn’t thin it at all and used it just as it comes from the bottle. As with all contrast paints though, make sure to really shake them before use. Usually you’ll see on the bottle of the pot where a sediment can build up over time. I make sure to shake until all that is mixed back into the paint and there’s none left on the bottom 👍
Yes, you can paint anything over the top of drybrushing. If you mean, can you use other types of paint to achieve the tinting of pre-shading? Then the answer is still yes but they need to be transparent enough so that when you put them on you can still see the drybrush shading through them. So, you could use inks or washes for example. You can use normal acrylics too but they have to be very thinned and applied as glazes. Hope that helps
No, I don’t believe that is true. I’ve never had varnish affect my drybrushing. You’re applying the same paint whether it’s with normal application or drybrushing, how can using varnish know the difference? Now! I guess there could be some truth in this if you’re talking about weathering powders. But that’s not down to them being drybrushed on, that would simply be down to them being a powder. It is possible, that if you applied a varnish by brush over weathering powder you could end up brushing off the powder and thereby remove the effect. So, if you’re varnishing weathering powders either airbrush or spray can on the varnish. Other than that, no drybrushing isn’t removed by applying a varnish. I hope that helps
No, don’t add more water to your paint. Keep your bristles damp and don’t use an absorbent surface to load your brush. It’s likely your paint is having moisture sucked from it by your bristles being too dry.
Because the first section is just explaining what drybrushing is, and I then go on to explain why it’s better to use a texture palette. It’s all in the video 🙂
which is exactly what this video goes on to recommend. The first example was purely to set the scene of "what is drybrushing" The rest of the video then goes on to explain and demonstrate what to do to improve on this out dated method

Excellent video! This is getting saved to my playlist. Do you have a guide on using weathering powder? I’m wanting to incorporate that into my miniature painting.
Thank you
I don’t have a specific video on weathering powders
But I’ll send you a list of videos which I use it in to give you some tips 👍
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides that would be excellent!

These are some videos I use weathering powders in.
You’ll want to watch the last one especially as it has a REALLY important tip to help with blending and removing the powder 👍

Great vid❤❤❤
Thanks 🤛
Amazing video! Question regarding the texture palette: what do you do when you run out of “clean space”?
THat's the cool thing. The more you use it, the more texture you make. Just keep painting over the dry paint and if you like you can always prime over it again too
What is the name of the knight miniature you used, and what company makes it? Thanks!
The knight model is called The Steel Rook and was an event exclusive mini by GW.
They’re going for crazy money on eBay now unfortunately
Very cool mini.
It always seems so easy until I try it... we forge on and keep practicin!
Stick with it.
The main thing to concentrate on is to use very little pressure. Try and barely touch the surface with the brush. It is then easier to apply more pressure to increase the amount of paint applied to the surface. Far harder to take paint off.
As you say, keep practicing and if you have questions please ask 👍
I just wanna know what models you're painting there, that knight is so cool
The knight mini is The Steel Rook from GW. Unfortunately it’s an event exclusive mini, so not available anymore.
Hopefully it will get released in the future
Very nice video with lots of good tips. How can i paint a white metal armor? Drybrush silver over white paint, or paint white wash over silver?
These are some wonderful tips I never thought of and uses for dry brushing, thank you so much! I'm curious to see if any of these translate over for the Gundam models I typically build
@BrushstrokePaitingGuides Hay, you are great. I watched nearly all of you Vids. You inspirated me to painting my first 40KMinitures but one Question is there any tipps you can give (maybe in a Vid) what basic Colores i shoud get ? To start ? Colors you normaly ever use?
Hey, thank you
Really glad you’re enjoying my channel.
And so great you’re want to paint some miniatures.
In terms of what colours you should buy, I think it depends on what you’d like to paint first. Usually it’s best to get the basic colours of your first box of minis and then you can add different colours as you go.
So, what are you wanting to paint first?
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Im looking to paint the "Grey Knights" from the Space Marines, and the "Kill Team Blooded", thanks vor you quick Answer.
I have more of a question for the Citadel Dry paints, can you add water or medium and make them into a "normal" paint.
that's a very good question and something I have myself tried when I realised how poor they were. And, no, I've never been able to convert one back to a "normal" paint.
The chemistry of them just doesnt seem to be the same.
I've been told AK might make dry paints which actually work as intended. So I'm going to give them a go.
But I think I'll stick with my view in the video, just buy paints which can be used for many things and give yourself options
thanks for checking out my channel
Thank you;)
Can I ask where you got the paint holder, the acrylic one on the table.
No problem, I actually have two types of paint rack, so I'll give you links for both
Paint racks - wall: amzn.to/3JKlptj
Paint racks - tiered: amzn.to/4b2q7P1
And if you fancy taking a look round my painting setup I even made a video on that too
ruclips.net/video/Rv1ZG_0wcPo/видео.html
I was introduced to tabletop gaming in 1993, but didn't get into it until 1997. Back in the day, drybrushing was used even by the Heavy Metal team! It's really sad that it is such an underappreciated painting technique.
I mostly use drybrushing on bases and terrain, but at least three of my armies as well as all of my BFG fleets are painted almost entirely with drybrushing.
Holy moly, what mini is in the thunbnail? That looks so cool.
It’s called The Steel Rook and is a limited edition event GW mini
Just want to ask : if this metallic dry brush also work with larger piece without much small details?
To be more precise, i want to work with the armor of the Legend BB Knight gundam
yes, should work great
practice on a smaller piece to get a feel for it but I wouldnt expect any problems
I really like the storage containers of the paints, do you have a link to them by any chance?
I use two types of racks
Paint racks - wall: amzn.to/3JKlptj
Paint racks - tiered: amzn.to/4b2q7P1
Hope that helps
@BrushstrokePaintingGuides thanks a lot, great video btw :D
How about painting a cadian militar camo?
Feel kind of dumb for buying dry paints now. Will simply putting some moisture back in them with water or medium help?
At 28:36 you say you used the paint straight from the pot. Does that mean you didn't thin it down at all?
Yes, absolutely correct.
For that blue, I didn’t thin it at all and used it just as it comes from the bottle.
As with all contrast paints though, make sure to really shake them before use.
Usually you’ll see on the bottle of the pot where a sediment can build up over time. I make sure to shake until all that is mixed back into the paint and there’s none left on the bottom 👍
After the dry brush, can you use other form of paints besides just a contrast paint?
Yes, you can paint anything over the top of drybrushing.
If you mean, can you use other types of paint to achieve the tinting of pre-shading?
Then the answer is still yes but they need to be transparent enough so that when you put them on you can still see the drybrush shading through them.
So, you could use inks or washes for example.
You can use normal acrylics too but they have to be very thinned and applied as glazes.
Hope that helps
A very good post. Great figure.👍
Ive heard that using a varnish on a drybrushed mini can remove the effect is this myth or true?
No, I don’t believe that is true.
I’ve never had varnish affect my drybrushing.
You’re applying the same paint whether it’s with normal application or drybrushing, how can using varnish know the difference?
Now! I guess there could be some truth in this if you’re talking about weathering powders. But that’s not down to them being drybrushed on, that would simply be down to them being a powder.
It is possible, that if you applied a varnish by brush over weathering powder you could end up brushing off the powder and thereby remove the effect.
So, if you’re varnishing weathering powders either airbrush or spray can on the varnish.
Other than that, no drybrushing isn’t removed by applying a varnish.
I hope that helps
Raptors when? 👀
4:24 between the man who has thrown a knife 30 times and the man who has thrown a pebble 3,000 times, I fear the man with the pebble more.
When I try drybrushing, my paint dries within a few seconds. Should I dilute it with water??
No, don’t add more water to your paint.
Keep your bristles damp and don’t use an absorbent surface to load your brush.
It’s likely your paint is having moisture sucked from it by your bristles being too dry.
Why did you use a paper towel instead of the dry pallet you have?
Because the first section is just explaining what drybrushing is, and I then go on to explain why it’s better to use a texture palette. It’s all in the video 🙂
GW's dry brush line is bad.
Why citadel continues the line of dry paint range is mind boggling.
Dont use a paper towel man get a dry pallet or make yourself a texture pallet
which is exactly what this video goes on to recommend.
The first example was purely to set the scene of "what is drybrushing"
The rest of the video then goes on to explain and demonstrate what to do to improve on this out dated method
My bad man was watching it just first thing i know about drybrushing is to use a texture pallet @@BrushstrokePaintingGuides
You did a good job on the video i was only halfway through the video @@BrushstrokePaintingGuides
Subscribed.
I just bought a airbrush. It's useless now.
Thank you, welcome to my channel.
It’s great to have you aboard 👍
