About this deal

Rob has used and cleaned all three, but they all look like new! It’s easy to see how well they have held up and how clean they still look. On top of that, they are still super soft and have maintained almost all the bristles.

Whilst the point of drybrushing is to wipe the paint off your brush before applying it to a model. The synthetic hairs of these brushes do not retain enough paint when dried to perform a good drybrush finish. They tend to leave the most inconsistent effect of all the options on the list. It’s a pity as the smaller of the two Wargamer brushes are an interesting shape which should allow you to apply drybrushing technique in smaller areas. Think, the more bristles that touch a surface the smoother your drybrush layer will be, and these bristles will protect each other from bending as you push the brush against the surface. The softer these bristles are the smoother it will be. But don’t go too soft as they will not be strong enough to actually push paint onto a mini. Something I remarked on while using these brushes was how well they held together. I noticed SIGNIFICANTLY less shedding than others brushes. I only noticed probably 4 or 5 hairs from each brush throughout my entire basing process. The Army Painter Masterclass Drybrush Set – Final Remarks PROS

The Setup:

And let’s not get started with their blatant “taking artists’ work without permission to promote their products”. But it’s still a better shape and bristle density than other above 3. The Army Painter Masterclass Drybrush We are going to show you how they paint, compare them to some other brush sets, the tutorials they have, and much more! That way you can decide if this set is worth your hard-earned hobby dollars. Let’s go! Here is the mini Rob is going to be working with. He already had the wash and base coat on, for both of which he used Army Painter paints. This was coincidental, but he prefers their metallics over almost any other companies’. So most of his metallics are done with their stuff anyways. He does love the super matte Scale 75 Metallics for some projects too though. And I know for a fact that Drybrushing (with the right dry brushes) is taking over from Airbrushing for the majority of people, because FauxHammer.com has the top article for both “Best Airbrushes” and “Best Drybrushes”. We used to see 500 daily views on the former of those two articles and only a couple of hundred on this one. That has all but flipped on it’s head now with far more people looking for better drybrushes than airbrushes!

However, this product now exists, and despite my own personal hangups about their creation, I can still be objective enough to give you my opinion on how they perform Nowadays, Drybrushing really has taken over, but to get the results you see above and below are easily achievable by just about anyone. So long as you follow some simple steps on dry brushing, you’ll be making incredible-looking miniatures and even armies in little to no time at all!!!

Painting With the Dry Brushes:

Well, like other companies they’ve taken the style popularised by Artis opus, but in this case, they completely missed the mark in regard to what those brushes do and how they do it. But at least these do offer a viable alternative for those wanting to avoid natural hair. Nobody made any advances in dry brushing for years, and then long after Artis Opus spent almost forever testing various types of brush and hair (I’ve seen their prototypes first-hand). TAP come out with incredibly similar brushes diameters an all) just several months later? The main disadvantage of the straight, flat brushes is the uneven application of paint, and the harsh lines left by the edge of the brush. I often complained about how difficult it was to get a natural gradient. One caveat, when using these brushes for straight edged buildings or terrains, it gives a crisp, saturated line. I spent the first year of my hobby experience using the Games Workshop flat dry brushes, and I thought they were great… until I learned about these bad boys. The less paint you have on the brush generally the better. Dip your brush in the metallic blend and pull the bristles in one direction across the mini in a big highlight. You don’t have to be too careful here either. If you hit another area, not really a big deal. Just a super simple technique that is already making the mini pop.

One last little tip, you can throw a penny in the corners of your wet palette to make it last longer. This acts as a Zinc anode and keeps your palette from getting gross, just replace the pennies when they get really bad looking. Painting With the Dry Brushes:

Meaning they are more likely to clump and streak, and won’t last as long. When you need to replace one of them, you can still only buy them as a set of 3. for a more consistent benchmark choice e.l.f is a commonly seen brand and the e.l.f Eye Conour Brush is a primarychoice. Though this one is only available in one size and personally, I don’t find it to be firm enough. For the first dry brush, he’s going to be using a gold/silver highlight. To get the mix ready, put Plate Mail Metal and Bright Gold onto your palette and mix them together. It will produce a super shiny gold color great for highlighting Custodes. If you have a ton to do as Rob does, you can also mix up a whole container of the stuff. He just did a super simple base coat of the cloth with Dragon Redto start with a regular brush. Then He moves to the smaller size of dry brush here and uses the same technique as before. He uses Pure Red this time and hits a light dry brush over the entire cloth. These brushes have so many uses and are great for anything that has raised edges and when you need to save time. Grab Your Masterclass: Drybrush Set Here!

I used to feel like this wass some kind of secret that only a few people knew. The main best type of drybrush is cheap make-up brushes. When I say cheap, I mean budget store cheap. You will typically find these in Pound, Dollar or Euro stores. For drybrushing, having the best drybrush really does make a considerable difference as shown below.These brushes are made of extra fine goat’s hair bristles. The natural hairs react well to acrylic paint, giving an even application. One thing I noticed was, and perhaps it’s because they were brand new or maybe it has something to do with the goat’s hair, but they DRANK the paint. I found I was returning to the paint quite often, more so than with other competitor’s brushes. Army Painter doesn’t have a brush cleaner and conditioner yet, but Rob LOVES the Jentastic Brush goop and uses it literally all the time. He conditions every brush he’s ever had and still has some of his first can left! These are a decent amount bigger than their normal set of brushes. These aren’t really made for targeting detailing per ce, more of overall use to hit the whole mini. Masterclass Drybrush Set Bristles & Brush Cleaning:
