Albus White is a white that does not shout. It carries a barely perceptible green cast, so on a figure it reads as material rather than as a glint. It is the safe choice for whole white surfaces – robes, cloaks, bandages – where pure white looks harsh.

Why not just use White?
Pure white over a large area reads like a bare wall. Albus White carries enough tone for cloth to look like cloth, and you keep white for the final edges.
How many coats over grey primer?
Two thin ones. Over white primer one is enough, over black expect three – better to base with a light grey first.
How do I thin this paint?
With water or an Ionic thinner. The formula is self-hydrating, so it stays workable on the palette far longer than ordinary acrylics – a drop is enough for brush work, and roughly 1 : 1 for airbrush.
Is the finish really matt?
Yes, it dries matt with no shiny patches. If the figure is going on the gaming table, seal it with a matt varnish at the end.
