Step 9Dry Brushing
This step is what takes the most practice.
You will need a stiff brush and several shades of the colors you want to use.
Starting with the ground, a nice dark brown. To dry brush you need to get some paint on your brush but not a lot. Stiff bristles work best since they don't bend over onto the work. Put some paint on the brush then wipe it across some scrap cardboard or similar. This will leave enough paint on the brush to just get the upper surfaces of the base. Now before it dries go over the base with light strokes, I like to go in circles. Keep doing this till you have most of the black covered, just showing in the deepest areas. Repeat with a dark gray on the rocks.
Now onto the lighter color, do the same as before but with a lighter touch so you can still see the black and the first color.
Last coat is white, this is a very light touch just hitting the highest points on the rocks and ground.
