About SHADE colours in the True Metallic Metal system:

SHADE washes are essential to the BSL (Base – Shade – Light) workflow:

• BASE: smooth metallic foundation colours
• SHADE: satin washes — such as Celestial Violet Shade
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlights
• AIRBRUSH: BASE tones optimized for airbrush use

They deepen contrast and reinforce structure without dulling the reflective qualities of metallic paints.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Apply over fully dried BASE or LIGHT layers.
• Brush: apply neat or thin with water for softer transitions.
• Airbrush: ready to spray directly.
• Excellent for shading cool blue-violet metallic effects.
