I'm attempting to make a thin wash to paint my Necron Gauss Immortals (the barrels of their guns). I have very unsteady hands so I am hoping that the wash will flow into the crevice to create a green pattern. Afterwards, I can most likely paint the outer parts with leadbelcher or something.

Unfortunately, I only have a green base color (P3 Necrotite Green) and no wash. What kind of water to paint ratio should I use to create a thin wash?

What I usually do is put a blob of paint onto a palette or plate, and then use your brush to add a little water. I usually mix in from one side of the blob so I get a range of consistency. It's pretty easy to get the consistency right. because you can see when the paint goes thin and starts to break apart. You can test on another part of the plate first.

What I also like to do is brush a little water onto the surface I'm going to wash first, so it's already wet. That can help with evening out the wash.
