Hello!
Going off the Luke Aps video he shows an easy way to make copius amounts of GW style wash
He goes over nuln oil and agrax

I was curious if anyone knew how to make Reikland fleshshade, what colors/ inks did you use!
Please and thank you!

Apparently most flesh tones are a mix of red blue yellow and white

you probably could make a mix with probably a bit more red (as i believe reikland shade is a bit on the red side.

dunno if you can mix inks in that way but could be worth a shot if you have those already.

I've never done it but I'm sure it can be done. I use Golden brand artist's liquid pigment. I suspect Reikland is somewhere between an Iron Oxide or Burnt Sienna (on the brown side) and maybe a Cadmium or Crimson or Magenta (on the red side). Id get some small vials of each and some matte medium and water and start experimenting. My one insight is that you'll need more pigment than you'll think. Also, document your ratios carefully... when you get it right you want to recreate it.

Or...you could just use the flesh basecoat you used mixed with a small amount of a red-brown(Like chestnut) thinned down, That way you'd get a more natural blend.
I avoid flesh washes as I find them too severe a contrast most times.
