About product

A purple without the adventure of mixing

Mixing a stable purple on a palette means hitting the ratio of red and blue, and above all hitting it a second time once the first portion runs out. The second portion always comes out different, which shows at once as soon as the second sleeve of the same cloak is being finished. The ready shade Wicked Purple removes that problem entirely: two parts painted a week apart will have the same tone.

How it behaves on a model

As it dries the application draws from the raised areas into the hollows. On drapery, chains or hair a difference between light and shadow therefore arises by itself. It is with purple that this saves the most work, because its shadow variant is ordinarily built by adding black, and that deadens the shade into gray.

Field of use

  • Cloaks, hoods and ornamental trim on figures
  • Fantasy armor and sorcerous effects
  • A ground under metallic highlights on dark motifs
  • Shading pink and flesh tones from the same line

Working with a brush

Load the paint in a sufficient amount so that it will do for the whole area of the part at once. A thin, stingy application draws together unevenly and leaves patches. If the shade is to be damped down, it is applied over a light gray ground; over a white one it looks most saturated. Once dry it can be brought out locally with a further pass in the deepest folds.

Combinations within the set

The shade holds together well with the warm flesh tones of the same family: applied into the folds of a sleeve over a flesh ground it creates a cool shadow that would otherwise be built with a separately mixed glaze. It does the same service under silver highlights, where it damps the sheen into a darker impression.

FAQ

For repeatability. The ratio of red and blue is only rarely hit exactly a second time and the difference is visible on neighboring parts of the same figure.

It will darken it, but it will also go gray and lose saturation. With this type of paint that is not needed, as the depth arises from the uneven settling of the pigment.

On a cloak or a banner, yes, only you have to have enough paint on the brush for the whole part. An interrupted application leaves a visible boundary.

The color of the ground. A white base gives the most saturated purple, a light gray one damps it down into a more faded form suited to worn clothing.
