 Date:  Apr 26, 2008

Drybrushing

I am still an advocate for using washes and drybrushing. I know the latest trend is to use pre-shading but I like to stick to this old method. I used Winsor/Newton lamp black for my wash on this project. The idea of using a wash is to darken or enhance the shadow parts of the model. Models are seen in 1:1 scale light. Much like actors on a stage wear make-up to help the audience to see the actor's faces behind the bright stage lights, washes and drybrushing are the same concept for scale models in 1:1 scale light.

Over the years I have come to like using artist's oil paints for my initial drybrushing. It helps soften the edges of any washes and blends easily. This first picture shows Liquin, lamp black, Winsor blue, Cremnitz white and Manganese blue hue to match the Tamiya XF-18 medium blue color used to paint the tank. Liquin is a paint medium that helps the paint flow and speed up slightly the drying time.
