IONIC DRYBRUSH Brown Oxide

What the paint is intended for

Drybrushing is a technique in which only a negligible amount of paint stays on the brush and everything else is wiped off. A light stroke then colors edges and raised places only, while the hollows stay dark, and the surface thereby gains depth. The paints of the IONIC DRYBRUSH range are prepared for this way of application and are used on vehicles, figures and scenery.

The shade Brown Oxide

Oxide brown is a dark brown tone tending toward red, the kind corrosion has once it has aged and darkened. In building a model it forms the base, lower layer of rust, over which the lighter and more saturated orange tones of fresh corrosion are only then added. It comes into its own on running gear, exhausts, on the bottoms of tanks and drums, on old sheet metal roofs and on agricultural and industrial machinery. Besides rust it suits brick, soil with a high iron content and the dark brown leather accessories of figures. Compare the exact shade with the manufacturer's color chart.

How drybrushing is done

Pick a small amount of paint up on a flat brush with firmer hair and wipe almost all of it off on a paper towel. Then pass it over edges and projections with quick, light strokes, without pressure. With dark tones there is the advantage that they can be built up more freely than light ones, because they do not glare, yet the rule still holds that a little several times beats a lot once. Deal with the thinner, the cleaning of the brush and the drying time according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
