THIS will change EVERYTHING you knew about DRYBRUSHES

[@Eteric]

You should try this with makeup sponges. There are people who paint whole Gundam kits with them. Gives them a fairly airbrushed look.

[@ShuishuoKa]

Thank you my lady,this is what I want to learn for a long time!❤

[@gekzify]

Very much a ‘trust the process’ approach, it all comes together at the end. Definitely a great way to paint big vehicles

[@mn01_]

Isn’t this just stippling? It looks great but I don’t see the distinction from a technique perspective

[@jackrusso4700]

No you’re right this is just stippling. I had a feeling something was wrong when she claimed a random brand was the brand to start making dry brush brushes. “There were no dry brush…brushes” yes there were lmao

[@dangerpowers5939]

Yeah lol. Also the clickbaity title ​@@jackrusso4700

[@ataraxiapainting]

Yes it’s absolutely stippling with dry brush and glazing stippling with a dry brush, I just call them tapping motions instead of stippling, same same. The interesting thing was the different dilution of the paint, how much you wick off etc.

[@mn01_]

@ got it, that makes sense. Thanks!

[@hmmm348]

Would this work well using foam/sponge instead of a brush? Gentler on the paint?

[@mf2943]

Ive been doing something similar to this from a Trovarion video where he painted some Ultramarines with stippling, using sponge or brush. Its a pretty awesome way to paint stuff up quickly without worrying too much about perfect blends. They look pretty awesome battle scarred and beaten.

[@alexanderdiogenes8067]

Yeah, then you can just do a super thin tint/glaze with the midtone and it smooths it all right out even more, if you don't want the real beaten method.

[@MultiZegamer]

After Zumikito’s glaze drawing, we have Ataraxia’s glaze dry brushing. U guys have always the silliest but also most amazing techniques that level up our painting game. Thanks a lot Ataraxia!

[@NemFX]

Just wait until you see MY paintballing technique. It combines the compressed air approach of the airbrush, with the time tested approach of spilling paint everywhere. BUT FASTER.

[@knobjob2839]

As far as a teaching channel goes, this is very very good. You translate concepts into language well, and cover common mistakes etc.

[@philurbaniak1811]

👍👍 great technique and it scales really well, from big brush on a big area to small brush on a small area!

[@MountainKing88771]

I recently started doing this for my army painting. I didn't like how flat my armor panels were with just edge highlights. Stippling with a big round brush shadow to highlight colors gives the armor depth, but without taking nearly as long to do glazes. It doesn't look as amazing as having smooth blends and glazes, but man it is way faster when i have several dozen models needing to be painted.

[@mbritton23]

You mean thanks to Rosemary & Co, who made them first, and make Artis Opus brushes. Much cheaper too I might add.

[@ataraxiapainting]

I heard about that, never tried them tho so i could only speak for the more general experience

[@SharkKnight24]

Thank Jesus that I got recomended this! Going to attempt painting a Carchacodon Marine. And this is actually helpful 😊😊

[@ataraxiapainting]

I did light a candle at church yesterday so it must be Jesus ehehehehh

[@SharkKnight24]

@ataraxiapainting yes. Hope to learn more. And Jesus Bless

[@MrKaftpaket]

This looks insanely good, I'm gonna try this tomorrow! Thanks for sharing :D

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Yes, "unevenness" is a word, not to worry! This is a really cool little technique I'll have to file away for future use and reference, for sure.

[@koz1138]

Next dred/tank I paint I am definitely trying this method. Feels like that moment in The Social Network when Justin Timberlake tells them to expand to Stanford: Byron needs to see this.

[@marcoooo7324]

Glad to see that this technique is gaining traction. Byron from Artis Opus has been doing this for a while and it's one of my favorite techniques.

[@Saatan1234]

She is really just copying him to push her paid services/products...

[@ataraxiapainting]

Actually I never saw him do it, moist dry brush, yes, this thing here, nope! Point to the video, I’d be curious to see it. Ps saaatna fine, you got me but I’m telling my mum you being mean :(

love the mix of yellow to the green to build contrast.

Little spoiler, the secret of this scheme isn’t the yellow but the blue shadows 🤫

[@escherleduc9567]

Amazing results.

Fantastic work 😊😊

Love it. Thank you I love this 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@evantumminello3283]

Great video. I'm happy to see I already do four of these for my training. I'm glad you address that training knowledge changes over time. Would you have any suggestions for wrist prefab exercises?

[@nutellanorbert2799]

EVERYTHING has changed now!!!!1!!

[@ataraxiapainting]

I knew ittt!2!!!2! Hihihi

[@tailowther8003]

This is great, I’ve been sticking to the heavy metal style of just edge highlighting but want to try something new, what paints did you use for the green?

[@Zaknafeein]

Great tutorial) My wife have a desire to make some video about her paintings, can you share what king of camera do you use to capture you work ?

[@Guncraft]

This looks fantastic, but how would you do it on the armour of small models like tau fire warriors or iron warrior marines?

[@Ranger2KEOD]

Dry brush stippling? Bulk stippling? Hmmm... Interesting, as in other comments, I can see how this would be handy for large models.👍

[@Sprite8822]

The model looks great! Awesome finish on him. Do you varnish your models after painting? I have heard that some people do. What is the benefit?

[@thanasisgeronimos9124]

you would suggest this technique for display or for large army painting ?? because this seems slooooooow

[@ataraxiapainting]

Once you get the hang of it, it’s actually pretty fast! I painted 2 dreddy in no time and you can scale it to display adding chipping or extra refinement

[@louisp7985]

hahaha nice thumbnail!

Subbed. I’m trying this next. Thanks

Thanks for the sub!

[@schaaf9637]

just found your video, subscribed to the channel, great stuff

[@ataraxiapainting]

Awesome, thank you!

[@knobjob2839]

You're painting is good too

[@rottendeadite]

This is great, but I swear my paint dries within seconds of application. Are you running a humidifier or something to keep this stuff wet once it's on the model?

[@ataraxiapainting]

Uhm now it’s coldish here in Italy, but even in the summer when it’s really dry you should have that little window of time. It’s small, but it’s gonna depend on the paint you use, weather, and of course dilution!

[@SavageBruski]

I dunno how else to say this, but you have fuckin' good tutorials. Go you!

[@joseluisnd75]

A very interesting and useful video. Thanks for teaching. One thing I haven't tried is to paint big models. This solution can be very good for walkers and other stuff. Just a question, is possible to combine it with the airbrush use?

[@ataraxiapainting]

I think you could, if you go with a grey scale and then tint with the airbrush! I think it should work and allow you to maintain the texture!

[@joseluisnd75]

@@ataraxiapainting Thanks for the tip. I hope to try it soon.

[@butlertron520]

What program did you use to map your highlights? Not very tech savy

[@ataraxiapainting]

Just my silly farty brain ahah

Might have been photoshop, but you can use most paint programs, I use opencanvas

This is either the wettest dry brushing I've ever seen.... or this is stippling.

You're badass!!! Please enable donations for us to contribute!

[@michaelshort1411]

She talks to much and far to in depth I feel like Im in Techniques of Painting 101 in college again. As a long time painter myself use whatever rounded brush you like best either a large brush for large areas and a smaller brush for small or tight areas to brush. And for godsake people use a lamp to help give you, your darks and highlights. Where ever the bright areas are is where you want to paint, drybrush or stipple paint your lighter color of paint and dark areas or shadows where you want to paint your darker colors. This technique of painting is not all that hard lets not make it harder than it needs to be. KISS (keep it simple stupid) as we would say in art school.

[@ttzombie]

I likee

[@MagkeitoMaten]

Spoiler: the key is a sponge

[@pete104242]

but dont forget to buy a wet palette and expensive (although good) drbrush as well. this is not the entry to good dry brushing

[@hmmm348]

What about using this technique but using sponge/foam instead of a drybrush? Would that be gentler on the paint do you think?

[@ataraxiapainting]

Thanks for the spoiler :( ahah but no, no need for expensive palettes or brushes. I did the bigger work with ak brushes (5€). With the sponge it would be similar, but different also. It doesn’t have bristles so you can’t get the stippled look, plus the liquid absorption might be harder to control imho

[@hmmm348]

@@ataraxiapainting Ah ok. Thank you for the feedback!

[@cwj138]

Seems like a "trust the process" thing but the process has no redbull so i don't.

[@bossbullyboy195]

This is what happens when you don't dry brush with a dry brush... If you get your brush wet with water, then dry brush, you get a glaze type of effect
