Drybrush
is also an excellent rendering technique for gouache. Become
familiar with the amounts of paint and water needed on the brush.
Begin with watered down pigment. After filling the brush with
paint, remove the water by brushing across a dry paper towel.
A quick stroke across a test sheet before introduction into
the illustration is a good
precaution. The application of drybrush ranges from lightly
feathering to outright scrubbing of the brush into the picture
surface. Here, as with the other techniques described, experimentation
is the key to understanding the medium.
