Product overview

Abteilung 502 Basic Flesh Tone is an artist oil paint for figure and miniature painting, part of AK Interactive's ABT 502 oils. As a mid skin base it is made to suit most skin types and to be mixed with the other flesh tones in the range to build lighter or darker shades. Being an oil, it stays workable far longer than acrylic, so you can blend wet-on-wet and pull soft, luminous transitions across a face or muscle without hard edges. Abteilung's formula uses less oil than typical artist oils, which gives a more matte finish suited to scale figures. It thins and cleans with white spirit or an odourless oil thinner. Supplied in a 20 ml tube.

  • Artist oil paint in a 20 ml tube; colour name Basic Flesh Tone (code AKABT140, formerly ABT140 — same paint)
  • Contains pigments PW6 and PY1
  • Abteilung's reduced-oil formula gives a more matte finish than typical oils
  • Designed as a base for most skin tones; mixes with the other ABT flesh tones for lighter or darker variations
  • Long oil working time allows wet-on-wet blending and seamless tonal transitions on flesh

Notes · Q & A

What's the difference between a paint and a wash?

Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.

Can I use these paints in an airbrush?

Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.

Do I need a primer?

Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
