By the end, I'm pretty sure your hand was painted to a higher standard than lots of my models 😉
That one of my most recent models, actually, he needs some work 😅😥
I've used drybrushing with a glaze or wash on IPMS and MFCA competition award-winning miniatures and 15 - 54mm wargaming miniatures since the 1970's and I must say, you have done an outstanding job teaching people this often overlooked and disregarded technique of painting in what is the best instructional video to date on the subject! Well done.
I totally agree! I think drybrushing has a super bad reputation in modern times, because there are a lot of fancier paints and methods out there now and drybrushing can look cheap/bad very quickly.
So its nice that some high level/well known folks out there give this veteran technique some respect!
That blue turned out sweeet. Perhaps a drybrushing video in the future covering dark/black steel for the Slaves to Darkness?
This sounds like a very good idea! Plus we looove metallics
You make it look so, so easy. Makes me think I could paint like that. 🤣
You might surprise yourself! Give it a go :)
Yeah, drybrushing is really simple. I used his power sword tutorial and it came out great on first try. The only troublesome part is having/mixing all the appropriate shades of color needed for the nice gradient
That's my only resistance at this point, stocking up paints. Being new to the hobby I have a few paints for Star Wars Legion. I then quickly and heavily--perhaps too heavily--shifted to contrast paints.
I think im gunna treat myself to some of your brushes once i get back to work after christmas they look amazing and give great result from what i see
Hey buddy, sounds like a good way to start the year! I'd recommend the Series D 5 set (to get the XL, it's an incredible brush), let us know in another comment if you have any issues, or questions :).
Note: Not a reply to this, UA-cam isn't great for notifications!
You have really opened me up to how a seemingly clumsy or broad technique can actually be quite technical and precise. Love it.
Thanks man! Similar was good enough for classic-painters for 4000 years, and they did alright :D
Your painting style is not only incredible but it looks so easy to do.
The secret it... it is! Just need to hold a few principles in mind, and you can surprise yourself :) Thanks, buddy.
Thanks for explaining and showing us this technique!
My pleasure, my dude, keep up the good work!
I’m glad people liked my suggestion, best of luck with the cats everyone!
Hey in contact via instagram DM buddy, we'll sort you out with your prize, for your cat to sit on, do doubt ;)
In-Depth dry brushing is always a pleasure to watch. It is so nonchalant 👍have fun with marie-kondoing your work area :)
My god, I could do with her help! :D
Thanks man, plenty more due in the future
Lovely in depth content, please keep em coming
Thanks, buddy, we are dropping an hour long tutorial soon, we ain't stoppin' 😅
If you have any questions please let us know, and we'll take all suggestions on board for future content! The most liked suggestion will win a set of our drybrushes, and a texture palette!

Does that mean I won? Was it all the people mentioned that won, or just Myrmidon?
Wow, I’m so excited! Also very glad people found my suggestion useful. How do I get in contact?
@@myrmidon1370 congratulations! Do you know what set you'll pick?
The vid was so good and going over every phase of the job and how and when to do the steps, hopefully father christmas will leave me some series d brushes under the tree this year :)🎅🎅🎅🎅
Thanks, buddy, it's what we were aiming for with this one :).
We hope so, too! Nothing like a bit of new gear to start the year off strong, best of luck with it
My kind of video, my kind of painting!…..wonderful to see it turn into a work of art….fast becoming my favourite YT painting channel…
a little part two of your lord of change video o: really curious how you would do the rest of the model, mine is intimidating me in my box still haha!
Amazing video, and love the depth and transition achieved with the blue through this technique.
I have taken to using flow improver over water for extending the life of the paint on the dry brush via dampening, and gives a really smooth finish as well.
Ooooo, sir, is this a thing?
Thank you, will experiment! (What improver?)
I use Vallejo myself. I found it kept the paint alive on the brush much longer, and also helped to get most of the paint out of the brush too. Cheers though, I came back to painting after 30 years after watching your vids, awesome stuff you do 😊
thank you
it is incredible👍
Thanks for watching, buddy, our pleasure! Plenty more where that came from, too :)
Hey I have an video short idea for you Byron, the brush cleaning segment from like 11:30-12:10 the part about not dipping drybrushes in water was new for me.
This is on the agenda for 2023! Thank you, we'll do a specific tutorial on it :)
Nice Orwellian quote.
Bit off topic, but I’m getting a set of your brushes for Christmas. Just wanted to throw out some appreciation for the content that you create and that it’s inspired me to up my painting game. Keep up the good work!
Yes, Callum! Hobby Christmas awaits :). Our pleasure, my dude, they'll serve you well, let us know if you have any questions or queries (not as a reply, YT is bad for notifications!).
This video is so cool! Great Job 👍
Thanks, buddy! We'll make plenty more!
Stippling tutorial sounds awesome!
New IG Walker? :)
@@ArtisOpus I am currently getting into Slaves to Darkness, so if there was a way to make all their black armour more interesting through stippling, I'd love to see that.
I should be able to adapt it for my purposes even if you did that walker though. 😉
I really want to know an indepth look at how to wet your dry brush, how wet, and when. This is the thing that's frightening.
We will 100% do this!
Thank you so much for all your help! I didn’t know that I could just use the dampening pad to clean the brush at least between sessions. I need a direct line to you and your fountain of knowledge. I am actually applying all this information to 1/12 scaled figures. I am customizing Mythic Legions figures.
A quick vid on stipple transitions would be cool
Noted, we will a mini!
Can you do a video on Byron's model prep techniques? Feel like we see scattered stuff on the time pressure army series, but given how important the prep is with drybrushing and washes, think this would be a handy supplement.
This is a great suggestion, it's very important given how we paint, nowhere to hide!
Very good video, thanks. Please do a similar video with metallics, gold, silver, etc.
Well... I did literally paint this piece again with metallics, and record it, so I'm sure that could be arranged.
Serious 😧 moments when you open GW paint pots with one hand while hovering over your almost painted staff near the end of the video. Balls of steel. 🤣🤣🤣
We live dangerously over here, dude, welcome! :D
I won a dry brush set at an event in Holmfirth this year. Best painted army. I must admit they are excellent.
Congratulations, buddy! Always happy to hear about people putting them to use :)
Beautiful result Byron! I am glad that I am not the only one pulling paint from models with my finger :D
My biggest problem is the ratio of paint and moisture on my (dry)brush.....if you would do a tutorial specifically about "brush moisturizing" it would be very useful. Thanks!
Yeah, how many times should we lick on 'em? 😉
Absolutely, we'll cover this in the new year for sure!
Drybrushing really is the answer to all questions!
I have a different question - what kind of display cabinet is that behind you Byron? Looks fantastic and I'd love to get my hands on it. Thanks!
Hey buddy, it seems to be!
They're actually ours :) check out the campaign here, you can late-pledge if you're interested, they are incredible, never been so pleased with my minis!
www.kickstarter.com/projects/artis-opus/cabinets
Love the results you always get and make it look so easy! Was wondering if you ever tried the Dio Ammo drybrush paints, and if not, that we can request you to try and review them? Seem like paints designed to get smoother results with drybrushing.
I’m interested in this too. I recently got a few of these and after using them i started wondering if they might be a more ‘chalky’ paint than others
Good question, historically I haven't been impressed with drbrush paints, apart from using them for the final, edging steps they just haven't felt cooperative, I will have to give them a go.
Bad ass!! and danget now I wanna see it in metallic lol 😂
:D it didn't come out too bad, I should upload a pic if I can find one :)
Byron, you are a master! So, I went back to see your Grey Knights video. I guess my question is how you would apply the metallics technique in that video using the blues in this video? Since this is all drybrush and some contrast at the end, where would I apply the silver metallic?
Great work! One can never go wrong with Smurf blue!
Would've been interesting to see it in metallic blue tbh.
I'll make sure to put some pics of the metallic one up :) I did both in the end! People voted this as their fav (70%, not our normal 49/51!)
@@ArtisOpus YeY!!!
Loved this, I got a set of Series D for my birthday back in February and I'm looking forward to trying them out. Do you have any tutorials/tips for drybrushing flesh? I'm trying to paint the Goblin King from MESBG and have had trouble with chalky finish.
Hi, really cool video. I've been lookin at a few of your videos and I'm sold. Picking up my brushes on friday :) I have a few questions though.When you base paint and drybrush smaller details like the eagle and bolter on a marine, how would you go about it. In most videos ive seen you seem to do them of screen for the most part. Also will you be doing any tau models?
Hey buddy, it depends on my method for the model in question, often I'll just basecoat them manually, wash them, drybrush them, then paint the gun around them.
If they are gold and the gun is silver, I drybrush the entire thing, then wash them yellow (sneaky :)).
Hope that helps, have you tested your brushes out? Let us know in another comment, UA-cam is awful for notifications!
Weird question: can I dry brush a glaze? Say I mix up a a nice transparent glaze but only want to lightly filter the highest raised areas would this be something I could do with series D, or would sticking to a M or S be better? I've considered testing this on my own, but figured you'd be the person to ask before I waste some paint, lol.
Bought my series D when you first launched them and still love them.
Good question buddy, I have applied them with drybrushes, but as all over ones, if you do try it, please let me know how it goes, I'm interested to hear!
@@ArtisOpus absolutely, will do!
Brilliant. What about adding a bit of iridescent medium for the last drybrush stage?
Thanks, buddy! This is a very interesting idea, hadn't considered it at all, but for a LOC it's really well suited.
Love this video! You mentioned doing metallic…how would that have changed your color palette? What metallic paint would you have used and in what order?
Hey dude, I actually did paint one :D
It's very similar to my grey knight steel from our video on the channel:
Black + Huldra Blue + VGA Silver
Remove the black
Remove the blue
Wash with blue shade selectively
Repeat pure silver
:)
Hello Artis Opus, thanks a lot for this really valuable video, I always loved the dry brush paint system for highlighting, then adding a wash in order to subdue the produced harsh effect sometimes but your style of dry brushing is really stunning and efficient.
By the way, where can I find the display cases which show behind you in the background, which brand are they ? I am searching from months to exactly find those type of display cases...
Hey buddy :). It's our pleasure!
We designed them, to be perfect for miniatures, you can still late-pledge for them on Kickstarter! :
www.kickstarter.com/projects/artis-opus/cabinets
@@ArtisOpus Many thanks Artis Opus
Our pleasure buddy! Any questions just let us know in a new comment on a recent video, replies are easily missed :)
I will eventually find the courage to paint my Magnus and your videos constantly give me hope that I can achieve a semi decent result!
Would it be possible to get a demo for drybrushing an Eldar tank or something similar? I feel like achieving a clean blend on the more curved/ elegant surface would be more challenging to get to grips with than the space marine razorbacks I’ve been practising (poorly) on. Being able to watch along is a great help!
Cheers for your videos!
Absolutely, dude. It's time we tackled some again!
Great video! When you line the 5 Color’s or so on the pallet, are they thinned with water / thinner or straight from the paint bottles ?
Undiluted my man, they evaporate faster if they're thinned, so it gives you more working time :)
(the 'thinning' comes via the dampening pad, that's where we bring the moisture in)
Hello Byron, how would you dry brush a "round" red vehicle, going from dark red on the botton to white/yellow, like an ork aircraft, but bright red? :) And the same in Russian Green? It's winter, I can't use an airbrush inside and I love what we can achieve with D-Series.
I mean, like your Eldar ship, but brighter red (koz red goes faster!)
I would approach it similarly, but just jump straight into the brighter/lighter reds in the first few steps, it would work a treat :)
@@ArtisOpus Thanks, I will try it on a future model.
Do you prime your dry palette before using it the first time, or do you use the MDF straight?
How different would the quality be if done only in greyscale and glazed after? I have a decent beginner colour variation but definitely not that many
Byron, you mentioned you don’t dip your brush in your paint water unless you do a thorough clean. What do you mean by that?
Hey buddy, the don't dip, or the thorough clean? Let me know in another comment, not a reply, they get lost :)
Hello! I finally have my series D and am about to dry brush some Orky muscles!
One question: how do I keep my paint wet while not using a wet palette? Dry hot weather today. And if I don’t have a textured palette can I use normal art paper to wipe off the excess?
Cheers!
Great dude, thanks for the support, hope you like it! 😀
Definitely don't use art paper or anything absorbent, that's why I prime mine. Absorbent stuff will dry your paint even further. # 1 tip is to get a cheap usb air humidifier for your painting area you wouldn't believe the difference it makes. Let us know how it goes!
@@ArtisOpus Ok so I think I was drying the paint out way too much. Got very (dunno the word) craggy I guess? Like on the model the paint was very textured. So because it’s hot here I’m in air conditioning which makes the room very dry as well! I think I will invest in a humidifier for sure. Plus I did use the paper to wipe the paint off lol!
Still. I did really enjoy the overall idea of using the dry brush. I can see it being something I will use a lot. Need to experiment with keeping the paint still moist and just keep at it!
Hello, nice video as always
How do you clean these brushes?
Hey buddy, we basically cleaned as we went, cleaning a drybrush and using a drybrush are the same, using our method, check out this timestamp, and let us know in another comment if you have any questions :) ua-cam.com/video/qHtJYXoufrk/v-deo.html
I am really considering picking up some series D, these drybrushing videos have really been amazing! Question though, is it safe to drybrush metallics with these brushes? I avoid putting metallics in my sable brushes, not sure if my same rules apply for dry brushes.
Hey buddy :). Absolutely, especially following our method, we don't saturate the brush with water so we never start that journey from tip to ferrule for the pigments, and the regular use of the dampening pad means we spend half our time cleaning/using the brush simultaneously.
We have a lot of metallic videos on the channel, you could always have a single XL or L for heavy first stages (if you see brushes with a black dot on the back of the handle on videos this is my Metallic ones).
I hope that helps, if you have any further questions let me know in a separate comment, not a reply. YT is awful for notifications
Do you think this technique would be good with oil paints? Use an ultramarine blue oil with a titanium white over brush?
In theory the stippling part of the technique would work perfectly, you'll have to report back about the soft end-steps, though, I'd be interested to hear!
What's the name of the sponge/cleaner pot... thingy? I'm trying to find one online but I don't know what to search for 😂
Hey, buddy :). It's the Dampening Pad, it comes as part of our drybrush sets:

@@ArtisOpus Ah thank you so much! Appreciate it (and appreciate all the videos more :)
I’m 7 months late but where did you get you display shelves from?
We actually designed and built them ourselves :) you can late-pledge here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/artis-opus/cabinets
Very nice, I'd be interested to see how you finish it without destroying the hard work that you've just done. I had my fingers crossed that our teams would clash at brotherhood, alas it wasn't to be maybe next time ;)
In terms of videos, I'm most interested in approaches to entire armies...so how do you pick a scheme/style that would transition from something as simple as a Saurus Warrior all the way up to Lord Kroak, it's always my biggest challenge as usually what drives me back into "paint by layers" as I know I can always rely on it regardless of the model complexity however it is very time consuming and my Skaven collection has only just hit 50% painted after the covid lockdown...yikes!
What colours would you have used if you went the metallic route instead?
Hey buddy, Vallejo game air silver + the darker ones from this, maybe a tad of black, I'd add them to it at the early stages, and reduce the amount as we went to highlights :)
I'll share a pic of the result soon!
What’re you painting on? Looks convenient.
still can't get the feel how moist it must be that drybrush would leave no streak and no texture.
One drop of water, from the back of your brush, work it in with a finger :)
It should leave a *slight* mark on your texture palette primed that evaporates quickly if you wipe it on it.
@@ArtisOpus thank you!
Ok new question -- any reason I shouldn't use a Series D (or any drybrush) to prime a mini?
I use my older brushes for basecoats constantly, working on the new Demon Prince, he took 10minutes to basecoat in a custom purple.
If you're going heavy it might be worth 'retiring' and XL and using it exclusively for it.
how do you actually clean the artis opus dry brushes? Because of those small hairs I really dunno how to get them clean thus I haven't bought one yet :D
We do it as we go in this one, cleaning your drybrush and using your drybrush are the same thing, both ways you add a little moisture (water from sponge), and use texture (can be mini, or our texture-palette) to remove paint, if you add a little soap it just speeds things up :)
How do you clean up your pad/palette?
Good question! Two ways, depending:
1.) Quick wipe down with a damp cloth (that isn't one that leaves fluff behind)
2.) Between projects, or a before a new one - prime and start again, I like the fresh start, black is relaxing on the eyes, and it lets me test coverage :)
Any suggestions for an AoS box set that contains a good range of models to practice dry brushing on? I want something I can dedicate to practice and can strip or put to the side if it goes wrong.
Hey buddy, what size/price? You mean battleforce sized? Give me a few more details, I can definitely sort you out
@@ArtisOpus Something like the Daemons Of Khorne Bloodletters box. 10'ish models, £20-30'ish. A box that I can build, prime, and then have 3-4 models sat on my desk to try different things on in a session. The kids will probably nick a couple as well so instant wastage.
@@DigininjaRobin What about Sylvaneth? They are mostly raised edges, perfect for drybrushing!
@@DiceyEncounters the Sylvaneth Dryads box looks like it could be quite good. I'll wait to see if there are any other suggestions then take a trip to the shop to have a look in the flesh.
Heading to the shop tomorrow, any suggestions other than the Sylvaneth Dryads?
Is it possible to drybrush miniatures with lots of spikes?
i love my brushs BUT my extra small brush has turned to shit and ive only used it like 3 times, the bristles became very pointed, the oposite of what ive ever seen xD normaly your brushs turn into like snarled zombie hands, anycase since its so pointed and so small its unusable :/
Hey buddy, sorry to hear it! The XS is *so* much smaller than the rest, it's generally reserved for delicate applications, the more hairs the more resilient (it's why I always lean toward bigger brushes).
Rather than having to justify going up, and using a larger brush it's best to start big, and justify going down (access is my normal reason, XL can't drybrush between legs, for example).
ciao la base dove metti i colori, che materiale è?
Hi buddy :) it's this, but primed chaos black: store.artis-opus.com/products/xxl-texture-palette-a3-brand-new-product-design
How would you do this in metallic?
Byron I’ve got a quick question. I think you mentioned that dry brushing doesn’t work as well with super matte paints. Can you elaborate more on that? I’ve never heard that mentioned before. Thanks.
Hey buddy, it's not something that a lot of people realise! Basically they sponge and absorb and pull the 'wet bit' (medium) from your paint, makes the drybrushing look old fashioned and gritty.
You can make it work, you just have to go slower, more carefully, etc. A quick wash over things can fix this, if you have a colour you have to use, but want to adapt.
Ok. Thank You
I notice sometimes you go into the paint and then you only wipe the brush a few times before going to the model, how does it not streak when you do that? I don't get it... :S
I don't take loads on the brush man, it's all about not putting too much on, so you don't have to take too much off :)
Also how do you use this with slapchop?
Hey buddy, is this a suggestion or a question (or both?).
We have a HUGE slapchop tutorial/almost seminar dropping soon, it's very in depth :)
My guy what are those display shelves behind you?
My dude, they are our cabinets! :D Check the campaign out here, they are the bee's knees!

@@ArtisOpus my brother I’m sold. You guys are doing great work
Thanks for the video.
This question may have been covered in a previous video but in case it hasn't:
- Mixing paints is great for single models but for a more "batch" approach, any suggestions for similar effect with no mixing?
Hey bud, you can absolutely do this without mixing, you just use more paints :).
If you can't find a specific paint between two you need, mix up your own bottle, well worth it, especially on an army level!

Hey Byron, restating my question as a comment and not a reply as requested 😊 what dod you mean by not dipping your brush in water?
No worries man.
I just don't saturate my drybrushes, it's what begins the migration of pigment toward the ferrule, mine don't get soaked ever, unless it's a 'deep clean' which happens about every 6-12 months.
3 drops in the dampening pad is fine for me, easily enough to lubricate removal of pigment, using the texture palette, especially with some soap on there.
Do you have to prime your texture palate?
I'd suggest it! You want it to be non-absorbent, and also as close a testing-ground to your minis as possible, so mine's primed chaos black, which is my preferred primer, this also lets me test coverage.
It's all about testing, learning, and screwing up on the palette, instead of the mini :)
@@ArtisOpus copy. Thanks! Can’t wait to get started.
What painting mat is that?
Hey buddy, it's one I designed :)
store.artis-opus.com/products/xxl-texture-palette-a3-brand-new-product-design
Do you have a favorite "bright white" for dry brushing with? I normally use a white ink for those highlights but I'm guessing that doesn't work so well with dry brushing
Hey David, this is a great question, and not an easy one!
Easy answer: all whites lean toward chalky, so hold these in mind:
Matte: more chalky
Less white: less chalky (e.g. using ivory/off whites/bones)
With that in mind, I use a dot of the ultra strong Bold Titanium White from monument very often, or Vallejo Ivory, etc.
elementgames.co.uk/paints-hobby-and-scenery-by-manufacturer/monument-hobbies/pro-acryl-paints/pro-acryl-bold-titanium-white
Here's BTW :)
The Vallejo Model Color gloss white is really nice and doesn't produce as much texture
A little “hack” put a little gloss medium/varnish with your white and it minimizes the chalkiness in white and white leaning paints. Also I second Byron’s recommendation for monument hobbies bold titanium white.
How would u do it in metallic? Paint wise?
I did it :). Vallejo game air silver, adding black and the dark blues from this to the early stages, worked out pretty well!
I will get a picture shared tomorrow of both, so you can see.
@@ArtisOpus awesome sounds good can't wait to see it.
do you have a video for beginning drybrushing?

Antoine is correct, this leaving him free to prime his kittykat palette in whatever way he wishes :)
I am using the XXL: store.artis-opus.com/collections/series-d-drybrushing

Any more questions, just let us know in another comment. UA-cam is bad for reply notifications:)
Your fingers after the shading are too rough for the drybrush. You risk reactivation, so a better way would be to use a lighter shade colour and just leave it on the details. If you don't want the raised areas to be hit, use a shade, not contrast. The shade will flow off the details, whereas contrast will stain it.
Hey buddy, I didn't remove the drybrush, because with skin contact you can perfectly judge what's going on, and with some medium in there it's basically a shade, I get where you're coming from, though.
There's very little difference between some of the shades and contrasts these days, it's a bit confusing actually, skeleton horde behaves exactly like a shade, I feel maybe they have backed themselves into a corner, calling everything a contrast, to encourage people to use them.
Drybrushing and overbrushing / buffing has always been one of the most flexible and effective method of painting models, miniatures, sculptures, etc. It just acquired a bad reputation sometime in the last decade. IMO, due to some very simplistic tutorials that treated it as a "dirty hack" - a cheap way of simulating a model painted in the supposedly proper way. These poor tutorials usually get awful results (messy, scratchy paint flecks everywhere) because they use brushes that aren't a good shape for dry brushing, or don't dampen the brushes correctly. (Taking the term "dry" too literally.)
In reality there are a lot of cases where people have made things needlessly more difficult by not using these techniques. These ARE the "proper" methods!
Shouldn't this be called "moistbrushing"?
Yes, but then no one would know what we're talking about 😅. The name is here to stay, appropriate or not 😁

Your black 'work mat', what is the material it its made of ?
Hey buddy, it's ours, high quality MDF, but it's been primed and used a lot, so it's now 60% paint :)

@@ArtisOpus That's crazy. I thought it was some kind of weird rubber/leather experiment gone wrong!
