The general idea of a wash is simply diluted paint, which is usually used to accentuate deeper lying parts (i.e. bottom of creases etc). Catiline uses washes for his small scale figures, easier way to paint shady areas than to do it all by hand. I used a very dark brown wash to tint the bear's pelt.<br>
As for sorts of paint, you can use any sort of paint for this technique with the right type of solvent. Spirits/turpentine with oils & enamels, water for acrylics etc. Just take to find a type of paint with a rich, fine pigment, so that the diluted paint is still evenly coloured. <p>Greets<BR>
