🧽 Artis Opus Dampening Pad (Series D) – Pot with 5 Pads

Powdery drybrush results or brushes drying out too fast? The Artis Opus Dampening Pad (D) revolutionizes your technique with a professional dry brushing system that's smoother, cleaner, and more controlled. Includes a handy storage pot and 5 reusable pads, perfect for improving your finishes effortlessly.

🎯 What is it and why do you need it?

The Dampening Pad is a moistening pad that regulates brush humidity in dry brush techniques. With just a light touch, the bristles absorb just the right amount of moisture to:

• 💧 Avoid the chalky effect typical of traditional drybrushing

• 🖌️ Soften strokes and achieve cleaner transitions

• 🎨 Keep the paint active on the brush for longer

• 🔧 Extend the lifespan of your brushes (especially Series D)

It works like a wet palette, but for dry brushing. Perfect for those looking for professional finishes without the hassle.

🛠️ How to use it – Step by step

1. Lightly dampen the pad (not soaked)

2. Load your brush with paint as usual

3. Remove excess paint on paper

4. Give a few gentle taps on the Dampening Pad

5. Apply the dry brush to the miniature: you'll notice the difference 😎

✅ You can also use it during your session to refresh the brush and prevent dry paint buildup.

🧪 Compatible with:

• 🔹 Artis Opus Series D brushes

• 🔹 Other dry brush bristles

• 🔹 Acrylic paints: Vallejo, Citadel, Army Painter, AK...

• 🔹 Mixed techniques such as stippling, dry layering and textures

♻️ Reusable, clean and sustainable

• 🪣 1 storage pot with lid

• 🧽 5 high-density pad inserts

Each pad can be washed and reused dozens of times. Simply rinse under water after each session and leave to air dry.

💡 Mr Resin tip: if you use dark or heavily pigmented tones, keep a dedicated pad to avoid colour transfer. Also ideal for taking to workshops or group sessions.
