How To Dry Brush Paint

I think of it as the lazy girls painting method, it's quick and easy 

You can whip out a stool like this in about 10 minutes and...

...Anything dry brushed sells great in my booth, it is a 
perfectly imperfect shabby finish that people love

I started with a very average stool.  Instead of sanding, I wipe it with a product called deglosser available in any paint department, it removes the shine and allows the paint to adhere

lightly dip the very tip of the paint bristles in paint then tap on a paper towel

Start by lightly brushing the furniture.... 

Then with more pressure, keep brushing until the brush is completely out of paint and repeat.  I dipped the brush 3 times to complete this piece of wood

I added a waterslide decal with a graphic from Graphics Fairy

Here is the dry brush method on a plate stand.....

This is a no fail paint method, when you are painting, you will think oh my gosh this is so ugly, but when you stand back, you'll get the whole picture!

And if you still don't like it, nothing lost, just paint like you usually do and consider the dry brushing a coat of primer

Happy Creating!
