What do I highlight it with next?
Verdigris or Cloud Blue, or a drop of white. White works better on turquoise than on blue – but even so, only for the final point.
Does it cover a dark base?
Poorly. As a highlight over an already turquoise surface one coat is enough; as a standalone colour it needs a light base.
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.
