Great link, Bill! ARC to the rescue, again.

A couple of comments to the article:

Many people use worn out or cheap brushes for dry brushing—it's hard on the brushes. But it is much easier to learn the technique with a good quality, new brush as recommended.

Some find paper towels or thin, uncoated cardboard better for removing the paint from the brush.

Thanks, will try that when I get home.

WOW you guys at this forum are amazing. You know where all kinds of articles are for helping with our hobby. Thanks for sharing.

If nobody minds me thowing in my

I found it easiest to drybrush using a somewhat stiff bristle brush.
Also I hold the brush close to parallel to the item I'm painting... well ok, maybe a 20º to 30º angle. And with just a very slight amount of paint left in the bristle's after wiping on a paper towel, I ever so lightly just skim across the top (raised details) of the item I'm working on. Sometimes I have to go over it a few times because my touch was too light. But it's easier to add paint then to remove it.

Oh yeah, an important note - practice, practice, practice.
