drybrush

Strangely, except for a small drybrush by David Milne, there are no Canadian paintings.

To produce these effects, the animators used different techniques, such as drybrush, airbrush, charcoal, grease pencil, backlit animation or, during shooting, the cameraman used multiple exposures with diffusing screens, filters or gels.

He typically created dozens of studies on a subject in pencil or loosely brushed watercolor before executing a finished painting, either in watercolor, drybrush (a watercolor style in which the water is squeezed from the brush), or egg tempera.

At the other extreme from wet in wet techniques, Drybrush is the watercolor painting technique for precision and control, supremely exemplified in many botanical paintings and in the drybrush watercolors of Andrew Wyeth.

The works that caught the observer's eye are all on paper, namely the cubistic nude in sepia drybrush, by Norman Lewis; Jack Whitten's grid that is the sum of its glistening white compartments rather than its multicolored partitions, and one of Victor Davson's geometric abstractions in charcoal.
