Happy equinox everyone! Yesterday was the first day of autumn over here and first day of spring for those of you who live on the other side of the world. And as if the skyes themselves knew it, the temperature suddenly dropped ten degrees…

I am preparing a video tutorial as well as a PDF version but while I am working on that (oh the joy brought by hours of editing miles of footage), here is a short technique video about adding texture with a dry brush. As you know I am more of a wet-in-wet kind of person, but sometimes the beautiful softness of wet washes is not enough to show the crispiness or roughness of some subjects.
Here is the video tutorial:
