Artis Opus - Dampening Pad (D) (Pot And 5 Pad Inserts)

Drybrushing is brilliant for texture right up until your brush clogs and the finish goes chalky. The Artis Opus Dampening Pad fixes exactly that: it lets you add just the right amount of moisture to the brush before, during and after drybrushing, so paint stays smooth and the bristles stay clean. It's a small tool that makes a noticeable difference to your results.
