{"title":"Vallejo Model Wash Acrylic Weathering Washes","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVallejo Model Wash for Shading and Weathering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVallejo Model Wash is a range of transparent, water-based acrylic colors for changing the appearance of painted models. A wash can emphasize recessed detail, while a thin filter can adjust the overall tone of a surface. The effect depends on the wash color, the underlying paint and how much material is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMatch the Wash to the Base Color\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDark tones can strengthen shadows around joints and fittings; earth and dust tones can suggest exposure to the environment. Rust colors can be layered to vary a corroded finish. Select a reference according to the model's existing color and the intended result rather than treating every dark wash as interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eControl Placement and Layering\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVallejo's application guides show washes used for filters, streaks and splashes as well as recessed shading. Work in controlled layers and follow the product instructions for thinning and drying. Water can dilute the wash, but it does not remove the effect after it has dried. Brushes and airbrushes are both described in the manufacturer's range guidance; the technique determines which is appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vallejo-pigments\"\u003eVallejo Pigments\u003c\/a\u003e for dry surface deposits, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vallejo-weathering-effects\"\u003eVallejo Weathering Effects\u003c\/a\u003e for specialized weathered finishes, and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vallejo-diorama-fx\"\u003eVallejo Diorama FX\u003c\/a\u003e for the terrain around your subject.
