| Post subject: | Inks vs washes |
My Ogryn Flesh wash is finally expired. After 6 years of use I have to replace the bottle. I am considering replacing it with Coat D' Arms ink flesh wash. Though I am very familiar with Coat D Arms paints (and I love them!) I am not familiar with inks. Are you? What can you tell me about inks and how to use them? What I do know... -They are a pigment which yields a more intense color. -Something about water. Getting them wet after placing them can result in running. -Longer dry time. Great for blending, not for speed painting. Can you add anything to this? |

Inks are what we used before washes were invented. They are closer in consistency to water, highly pigmented and dry to a glossy finish. They need to be diluted quite a lot whatever the use. I have the inks from P3 and tend to use them for quite specific things. Metals - normal washes dry to a matte finish so inks can be quite useful to add colour or definition to metals whilst retaining the shine. Leather - I use brown and red inks to add a satin finish to leathers. Blood - again the glossiness makes them useful for blood effects. That's about it. If you want something to use as a wash on skin then get the appropriate wash from gw, vallejo or wait for army painter to make theirs available. |
