Dry Brushes

Dry Brushes for Modellers & Wargamers

Our dry brushes are one of the fastest ways to bring out detail โ€” drybrushing highlights and texture onto raised edges, chainmail, fur, stonework, and battle-worn kit. The firm, shaped heads are built to take the punishment of dry-brush technique while depositing pigment exactly where you want it, for oils, acrylics and enamels.

Shapes for every texture

Different jobs call for different heads โ€” flat and oval shapes for broad surfaces, deerfoot and round profiles for stippling and irregular texture. See all paintbrushes ยป

Pair with detail brushes

Dry-brush the highlights, then finish the fine work with our gaming & micro detail brushes or natural Kolinsky sable rounds. Keep dry brushes separate from your detail sable โ€” the technique is hard on bristles by design.
