Citadel Contrast Paints

Ultramarine blue over a pale blue works well.

Treat them as watercolours, not inks or acrylics.

Treat them as watercolours,

Ok so why would anybody want to turn water into a different colour, particularly when they should be trying to paint a figure a different colour

Now on one hand I can see that trying to turn white snow yellow can be fun, but water is water right

I might try a black or dark purple for my medieval arabs. I've already undercoated them in a light brown wash, it might even work just using my regular black wash thinking about it?

.....but water is water right?

Yep, that's watertight.

Tim, if you’re painting black washed figures with a dark CP, I’d give them a dry brushing with white/off white (edited to add: BEFORE applying the CP, that is) so that they’ve got some highlighting that’ll ‘show’ through the paint.

I saw some great Brunswickers once that had been highlighted with dark grey
