Green Violet

Green Violet

An acrylic paint from the AMMO of Mig Jimenez brand, thinnable with water. It belongs to the range in which the manufacturer keeps the shades for painting figures: in it, it sits alongside flesh tones, uniform colors and shades for shading and lightening. The name Green Violet describes the shade as a green with a violet component, which is the kind of color used on figures rather for toning and for working with shadow than as a covering coat on its own over a large area.

How to work with the paint

• Shake the contents thoroughly before use, so the pigment is evenly dispersed.
• On figures, acrylics are applied in thin coats with a brush, by gradual layering from the base tone to the shadows and highlights.
• For an airbrush, thin the paint with water or an acrylic thinner as needed and try the ratio on a test piece.
• Degrease the surface and spray it with a primer; on smooth resin an acrylic otherwise holds badly.
• Do not thin the paint with lacquer or cellulose thinner, as that is a different chemistry.
• Wash the brushes with water right after work, while the paint has not yet dried.

Who it is for

For modelers who paint figures with a brush and are building their own palette of shades for shading and for modeling volume. It will also find a use on hardware, where muted shades like this suit filtering and adding a tint to green areas. Given the character of the shade, it is a supplementary color for a palette rather than a universal base.

Keep out of the reach of children. When spraying with an airbrush, work in a ventilated room and use respiratory protection. The details of the volume of the package are on the product packaging.
