Tan Earth is a mid earthy brown – the workhorse for anything that touches the ground. It sits exactly between Mud Brown and Light Earth, so those three build a whole base.

Which three browns cover a base?
Mud Brown as the shadow, Tan Earth as the mid tone and Light Earth drybrushed on top. That trio makes believable soil without pigments.
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.
