Reply To: Contrast Paints, is everyone really using them and are they actually quicker?

Two years ago, draadhaai on Reddit came up with these results for DIY, based on Goober’s constrast mix.

Sounds like contrast paints can be made with 9-10 drops of matte medium, 1 drop of flow aid, and 10 drops of acrylic ink. This is actually similar to Les Bursley’s (sp) wash recipe (which also has water), which I’ve been using for quite awhile.  (BTW, when using as a wash, try wetting down the miniature so the wash flows better.)
