Find out what your drybrush is going to do before it touches the miniature.

Every painter has chalked up a finished model with an overloaded drybrush. This palette is a 4 inch test tile built from the surfaces you actually drybrush: flagstone, cobblestone, wood planks, diamond plate, hex grate and riveted panels, depending on the version. Load the brush, work the excess off on the flat wipe rim, then take one pass over the matching texture. If the stone comes up chalky or the wood grain floods, you found out here and not on your paladin’s cloak or the front wall of a building you spent an evening on.

A Calibration Strip for Your Brush: One quadrant on every version is a ridge strip with four bands of raised lines, 1.5mm, 1.0mm, 0.6mm and 0.3mm wide, marked with four, three, two and one dots. A properly unloaded brush catches only the tops of the ridges. If paint is landing in the grooves of the one-dot band, there is still too much on the bristles. It is the fastest way to break in a new brush, test a new paint, or check your load mid-session without guessing.

Suggested Use: Keep one at the paint station and run every new drybrush recipe across it first, especially before you commit a stone or wood recipe to a whole terrain piece.

Pair it with our Dual Force Paint Brush Set and you have the brushes and the place to test them.
