Dry brushing is a common painting technique where the artist uses a dry brush to apply a very small amount of paint over the top of an existing layer of paint, allowing what’s underneath to show through.
This technique is used in oil painting, acrylic painting and watercolor.
The effect can create depth, add highlights, and give texture into many types of paintings including portraits, landscapes, and abstract works.

ARTIST | WRITER
Modern life with its social, political, and cultural debates leaves us all raw, triggered, and anxious. We are bombarded by rhetoric that is carefully chosen to obscure truth and advance agendas. I see art as a universal language that can transcend that which twists us into parrots of this rhetoric. Living with art you love and seeing through an artist’s eyes can help us see these superficial debates for what they are and get us in touch with what really matters.
