A firm, spread-out head that's built to hold almost no paint at all — exactly what you want for dragging colour across raised detail and leaving the recesses untouched.

Best for

• Drybrushing highlights over armour and fur
• Picking out raised detail and edges
• Quick, forgiving highlights on terrain and bases

Keep it for drybrushing alone if you can — a dedicated dry brush stays springy and spread for longer than one that's also doing normal painting duty.

Size small, synthetic bristle, sold as a single brush.
