The Dry Brush family includes brushes designed for the dry brushing technique and is identified by a glossy black stripe on the end of the handle.
AK Dry Brush brushes are made with top-quality bristles that provide great durability. They have a rounded tip specially designed to get the most out of the dry brushing technique. Since this is an aggressive technique, the bristles need to be durable, easy to clean, and able to retain their shape.
The rounded concentration of bristles allows for paint accumulation and effective rubbing on the surface.
