In Paintings of natural world and rocks, I use the same technique of doing the under painting first, then applying color in a mottled way with a dry brush for the rock texture.

The strokes in the upper left corner depicting the good tree branches are also done with a dry-brush.
This is a detail technique, when you do not draw on much water on the brush, but apply the color with a brush that is not dripping wet.

You have quite a bit of manage with this method, but it should be used for textures and detail. You cannot paint a sky with a dry brush lacking it taking a week!
