Simplest method: Layer, wash, drybrush.

Layer the base color down, then wash the entire thing down darker (in your case, use Biel-tan green or something similar). Then take a lighter color and slowly work up highlights through drybrushing across the tops of the folds. I'd say go with Loren Forest and go up from there to paler colors. Option B is to go bright on the colors (Warpstone, etc).

I've got some models, but the only pics I have atm really suck.



Here, we have Loren Forest -> Biel-Tan Green (wash) -> Straken Green (drybrush)

On a cloak, you can edge highlight with a lighter color.

Black washes tend to make the model look muddy when you actually just want a darker/deeper version of the same color.

Darken your green paint by by about 30% and thin it out with a medium (making a wash). Wash the robes.

Then take the original paint color, lighten it by around 30%, and carefully edge highlight (paint the upper creases). Lighten that paint again by another 30% and paint over a smaller area.

You can replace the careful lining with drybrushing if you have good control and a small brush (I find it easier to drybrush areas like that, but I am apparently very good with control with drybrushing).
