Product overview
Dark Wash is intended for miniatures built around deep colours and darker overall schemes, but it stops short of using pure black. It still provides high contrast, placing it between the pure-black tone of Black Wash and the more specialised roles of Brown or Dark Rust. This is the option for strong definition when a black wash would be a step too far.
- This is a general-use colour rather than a single named effect.
- Washing places concentrated colour into crevices, nooks and outlines.
- The product is supplied ready to use.
- A wash carries more concentrated paint than a filter.
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.
