Citadel Base Paint - Knight Questor Flesh (12ml)

Keppet's Tip

Knight-Questor Flesh is a great mid-tone flesh colour that gives you a solid starting point for painting human skin without being too pale or too dark. It's particularly useful when you want a warm, natural-looking skin tone that can then be shaded and highlighted.

I like using colours like this as the middle step in a simple three-stage approach: basecoat, shade into the recesses, then bring the raised areas back up with the original colour before adding a lighter highlight.

Knight-Questor Flesh works particularly well as the foundation for a simple skin-painting recipe. Apply a flesh or brown wash to define the recesses, then bring the raised areas back up with Knight-Questor Flesh before adding a lighter flesh tone to the most prominent areas.

It's also useful for mixing custom flesh tones. Add a little Rakarth Flesh or Wraithbone to create a lighter highlight, or introduce a darker brown to create a deeper shade. A dependable flesh colour that's easy to work with and has plenty of uses beyond just painting faces.
