dry brush
Minimal paint technique
Dry brush is a painting technique using minimal paint on a brush, creating textured, feathery strokes that let underlying layers show through.
The method works on canvas, paper, or walls, producing effects from subtle shading to dramatic texture: She used dry brush to suggest weathered wood grain.
As a verb, to dry brush is to apply this technique.
In skincare, dry brushing means stroking the body with a stiff-bristled brush before bathing to exfoliate and stimulate circulation.
