The Citadel Medium Drybrush is designed for miniature painters who want to efficiently add highlights and texture to their models through drybrushing techniques. This brush excels at picking out raised details on bases and armor, though its stiff bristles are specifically optimized for textured applications rather than fine line work or blending. Featuring a durable synthetic and ox hair blend, it offers the consistency and shape retention required for professional-looking results on complex surfaces.

It is not recommended. The bristles are too stiff and the flat shape will leave visible streaks in a basecoat.
While it works with all acrylics, it is optimized for the Citadel Colour range, including their specific 'Dry' paint line.
Test the brush on a paper towel; if you can see a distinct, solid color line, you have too much paint. You want a faint, powdery dusting.
It uses a hybrid blend of synthetic fibers and natural ox hair to achieve the necessary stiffness.
With proper cleaning and care, this brush should last for several projects; replace it only when the tip stops maintaining its flat shape.
Ensure you are not pushing the bristles too hard against sharp model edges; use a light, flicking motion instead.
Clean the brush thoroughly to remove dried paint build-up at the base of the bristles and reshape while damp.
Increase the amount of paint wiped off on the paper towel; you should barely see any color transferred to your thumb.
To get the best results, ensure your paint is thinned slightly if necessary, but keep it largely un-thinned for traditional drybrushing. Use a clean paper towel to remove excess pigment before touching the brush to your model.
Care instructions are vital to extending the lifespan of the brush. Because drybrushing often involves working with paint that dries quickly, avoid getting paint up into the ferrule (the metal part holding the bristles), as this will cause the brush to splay and lose its shape. After each session, wash the brush thoroughly with lukewarm water and a gentle brush soap. Reshape the bristles with your fingers while they are damp and store the brush flat or hanging bristles-down to prevent moisture from damaging the wooden handle.
