IONIC DRYBRUSH Bright Green

What the paint is for

This shade from the DRYBRUSH range is prepared for the dry-brushing technique, that is for picking out edges, protrusions and raised relief. With it the paint catches on the raised places alone, so the surface gains a lighter outline and the model looks deeper. It is laid down as a finishing step on a finished coat that has dried.

The Bright Green Shade

Bright Green is a clear, lively green. It is used above all as a lightening over a darker green base, where white or beige would look cold and neutral. It comes into its own on green fabrics and items of equipment, on leaves and moss in the scene of a diorama, on the green parts of fantasy figures and also anywhere a surface is meant to gain a strong color accent, for instance on science-fiction machinery or instrument features.

How to work with a dry brush

Pick up a small amount of paint on a stiffer flat brush and wipe almost all of it off on a paper towel. Then pass lightly over the surface, so that the paint catches on the edges alone. Work in layers and pass over several times rather than once, because you can add at any time while surplus is hard to get rid of. Stir the pot before work. For this technique you usually do not have to thin it; if you do need a thinner, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
