Snow Blue is a very pale blue with an icy character – the colour of snow in shadow. It is one of the few shades that instantly bring cold to a figure.

Why not paint snow with white alone?
Because pure white has no shape. Snow Blue in the hollows and white only on the crests of drifts – the snow then reads as volume and cold rather than a coat of varnish.
How do I thin it?
With water or an AK thinner. A few drops are enough for brush work; airbrushing needs more – AK thinners and cleaners are made for that. With acrylics, two thin coats always beat one thick one.
Is the finish really matt?
Yes, the 3rd Generation range dries matt. To protect the figure or even out the sheen, seal it with a matt varnish at the end.
The full range is in the AK 3rd Generation category.
