It is not recommended. Drybrushing is very abrasive and will quickly damage the synthetic fibers of this layering brush.
The brush is designed for acrylics, but synthetic fibers are generally resistant to oils. However, you must use proper solvents for cleaning which may wear the brush faster.
Synthetic STC fibers are securely anchored, significantly reducing the likelihood of shedding compared to cheaper natural hair brushes.
Use this Medium brush for general tasks. If you are painting eyes or fine text, a smaller 'S' or 'XS' brush would be more appropriate.
While the bristles can handle it, enamels often require harsh thinners that can degrade the adhesive in the ferrule over time.
Wash the brush thoroughly with brush soap to remove hidden paint residue, then reshape and allow to dry completely.
Soak the brush in a dedicated brush cleaner or warm soapy water for 10 minutes, then gently comb the paint out.
To keep your brush in top condition, avoid dipping the brush into paint up to the ferrule (the metal part), as dried paint here will force the bristles apart and ruin the point. When using the brush, rinse it frequently in clean water to prevent paint from drying on the fibers.
After your painting session, wash the brush gently with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Reshape the bristles into a point while damp and store the brush vertically with the bristles facing upward, or horizontally. Do not leave the brush standing in your water cup, as this will permanently bend the bristles.
