What describes the dry brush technique?

The dry brush technique involves using a brush that is loaded with very little paint, typically on a dry surface. This allows for the creation of textured strokes, as the bristles of the brush only apply paint to the raised areas of the canvas or paper. This technique can yield a variety of effects, often resulting in a softer, more textured appearance that highlights the underlying surface.

Artists often use the dry brush technique to add details, highlight areas, or create a sense of depth in their work. This method is particularly effective in capturing light and giving a more dynamic quality to the artwork.
