How much paint is taken on the brush in the dry-brush technique?

Correct answer: Very little and relatively dry paint

The governing concept of dry-brush technique is limited moisture and a small paint load. The artist removes or avoids excess water and uses only a little relatively thick paint, allowing the bristles to catch the raised parts of the surface and create broken marks. Therefore, option C is correct. A large wet load produces a flowing wash, while water alone or an entire container is not a usable brush load.
