A drybrush texture palette is essential because it ensures control and precision in the dry brushing process, a technique widely used to highlight raised areas on miniatures. Dry-brushing requires removing almost all the acrylic paints from the paintbrush before application, which can be difficult to gauge without a proper surface. The textured design allows painters to distribute color evenly and test the brush before touching the model, preventing overapplication and helping achieve crisp, clean highlights that bring out surface details beautifully.
