IONIC DRYBRUSH Pale Grey

What the paint is for

The paints of the IONIC DRYBRUSH range are prepared for work with a dry brush. The principle is that only a minimum of paint is left on the brush and the rest is wiped off; a light pass then leaves paint on the edges, rivets, seams and other raised places alone, while the recesses stay dark. That gives the model depth within a few minutes and without laborious shading shade by shade.

The Pale Grey Shade

Light gray is the most universal tone you can buy for dry-brushing. It does not glare as much as pure white, so the highlight reads more naturally and gets along with practically any base color. It is used on the edges of gray and blue-gray finishes, on concrete and stone surfaces, on worn wood and anywhere the transition is meant to be subtle. It also serves well as a middle step between the base color and a final white light. Compare the exact shade against the manufacturer's color chart.

How Dry-Brushing Works

Use a flat brush with stiffer bristles, pick up a small amount of paint and wipe almost all of it off on a paper towel. The brush must leave only a barely visible mark. Then run quick light strokes across the edges, with no pressure. Build the layers up gradually, because surplus paint can only be removed by painting over it. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging for the thinner, brush cleaning and the drying time.
