About product

Tanned skin without mixing shades

Tanned Skin is aimed at the complexion of someone who has spent years under the sun: a warm tone shifted toward brown with no pink cast. It suits soldiers from desert campaigns, sailors, laborers and fantasy characters from southern peoples. The paint works in a single coat, pulls itself into the eye sockets, the corners of the mouth and between the fingers and darkens there, so a face gains depth before you reach for a second color.

Where it most often goes wrong

The habit of priming everything black kills this type of paint outright. The shade is translucent and counts on light shining through from below, so over a dark base it turns a muddy, lifeless brown. The mistake therefore does not happen while painting, but at the moment you reach for the spray can. Flesh calls for a light base, ideally white or bone, or else a dark base lightened with a dry brush. The difference is obvious at first glance.

Where the color is used

  • Faces and hands of soldiers in figure scales
  • Bare shoulders and backs on historical figures
  • Underpainting beneath finer flesh tints
  • Leather straps and harness where lighter hide should show through

On small faces a single drop is enough, drawn out with a soft tip from the nose to the edges. If the shade seems too saturated, wipe the brush dry and pass it over the raised areas while the paint is still wet. Lips, cheeks and scars are done last, over a perfectly dry surface.

FAQ

Almost certainly because of a dark base. A translucent shade needs light from below, or it turns muddy brown. Repaint the part with a light base and apply the color again.

Yes, on small figures it is even at an advantage, because the shadow forms by itself and you do not have to paint it into a space that has no room for it.

Apply a thinner amount and blend it out at once with a dry brush set aside for that, or lighten the raised areas with an opaque flesh color once it has dried.

It does not have to be. The surface dries matte and holds on its own. We recommend varnish only on figures that are handled often.
