About SHADE colours in the True Metallic Metal system:

SHADE washes form a fundamental part of the BSL (Base – Shade – Light) workflow:

• BASE: metallic foundation colours
• SHADE: satin washes — such as Arcane Gold Shade
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlights
• AIRBRUSH: BASE tones formulated for airbrush use

They enhance structural clarity, depth and shadow placement without muting the lustre of the metal.

Usage tips:

• Shake well before use.
• Apply over fully dried BASE or LIGHT layers.
• Brush: apply neat or thin with water for softer transitions.
• Airbrush: ready to spray straight from the bottle.
• Excellent for shading warm, rich gold metallic surfaces.
