Could the brown be used by itself like the old chestnut ink?

If it can that may change my mind

Zandri Dust base, over that a glaze of Darkoath Flesh contrast. Drybrush with Bleached Bone.



It’s the same technique I use with old inks (although sometimes skip the final drybrush depending) Base - glaze - (highlight). Looking like the new contrast paints can fil a similar role. They pool a little more in the recesses than the old inks (more shade like), but that’s not a bad thing.

One of the reasons I picked up the Darkoath Flesh is because I use chestnut ink for a lot of things, wanted to see if this could be a replacement. I thought the true browns looked a little darker then I wanted (a glaze over other colors) so went with the paler brown of one of the flesh tones.

Also experimenting with a red, but sadly none of their blues looked right to replace the old Blue Wash.
