Combine base colors, washes and highlights from the set to reproduce the tones shown in the Masterclass and to achieve depth on faces, clothing and armor. Clean brushes and tools after use with water and appropriate brush soap to maintain paint performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test color combinations on spare plastic or a color card first, adjust dilution for fine detail work, and use layering and selective glazing to preserve sculpted details while achieving smooth transitions.
