Dry brushing over white

I have used both black, to highlight dirt and grime, and a very light wash of red to simulate hydraulic fluid.  Seems like some always gots through seals after awhile.

Thanks.  I’m pretty happy with the current results.  As my first model in decades I’m acquiring skills for future builds.  I know it’s easy to get carried away with some of these techniques.  My first attempt at dry brushing turned out so great on some of the cockpit parts I thought I would ask the question.  

It’s so easy to get overwhelmed with all the tutorials and videos.  I’m figuring out what works best for me and will expand on different methods as my experience grows.

Again thanks for the feedback 

Hello!

My first take after a dark wash, would probaly be... white! this way you can show some clean spots on a dirty wheel bay. Some silver might wor, too. But I'm not too sure if you need that dry brushing. A nice dark wash is usually enough. Look at wht you have - if you think it looks right don't do anything more to it just because someone wrote something in an article...

Here's my 1/72 whale gear door - I addes some detail there, then painted it white and made a wash. I didn't feel like doing anything more...

Good luck with your builds and have a nice day

Too late to do it now, but instead of doing the wheel wells in a stark white do them in an off white instead.   Go with a very very light gray then apply the wash.  Go back with the bright white dry brush.   

Remember with dry brushing, less is more
