The Citadel Synthetic Small Drybrush is an essential tool for hobbyists and miniature painters who need to add precise definition to complex model surfaces. Designed specifically to excel at reaching into nooks, crannies, and ridges, this brush helps painters achieve a 'Parade Ready' finish on intricate details with minimal effort. While its high-quality synthetic bristles offer excellent durability and shape retention, users should note that as a drybrush, it is optimized for specific highlighting techniques rather than base coating or layering.

While technically possible, it is not recommended. The bristles are stiff and shaped for drybrushing; a standard Base Brush will provide much better coverage.
STC stands for Synthetic Texture Collection, referring to the high-quality synthetic fibers used to ensure durability and shape retention.
Yes, it is compatible with most water-based acrylic hobby paints, though it is specifically tested with the Citadel Colour range.
Test the brush on a paper towel. If it leaves a faint, dusty residue rather than a solid wet streak, it is ready for drybrushing.
No, this brush is designed for depositing dry pigment on raised areas. For layering and glazing, use a standard round or detail brush.
Ensure you are not pressing too hard during the drybrushing motion. Clean with mild soap and reshape while damp.
You are likely using too much paint. Remove more paint onto a paper towel until the brush feels almost dry before touching the model.
Use a dedicated brush cleaner or warm water with a gentle soap. Avoid hot water, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
To get the most out of your brush, always ensure your paint is properly thinned for drybrushing—most of the pigment should be removed on a paper towel before contact with the model.
Compatibility: This brush works best with Citadel Colour paints but is compatible with most acrylic hobby paints. Avoid using enamels or heavy oils, as these can degrade the synthetic fibers over time.
