The perfect collection for creating highlights, shadows, and monochromatic masterpieces. Essential for every serious miniature painter and artist.
The AK Interactive Black & White Set (AKAD101) provides artists and miniature painters with a carefully curated selection of six essential colors for creating stunning highlights and shadows. This professional-grade set is the foundation of any serious painter's toolkit.
Each of these six colors has been specifically chosen to work harmoniously together, allowing for perfect tonal transitions through various mixes. Beyond simple black and white, this collection includes sophisticated earth tones that create more natural, visually interesting highlights and shadows than could be achieved with simple greyscale.
This comprehensive set contains the perfect balance of pure tones and earth colors to create realistic lighting effects, natural shadows, and sophisticated highlights.
This set is perfect for creating value studies - the art of painting using only lights and darks to establish form. Use White and Off White for highlights, Sienna and Yellow Ochre for mid-tones, and Burnt Umber and Pure Black for shadows. This classic technique helps develop a strong understanding of light and form.
Use Pure Black as a base coat, then apply progressively lighter colors (Burnt Umber, then Sienna, then Yellow Ochre) from a 45° angle, and finally White/Off White directly from above. This technique creates a dramatic lighting effect that establishes natural volume and makes details pop.
For more natural shadows, avoid using pure black directly. Instead, mix Burnt Umber with a touch of Pure Black to create deep, rich shadows with depth and character. Use Sienna for mid-shadows and Yellow Ochre for subtle transitions. This creates more realistic-looking shadows than using gray or black alone.
Create visual interest by using temperature contrast in your highlights and shadows. Use the cool Off White for highlights on warm areas (painted with Yellow Ochre or Sienna) and use warm Yellow Ochre mixed with White for highlights on cooler areas. This temperature contrast adds sophistication to your monochromatic painting.
Create realistic highlights and shadows on skin, clothing, and equipment with subtle tonal variations.
Establish consistent lighting across complex scenes with perfect atmospheric perspective.
Perfect for value studies, grisaille underpainting, and dramatic monochromatic compositions.
Quickly establish volume and details on gaming miniatures with efficient highlighting techniques.
The earth tones (Yellow Ochre, Sienna, and Burnt Umber) provide warmer, more natural transitions than simple grays. Mixing these colors creates more visually interesting and realistic shadows and highlights than using just black and white alone, giving your monochromatic paintings depth and character.
These dense acrylic paints are excellent for dry brushing techniques. The high pigment load ensures good color transfer even with minimal paint on the brush. For best results, use a flat brush with White or Off White on raised details after applying your base colors.
Absolutely! While these paints excel for miniatures, they're equally suitable for traditional canvas painting, especially for creating value studies, grisaille underpainting, or dramatic monochromatic compositions. Their high pigment concentration and matte finish work beautifully on various surfaces.
The AK Interactive Black & White Set (AKAD101) provides everything you need to create dramatic lighting effects, subtle tonal transitions, and professional monochromatic paintings. Elevate your miniatures and artwork with this essential collection.
