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.
