Mediterranean Blue is a mid azure – clean, bright and free of any violet cast. It is the blue that comes to mind with the word sea. On a figure it works as the dependable mid tone of a blue ladder, and on bases as the foundation of water.

How do I paint water on a base?
Prussian Blue in the deep areas, Mediterranean Blue in the middle, Light Turquoise in the shallows, and let the sand show through. Only then pour the resin – the colour gradient belongs under it, not in it.
What do I shade it with?
Enchanted Blue or Prussian Blue. Do not add black – blue with black looks dirty and loses its luminosity.
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.
