Dry Brushing On Lo's

[VAL DER RE]

I have seen some lovely layouts in the gallery that feature dry brushing on to white card. Can anyone give me some hints/tips on doing this, as I really fancy having a go.

Thanks

Just a quick *bump* as I am really interested in this as well

I quite often use a paint dabber to do this. I just drab the head of the dabber across the page without squeezing any paint out. HTH :) Squeeze if you want more paint to be visible.

You can also do it with a paintbrush. Put some paint on and wipe most of it off before using it.

This is what I did on this layout: http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=139625&ppuser=17765

Using a dry brush is a really easy thing to do.
Just as the name suggests, you need a REALLY dry brush (after you have dipped it into paint). I use a 1/2 inch flat,nylon brush and acrylic paint.

After dipping your brush into paint use a bit of scrap card or kitchen roll and work your brush into it quite hard until it seems like there is no paint left on the bristles, then go for it!!! You will be suprised how much paint there actually is still left on the brush when you are working on Bazzill. Try using a cross-hatch effect and work from the inside out (i:e from under a photo or where a piece of PP will go).

Remember, you can always add more paint to achieve your desired effect but taking it away if there is too much is alot harder.

Have fun! :)

ETA- If you are not confident about applying paint directly to paper, you could paint on a printer transparency and add when dry like an overlay :)

You also have the most beautiful gallery on UKS :wub: and lots of your LO's are in my favourites! :lol:
