Six spectrum colours in their most saturated form – yellow, orange, red, purple, green and blue, all heavily pigmented. The reason to own them is not only saturation: paints like these are the best glazing colours. Thinned, they can be drawn over an already painted area to shift its tone without burying the transitions underneath, which ordinary opaque paint cannot do.

FAQ
How do I make a glaze?
Thin the paint with thinner or medium at roughly 1:8 to 1:10 and lay a thin coat over a dry surface. Repeat until the tone arrives – one thick coat buries the transitions, ten thin ones emphasise them.
Do these paints cover well?
Less than the standard shades – the high pigment load costs opacity in the yellow and the red. For flat coverage use a standard-range base and the intense colour on top.
Can the paints be bought individually?
Yes. These are standard shades from the AK 3rd Generation range in 17 ml bottles, so when one runs out you only replace that one.
Can they be airbrushed?
Yes. Thinned with 3rd Generation thinner they pass through a 0.2 mm nozzle as easily as lacquer paints. Neat, they are meant for brushwork.
More paint sets are in the AK 3rd Generation Paint Sets category, and individual shades in AK 3rd Generation.
