About product

A light flesh tone for an airbrush

Athena Skin offers a pale, slightly cool skin. It finds a use on elves, priestesses and statues and serves equally well as an upper light over darker flesh grounds. Being placed in the Game Air program means that the paint leaves the bottle liquid enough and you usually do not have to look for a thinner for it. It covers gradually, so saturation is reached by repeating thin passes, not by one thick application.

A comparison with the related flesh shades

Against the warmer and darker skins of the same palette it contains less of the red component, and that is why it is used as a light rather than as a ground. When you are looking for a single shade that will cover a whole figure with no further layering, a medium flesh tone will be more practical. As soon as you want a smooth transition from shadow to the highest brightness, though, both have their place and complement each other.

Another road is the brush version of the same program. It suits small areas, repairs and everywhere covering the surroundings up would take more time than the painting itself. On larger figures and on smooth transitions, on the contrary, spraying saves work and leaves a more even surface with no traces of bristles.

The bottle has to be stirred properly, as light pigments settle to the bottom faster than dark ones and a badly mixed application then comes out unevenly. Once completely dry, the shade will take further coats, glazes and drybrushing. Let the surface rest between the individual passes, or the coat beneath will bleed and the paint will lose its cleanness.

FAQ

Yes, on light races it is used as a ground. With darker skins it tends to be more practical to lay a more saturated tone down and to model the lights with this shade only afterwards.

Light flesh colors cover more slowly. Over a dark ground reckon with three to four thin passes; over a light ground two are enough.

Upright at room temperature, away from frost. Wipe the cap so that the dropper does not get stuck with dried residue.

Yes, the whole palette is water-based and the colors mix with one another. For lights of your own a little white or pale yellow is often added.
