About product

The cool shadow of vampire figures

Vampiric Purple is a deep purple with a cool ring to it, that is exactly what is looked for with undead and vampire motifs. It can be used in two ways: as a color of its own for a cloak or cloth, or as a shadow coat applied over an already finished pale flesh ground.

The risk that thereby falls away

The second use is the more interesting. Anyone wanting a cool shadow over light flesh usually prepares a heavily thinned purple glaze and spreads it across the face. The typical trouble arises in the process: the glaze dries before it can be spread and a sharp edge of a dried bead is left on the cheek. That then has to be laboriously painted over with flesh and the whole procedure repeated. A ready paint with controlled drying does not form that edge: the pigment draws into the grooves by itself and the area stays clean.

Where the shade works

  • Cloaks, collars and the upholstery of coffins
  • A shadow over pale flesh and over light hair
  • Dark costly fabrics, velvet and brocade
  • A ground under black parts that are not meant to be flat

Leading the application

For the role of a shadow the paint is applied only into the hollows with the tip of a fine brush, not across the whole area. The surplus can be drawn off with the edge of a dry brush while it is still damp. As a full color for a cloak, by contrast, it calls for one continuous stroke across the whole part.

Working with the other shades

Paired with light flesh and with a blood red it forms the usual trio of a vampire scene. On metal parts, above all on old silver and pewter, it can damp the sheen down and add an impression of cold without the metal losing its glint entirely.

FAQ

Apply it with a fine brush only into the hollows of a finished light ground and draw the surplus off the edge with a dry brush while the coat is damp.

Thinned paint dries around the rim of a bead before you can spread it, and a marked ring is left at the boundary. The controlled drying of a ready paint prevents that.

Yes, as an underlying coat. A black laid over a purple ground looks livelier than a flat black applied straight onto a primer.

It is. It will serve on dark period fabrics, velvet and upholstery, where a pure black would look too hard.
