HOW TO DRY BRUSH LIKE A PRO

[@Xenodragon11]

You're awesome! Worked like a charm on my faux fur, looked just like realistic airbrushed details.

[@OriginallyWorn]

That’s awesome! And thanks so much ❤️

[@denelljacobus3324]

Oh my gosh I’m so glad I found your channel at the beginning of my home makeover! Great teaching technique!

[@OriginallyWorn]

Thank you so much!! ❤️

[@brennalyke26]

Youre awesome!! Your videos are so full of excellent information and you are so comfortable (or appear to be) in front of your camera that I dont get distracted in unnecessary discomfort! You are a natural leader and instructor who happens to be extremely talented with paint! Thank you so much and look forward to watching all of your full detail videos.

[@OriginallyWorn]

Thank you so much! Honestly I hated doing them at first and got terrified during speech in college. The difference is now I have no idea what I am going to say before the moment it comes out of my mouth, so there is no stress in remembering 😂 and thank you for your kind words of encouragement, it truly means a lot!

[@OriginallyWorn]

Glad to help! You can also use a round natural bristle brush too for an easier all over look :)

[@dadjuli]

Great technique & tips thanks Looks really good

[@OriginallyWorn]

Thank you!!

[@BellaNovaStudios]

Amazing job. I like the way you explained exactly how to make it look naturally distressed by doing highest edges and points first.

[@OriginallyWorn]

Thank you so very much ❤️❤️❤️

[@phildarcy7647]

Thanks for the tutorial going to give it a go 😁

[@OriginallyWorn]

You got this! Biggest thing to remember is use less paint than you think you need ;)

[@OrionAmastacia]

Thanks tor this, I discovered this method by accident after running out of paint and didn’t even know it was a thing . When we muvef into out house with VERY tall wall that were painted baby💩 mustard, gag, Tepainting seemed overwhelning so I dry brushed iver it with gold . Now I want the gold lighter so Im going over it again. I cant believe how little paint it took, thanks fir sharing. I want to do my crown molding and mitchen cupboards. Slready did my tall book cases and it was fadt easy and they look amazing.

[@OriginallyWorn]

Very. Nicely explained. Thank you so much. 👍❤️

[@OriginallyWorn]

Thank you!

[@melodystevechandra2529]

This is an awesome video. Thank you! My question is, would this kind of apply if you were trying to give you an antique type look on a canvas?

[@OriginallyWorn]

Thank you! I would imagine that the technique would be very similar.

[@VardaaanKøhli]

that looks so great

[@OriginallyWorn]

Thank you!

[@susancrowe3999]

@ 1:40 :"to goob a big chunk of paint on there" LOL!

[@OriginallyWorn]

Next Level Carpentry we have technical terms around here 😂😂😂🤷‍♀️

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

@@OriginallyWorn I know, right?! 🤣🤣

[@QCDoggies]

thanks for the kind words!! :)

[@WhosMaii]

Needed help with painting my battle axe Thanks :D

[@OriginallyWorn]

Glad to help! Thanks!

[@OriginallyWorn]

Glad to help! Thanks!

[@NEANEA72]

Thank you so much!!! Now I understand

[@OriginallyWorn]

So happy I could help! As the years have went on since this video I have found it also works great with a round paint brush too (like the Annie Sloan ones) goal is just small amounts of paint and high areas 😘

[@emmyblue30]

Thank you so much!! I had a big glob of paint the first time I tried to do this...just day before yesterday. Lol. You explain this so perfectly!! 🤗🤗 🎨 🖌

[@OriginallyWorn]

Emily Mc hey! Thank you!! So glad this helped you out!

[@geoseward]

I am doing a fairly large Halloween prop of which I intend on utilizing the dry brush technique to highlight the raised surfaces. My question is on the raised surfaces should I utilize mainly horizontal brush strokes in order not to get the prop looking as thou it was painted.

[@OriginallyWorn]

George Seward hey! The best way to get the effect I believe you are looking for is to use a round natural bristle brush. (I love Annie Sloan’s) using that brush but the technique in this video will really give an all over haze without a distinct direction.

[@geoseward]

@@OriginallyWorn thanks so much

[@OriginallyWorn]

George Seward you are very welcome :)

[@linbron2018]

Well done, like that u mention the other 2 colors that was on there.

[@OriginallyWorn]

Thank you

[@1962Aero]

Hi. I have some white fencing that I'm going to put around the perimeter of my yard for Halloween and want to make it look weathered. Could I use this technique with a darker color, maybe grey? Would the dark on light look as good? Thanks!

[@OriginallyWorn]

1962Aero hey! Oh yes, you can totally do this!! And you could do it in layers of colors to really make it look old.

[@1962Aero]

@@OriginallyWorn Thanks. What colors do you suggest? My Halloween displays usually consist of pumpkins, ghosts and skeletons, a graveyard. Spooky but not scary.

[@OriginallyWorn]

1962Aero oh your white fence, I would suggest grey, black & maybe a bit of olive green :)

[@verlamcdonald7659]

Is your shop in Macon open for customers to shop or is everything purchased online? I recently moved to Quincy, IL from New England and love the Annie Sloan paints!

[@OriginallyWorn]

Verla McDonald hey! Welcome to the area! I am open Tuesdays from 4-7 or by appointment :)

[@mcm3georgia]

when you say it had a color wash, what is that? I've got a cabinet piece that doesn't have a lot of detail that I would like to make it look distressed. This technique seems to be the answer but I have no experience so I'm a little lost with terms. I have a dark grey that I'd plan to apply first then top with a lighter grey. Is this the path I should proceed with? Also should I use chalk paint or flat paint?

[@OriginallyWorn]

cindy majewski hey! It looks like you found the color wash video so I will skip that part :) but that sounds like a good path and I use Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

[@RimRunnerClub]

Can you do this technique on wood that has clear wax?

[@OriginallyWorn]

You bet! my favorite is to take raw pine wood, dark wax it, then dry brush with old white. (When doing that combo I do like to give the dark wax a day or two to cure up)

[@kelly4178]

I have a problem at times getting too much paint but will try to stick to this method. All of the videos I watch have light color paint dry brushing over darker paint. Does the opposite work or is it better to use the wax for such cases?

[@OriginallyWorn]

Kelly Neubecker Hopefully this helps! And you can totally do it with a darker color over a lighter color, looks different than wax. And I have done it countless times. :)

[@dorothybahmuller44]

Do you have to brush in the same direction?

[@OriginallyWorn]

no, you can if you want but you don't have to. Small amount of paint is the biggest issue to remember

[@amulz789]

What is he difference with dry brushing and white wax

[@OriginallyWorn]

amulz miller Dry brushing gives distinct lines, whereas white wax would give like a haze or a wash of white all over

[@lizlovescalifornia1]

I’ve made some boo boos. How would I fix them? You can see where I put my brush down. From far away, you can see spots. Dark dry brush over it?

[@OriginallyWorn]

Hey! Exactly what you said! 👏👏 just dry brush over the mistake area with the under color

[@tackyman2011]

I dig your shirt-apron. I assume you made it?

[@OriginallyWorn]

tackyman2011 thank you so much! I did not but a great shop in Jefferson City MO did Called SouthBank Gift Company. It is made out of an old mans shirt.

[@aleximalmgren5301]

I started this at a Scifi art class . To paint things to look metal .

[@OriginallyWorn]

Cool, you certainly could achieve that! 😘

[@SB-kz7bq]

Tu ne fais plus de video??

[@OriginallyWorn]

I don't as much as I used to because I became so busy running my store. I always think this week will be the week I get one done and then the week slips by.
