Green is a clean mid green – what the word brings to mind. It is balanced between the blue and yellow sides, so it can be pushed in any direction, and saturated enough to carry as a main colour. It is the core green of the range.

How do I build a green ladder?
Base with Green, shade with Dark Green and Black Forest, highlight with Nymph Green and Mint Green. Do not add black to the shade – green with black looks like mould.
Why does green look plastic on my figure?
Usually because it is too even. Green in nature is never one colour – glaze yellow and blue into the area and it comes alive at once.
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.
