Citadel Dry paints are a specialized range of thick, pigment-dense paints designed for the painting technique known as drybrushing. This is one of the simplest and fastest methods for achieving a highlighting effect and emphasizing the raised details on miniatures and models. Thanks to their unique, thick consistency, these paints are perfect for applying over an already painted surface, creating realistic highlights and enhancing the texture of armor, fur, stone, or terrain.

How to Paint with Citadel Dry Paints?

The drybrushing technique is incredibly simple, even for beginner modelers. Simply load a small amount of Citadel Dry paint onto a special drybrush (characterized by its stiff, flat bristles). Next, wipe the excess paint off the brush, for example on a paper towel, so that only a small amount of dry pigment remains. The final step is to gently and quickly sweep the brush across the painted surface. The paint will catch only on the raised elements, creating natural-looking tonal transitions and highlights.

Application and Compatibility

Citadel Dry paints work perfectly with other products from the Citadel Colour system. They are an ideal complement to Base paints and Layer paints, allowing you to achieve a comprehensive and multi-dimensional finish on your model. Using Dry paints as the final highlighting stage helps to bring out the final contrast and give the model life. For proper and effective painting with this technique, a suitable, durable brush that can withstand the intense friction against the model's surface is essential.
