Product overview
These Acrylic Washes are a range of eighteen shading washes, each an 18 ml bottle you choose from the dropdown. A wash is the quick way to bring out detail: the dark pigment flows into recesses and crevices as it goes on, dropping realistic shadow into every crease. Worked over any base colour, it gives deep, sharp definition, and with a matt finish and slow drying you have time to work the effect before it sets.
Odourless, for comfortable long painting sessions.
Made for brush application, which keeps the pigment flow controlled and lets you fix heavy build-up.
Spans browns, greys, greens, blues, purples, reds and rust tones, plus a verdigris for copper and bronze — used alone or freely combined for the contrast you want.
Apply, let dry, then paint your highlights over the top.

Notes · Q & A
What is a model wash and when would I use one?+
A wash is a very thin, highly pigmented acrylic fluid that flows into recessed detail by capillary action. Apply it over a sealed base coat to add shading around panel lines, rivets and surface texture, or use it as a full-surface filter to shift the overall tone of the model.
Do I need to seal the surface before applying a wash?+
A smooth, sealed surface gives the wash a consistent flow and makes cleanup easier. A coat of gloss or satin varnish before the wash prevents it from staining a matt base coat unevenly.
How do I apply a wash and clean up the excess?+
Load a soft brush and touch it to the area you want to shade; the wash will flow into the recesses on its own. After roughly 20 minutes of drying time, wipe away any unwanted residue from raised surfaces with a clean, slightly damp brush or cotton bud. These washes are water-based, so tools clean with water.
Can I apply a wash with an airbrush?+
Yes. The manufacturer confirms these washes can be applied by brush or airbrush. A light, even pass with an airbrush works well as an overall filter to unify the tone of a model or add a subtle colour shift across a large surface.
