About SHADE colours in the True Metallic Metal system:

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

• BASE: metallic foundation tones
• SHADE: satin washes — such as Dusken Green Shade
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlights
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-optimized BASE variants

They enhance shadow depth without muting the metallic brilliance of the underlying colours, allowing precise control over volume and structure.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Apply over fully dried BASE or LIGHT layers.
• Brush: apply neat or dilute with water.
• Airbrush: ready to spray directly.
• Excellent for shading dark green metallic surfaces.
