About product

Fresh Algae: a pigment of fresh algae

This richly green pigment imitates the fresh growth of algae that takes hold where it is permanently damp. Against the dark shades of mold it is markedly livelier, so it suits above all the places in direct contact with water. Like every pigment it is a loose powder with no binder, which is fixed once applied.

Typical use

  • the waterline and the sides of ship hulls
  • concrete quays, piers and steps down to water
  • the edges of puddles, channels and tanks on a diorama
  • stone masonry and wells in a damp setting
  • drums, cans and equipment standing in water

How to work with it

Green growth is almost always uneven: keep to a narrow band around the water surface and let it tell against the surrounding dirt. Apply it dry with a soft brush, or moisten the powder and spread it as a paste into the recesses. A combination with a darker green or brown pigment will give it depth. Fix it only once you have the result you want, because fixing darkens and mutes the shade a little.

Do not inhale the powder, work in a ventilated space and close the container after use. Keep out of the reach of children.
