The focus is all on the stuff that happens before cleaning (the painting :)).

So... Did you learn anything from this video? Let us know below! 👇👇

I think you deserve all the kudos! It is very rare these days to see a company design a quality product to last. Let alone then teaching you how to make it last longer!

[Themodelman]

Really great advice! I've been painting and making videos for a couple of years now and have never really delved into brush care, especially with dry brushes this video is super helpful!

[keithsoules]

My granddaughter and I are just starting our journey on painting miniatures. So we have been wading our way through all of the creators out there looking for someone that does a great job of teaching the basics. We cannot tell you how helpful this video was. Nobody has covered the foundation of dry brushing like you have. We are now subscribers and look forward to watching your other videos as we spend time together painting our minis. Thank you

[humanspida]

im really loving these videos... have recently decided to join the ranks of 40k folks and start painting minis... watching these videos, and many others, learning about brushes and paints and techniques and things before going out to buy stuff do do this with (as i had zero equipment or knowledge beforehand) has really been helpful in shaping my purchase selections in preparation for the journey without making the mistake of buying useless or crap stuff but also not breaking the bank unnecessarily

[kaikropp]

Really great! Just realised that i tend to load my drybrushes from the side and using toon much water to clean it or dampen it.... so, great, now I have to get rid of those bad habits!! Than you! ❤

[Wargoat]

I needed this info a long time ago. No one else talks about this.

[davemarsee]

I found your comment that “cleaning and dry brushing are just the same” to be so insightful! Blew my mind, honestly

[DMStraylight]

I know you've touched on this before, but it's great to have a dedicated video clearly explaining the what and why.

[sirjohn]

great video
i always thought about the drybrushes as just oversized normal brushes, but this just showed me that they should be used completely differently

[sebbie]

Wow. This video is so helpful. I have been cleaning my dry brushes like normal brushes in the past (and since restarting the hobby last year). I wish I could recommend a topic for a follow up video but this channel is already a go to for most of the techniques I want to learn. Thank you so much!

[markinyork]

One of the best technique explanations EVER for miniature painting. Clear, concise and explanations that make sense. Thanks, Byron

[jinxsD]

Id love to see a video to the each method of combining finished results to a coherent scheme, like varnishing alternatives if you use different styles like drybrushing / or things like contrast or speedpaints which have varying finishes etc!

[Nada-Mal]

I bought a set of your dry brushes about 18 months ago and have specifically avoided using then with metallics because I thought they'd be too harsh. After this video I will now try some dry brushing of metallics.

[Mr-Hare]

Simple and straightforward explanation. I’ve been holding off dry brushing with nice brushes because slapchopping has destroyed my brushes. Now I know what to change! Saving this video to go back to, thank you 😄

[TwistedNerves]

Brilliant brush care video, thanks! Any tips like these to help keep them soft and working well is really welcome, really loved seeing how you load the brush.

[thejonlucas]

This was really helpful, thank you. I've been doing it all wrong but luckily with cheap brushes. I feel far more confident now 😊

[jamesperrin]

Super video. These basics are worth repeating for those of us who haven't yet developed the "muscle memory" through the regular practice of the techniques.

[argy]

'have more paints than they use so we shouldn't be worried about wasting the ones we really like at all". Such wise words and I wish I had heard it earlier. I frequently "waste" paint on my wet pallette but always use a dimple pallette for drybrushing. Perhaps I need to embrace a flat plate more. Really useful vid.

[MrHrannsi]

I have been watching many painting and drybrushing videos, and this is the first one that mentions a dampening pad. Must make one ASAP, it is a easy DIY project.
