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.

Best Uses & Tips
Use for highlighting raised edges, panel lines, rivets, or texture where you want contrast. Dry brushing gives a worn, weathered effect by leaving pigment mainly on raised parts.
Apply a small amount of paint to the brush, wipe off most of it on a paper towel, then lightly brush across surfaces. The S size is great when you want subtlest results without washing out fine detail.
Clean gently but well — synthetic fibres are resilient but maintaining their shape is key to long-term performance.
