AK Oil Paints Faded Flesh (20 ml)

AK Interactive AKABT190 Oil Paint Faded Flesh (20 ml) is an ABT502 series oil paint in the shade "faded skin tone." Oil paints have a long working time, providing excellent control for shading, blending, filters, washes, drips, and subtle surface blending. The ABT502 series is designed for model-making: the paint is highly pigmented, spreads easily, and, after wiping off excess oil, creates a more natural, less glossy effect than standard art oils.

The “faded skin tone” shade is best used for muted skin tones, figurines, fading effects, and blending facial features. It works well on military vehicles, aircraft, ships, figures, fantasy miniatures, and in wargaming, where it helps quickly add depth to details and create natural color transitions.

Recommended Procedure

1. Ideally, apply to a well-dried and varnished acrylic or enamel base. A glossy or satin varnish will make it easier for the paint to run into crevices, while a matte finish holds the pigment better.
2. For a wash or filter effect, dilute the paint with a suitable thinner for oil and enamel effects. For streaking, apply small dots or lines and use a clean brush to pull them in the direction of rain, dust, or airflow.
3. For blending and miniatures, work with a very small amount of paint. Soften the transitions with a clean brush or a brush lightly moistened with thinner.
4. Allow the paint to dry for a longer period than with acrylic paints. Thicker layers of oil paint may take several days to dry.
