Celtic Horses

To dry brush, I wet my brush, then wipe the excess water off. Then I dip the brush into the paint and wipe the excess paint off. Then I brush a piece of newspaper until there is barely any paint on the brush. Only then do I touch the brush to the leather. If this is done correctly, the paint will only hit the high points of the leather. It's very easy to get too much paint. The little beveller I use is Tandy's B935. That size comes in checkered, too, it you prefer that look.

Many thanks for that, Understand better now, will have to have a go at some point to see what it looks like close up. B935 - Great, I bought the B936 as my supplier didn't have B935 in stock. Wasn't sure if they were any smaller ones or if I was on the right track.

B936 is the same size as B935. One is checkered, the other is not. So if you are using checkered bevellers, B936 is the one to go with. I like smooth and can't seem to get out of the habit of using them.

I initially ordered a B935 from my supplier but they didn't have it in stock at the time, so got the B936 to try. I like it, but I think I might prefer the smooth one. I'll put it on my next order and hope they have it in stock. I was just initially wondering if that was the smallest one available. Still learning...
