Pale flesh is harder than ordinary skin – white on its own reads as plastic and grey as stone. This set solves it by adding magenta, purple and a dirty red to Offwhite and Vampiric Flesh, putting life back into pale skin: veins showing through, reddened eyelids, shadow in the folds. Six shades cover everything from a vampire to a drowned man.

FAQ
How do I paint veins showing through?
Thin Deep Purple to a very light glaze and lay it in one pass where veins sit close to the surface – temples, neck, back of the hand. Go over it with the base flesh tone once dry so the hard line disappears.
Can the set be used on living figures?
Yes, but only as a supplement. It has no base human skin tone – Vampiric Flesh is deliberately free of warm undertones. As a set for reddening and shadows it works on historical figures too.
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.
