The brush used is an older Rico one, cheap and chearfull from the Hobby shop. I say old because it´s one that has lost the Point so gets downgraded from finer work to dry brushing..when it´s no good for that it goes to base painting, then for work on adding colour landscapes, then drybrushing landscapes (the bases) and finally the fire. I buy cheap brushes because I am "heavy" with them and wear them out quickly so expensive ones (especially named ones) using virgin squirrel or unicorn hair or whatever would be a waste of Money. <br />For really fine (and I only do this if I have time or really like a sculpt) I use old make up brushes but only for the final one or two drybrush´s. <br />I mostly buy only Rico 1´s and 4´s..as Long as the brush holds a fine Point...I wet them in my mouth then check the Point with a small pocket magnifier check because some are really bad at Holding a Point...even expensive "named" ones Paul´s Bodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698894821198907112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-14067284343348560202017-12-04T04:33:31.208-08:002017-12-04T04:33:31.208-08:00Fantastic workFantastic workAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190258354857460493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-10668346973002870682017-12-03T14:17:03.682-08:002017-12-03T14:17:03.682-08:00I didn't imagine that your technique was the d...I didn't imagine that your technique was the drybrush, it works perfectly!

Then a drybrush with chocolate Brown, a dry brush with half chocolate brown mixed with sand Brown..last a very light drybrush with 70-30% sand/chocolate. That´s if I´ve remembered all the stages correctly. <br />I´ve painted two more with a similar finish and I´m trying a couple of bays now.
