DUST / RAINMARKS pencils

AK Interactive Dust / Rainmarks weathering pencil

A weathering pencil from the Spanish brand AK Interactive with a water-soluble, heavily pigmented lead in a wooden casing. The lead is less greasy than ordinary watercolor pencils, holds on matte varnish and can be blended out with water at any time. The Dust / Rainmarks shade is tuned for settled dust and for the vertical streaks that running rain leaves on a surface.

Use

• Dry: drawing vertical rain streaks, dust on horizontal surfaces and in recesses.
• Wet: a moistened pencil or drawing a damp brush from top to bottom gives realistic streaks and blended dust.
• Apply it onto a matte surface, ideally with distilled water; a finished effect can be washed off with a brush and water and started again.
• It blends with a brush, a cotton swab or a finger into soft transitions.

Who it is for

For modelers who want to create dusty and rain-marked surfaces quickly without mixing paints. It suits aircraft, vehicles and dioramas.

A water-soluble pigment, nontoxic. Do not leave the pencil soaking in water, the wooden casing would swell. Keep out of the reach of small children.
