Citadel Shade: Reikland Fleshshade 18ml

Reikland Fleshshade is the skin-shading shortcut every painter ends up loving. A warm reddish-brown wash, it flows into the recesses of faces and hands to add instant, natural-looking shadow — turning flat basecoats into believable skin in a single coat. It's just as handy on wood, leather and bone.
