Tips for Using a Flat Weathering Brush

For drybrushing, apply a small amount of paint to the brush and remove most of it on a paper towel or suitable surface before lightly brushing across raised details. Gradually build the effect using multiple light passes rather than applying too much paint at once.

When working with dry pigments, begin with a small amount and gently build the desired weathering effect. Use separate brushes for different products when practical to reduce unwanted color mixing and contamination.

Clean the brush with a cleaner appropriate for the weathering product being used and allow it to dry thoroughly before storage.
