Titanium White belongs to the Ink range, marked with a light blue circle. Unlike an opaque white it is a thin, semi-transparent ink – it lightens in layers rather than all at once, which is exactly what smooth transitions need.

Apply over finished, dry paint. Thin it with Glaze Medium for an even softer effect, or mix it with coloured inks for pale tinted glazes.
Why use a white ink rather than white paint?
Because an opaque white lightens in a jump and leaves an edge. An ink lightens in layers, so the transition stays smooth.
How do I paint a haze effect?
With several very thin passes, working from the bottom up or from the edges inwards. Haze must have no hard edge – it has to fade away.
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.
