BRUSHES

In general, flat brushes are preferable for most weathering tasks, with both stiff and soft bristles being useful for work with paints and powders. Keep plenty of brushes to hand as weathering can be damaging to bristles, and more delicate work may need a brush that’s in good order. Expo Tools offers a range of angled flat brushes designed specifically to aid dry-brushing and these are highly recommended. Fine, round brushes are also needed for detail work. A couple of large, ultra-soft brushes are also handy, kept solely for cleaning away dust and debris and never used for paints or pigments. Recommended brands: Lifecolor, Humbrol, Expo Tools
