Use a flat-bristled paintbrush and acrylic paint to dry brush paint a DIY Stained Wood Plank Sign. To achieve the dry brush look, lightly dip your paintbrush into the paint and lightly swipe the paintbrush over the wood surface without adding more paint to the brush. Repeat this process until there is no more paint on the brush. Having the wood show through the paint is the look you're going for here.
