THE BEST 120 COLORS FOR FIGURES

The Best 120 Colors for Figures by AK interactive

The Best 120 Colors for Figures is an extensive set of acrylic modeling paints that AK interactive put together for painters of figures and busts. It is a purchase of a different kind from a single bottle: you are getting a whole working palette at once, one that will see you through a series of figures without having to buy the missing tones after every project.

Why a ready-made palette pays off for a figure painter

Painting a figure rests on smooth transitions. Along with one base tone you also need its lightened and darkened neighbors, otherwise the transition breaks and a face or a piece of cloth reads as hard. A ready-made palette does away with this problem: you have the neighboring tones at hand from the start, you do not have to mix them again each time and, above all, you can repeat them in a month's time when you come back to an unfinished figure.

What the set suits

• Painting historical figures and busts in larger scales.
• Work with skin tones, textiles, leather and the metal detail of equipment.
• Building shadows and highlights by layering instead of mixing a shade at every session.
• Equipping a workshop for a longer period, when you paint figures regularly.
• A gift for a modeler who devotes himself to painting figures consistently.

Who it is for

For advanced figure painters and for modelers who are taking up figures in earnest and want a coherent palette from the start instead of randomly assembled bottles. The particular make-up of the palette is given by the manufacturer on the packaging; always stir the paints thoroughly before use, so that the tone is the same throughout the work.

Store the paints carefully closed and out of the reach of children, and ventilate during long sessions in the workshop.
