Shrub Tufts 6mm self-adhesive - Dark Violet

Dark violet shrubs 6 mm high

Tiny tufts of low shrubby growth that are laid onto finished terrain and complete the places where grass alone would look empty. The height of six millimeters and the self-adhesive form are written in the name; the count of tufts, their diameter and their composition are missing from it, so no such number is stated here.

Where violet works

In nature violet is a rarer color, and that is exactly why it gives a scene expression. It matches flowering heather on an autumn slope, the lavender rows of a southern landscape or tufts of weeds in flower along a wall. It serves no less well in fantasy scenes, where the landscape is to look exotic and colorful: on a game mat a violet shrub becomes a strong accent that draws the eye to the main figure.

Placing them in a scene

• Take the tufts off the backing with tweezers, with fingers you squeeze them needlessly
• Distribute them irregularly and in uneven numbers, symmetry looks artificial
• Cover the foot of the tuft with a fine scatter, the joint with the terrain will then not be visible
• Dose the color accent, one strong patch does more than ten

Who it suits

Painters of figures who are finishing bases will reach for them, as will makers of fantasy landscapes and builders of civilian scenes where a garden or a field margin is to burst into flower. They do good service in winter and autumn scenes too, as a counterweight to gray and brown. Keep in mind at the same time that colorful growth tends to be seen before the figure itself, and so deserves the same attention as the main element of the scene.
