Paint Set - Dipping collection 02: dipping inks for batch work

This item is a set of dipping inks from Green Stuff World. A dipping ink is applied generously and runs into the recesses by itself, where it darkens the shadow and brings out the shape. That is exactly why it is popular with people who are not painting one piece but a whole group of figures or models and need them all to look like one whole.

Where the set is worth it most

The biggest difference from buying piece by piece lies in the flow of the work. Painting a larger batch has a rhythm of its own: the work surface is prepared, the first step is run through on all the pieces and then it goes on. The moment you find halfway through that one tone is missing, the rhythm falls apart and you come back to unfinished work several days later. A set from one range holds the whole procedure together from start to finish, so only the work is planned, not the buying.

Recommended procedure

• Get the whole batch ready at once; dipping goes quickly and it is worth doing in one sitting.
• Apply the ink generously and let it run; do not push it into the area.
• Draw the excess off with a clean squeezed-out brush before it spreads over the raised places.
• Shake every bottle before use, the pigment settles to the bottom.
• Keep the same number of passes on the same type of surface; the batch then looks uniform.

Who the set is for

For figure painters and modelers who work in larger batches, and for anyone who wants the shading tones ready before needing them.

Keep out of the reach of children, work on a protected surface and in a well-ventilated room.
